How efficient are Dell Laptops?

I know, I've talked about building my own desktop, but as it seems, there are more and more needs for mobile computing.  I am looking into a Dell Inspiron 6000 with an upgraded HD and 512-1GB of RAM.

How efficient do you think it would be?  What are some other models you would suggest?

For now, I would stick with a desktop, but Dell makes very nice laptops. Other companies I would recommend are HP & Acer.

My sister got the 6000 and is very happy with it.  The widescreen is very nice.  Dell computers are very good but are a ripoff unless you can find coupons for a bunch of money of of them which you usually can so usually stupid people buy for full price.

Coupons for the Inspiron 9300 and coupons for the 6000... Today I configured a Dell Inspiron 9300 for ~ $2,200. It had 2 GB of RAM, a 2.13 GHz Pentium M, a 100 GB hard drive, 17\" screen, Geforce 6800 128 MB, an 8x DVD+/- R/RW, bluetooth and 802.11 a/b/g and a 1-year warranty with at-home service. With that coupon, I coulda gotten it for $1,700... but I'm waiting for Yonah or Merom, first.

Cheerio, Dell's rule!

A_Pickle, are those EBay [resold] coupons trustworthy?  Seems to me it is an easy way to scam people.  But of course, it is only a few bucks, but it's the principle of it!

Omg, I actually provided a nice link.  It is updated every week or so with new coupons so check back there before making a purchase.
