The cost for the Inspiron is in the shipping; the thing's a tank.

I just did a net install on an Inspiron 3500 and it's working fine, modulo
sound.  Same Pentium II, XGA TFT, and 440BX chipset as the 7000, but about
2/3 the height and a bit lighter.  Sadly, it also has the same detestable
two-button trackpad.

Would be nice if one of the useless "billg ego keys" could be used as a
third mouse button instead of shift+button 2.
