In all honesty I don't like dell... I think people are getting confused about their customer support... It's not that they're good... the only thing about their customer support that's any different then anyone else's is the fact that they are willing to come out to your home to fix whatever needs fixing...

You made a good choice choosing the athlon over the celeron...

But to tell you the truth I would have skipped both dell and HP and gotten a toshiba laptop... Toshiba makes the best laptops hands down... IMO anyway...
