I bought the Dell Inspiron 3800 in August 2000 for $1800 (including S+H and extra warranty). Although this is a solid working machine, Dell has phased out this model and has newer models out sporting the latest technologies. They still have some I3800...

Cons: The 3.5 floppy and DVD ROM share a docking bay.

I purchased my Dell after researching price and value in traditional retail systems (Compaq, Sony, IBM, etc). The deciding factor ended up being a promotion Dell ran including a free extra battery, free shipping and a DVD upgrade. The machine has been...
