Re: cross posted: laptop workstation for multimedia production

[Robert Lauriston <robert -at- lauriston -dot- com>]

Look at Latitude laptops in the Business & Education section of Dell
Outlet. You can get a maxed-out top-of-the-line system for
considerably less than from the regular retail section. Outlet systems
reportedly go through more rigorous testing. The business-oriented
Latitudes are better-made and more reliable than the mass-market
Inspirons.

E.g. there's currently a Latitude E5520 with 8GB RAM, 500GB HD, $1039
plus $328 for a three-year warranty and support.
