My original post was removed because of a single expletive(?). :emotion-16: They were correct I should have found a better way of describing it. The following was the first reply that I got before the post was removed. I would offer credit to the user but it wasn't saved when I added the link to my favorites.
Why these manuals are great, I really would like more information. Like the year it came out and information about picking one up from Dell even if it is refurbished.
They came out in mid-2006 and were around for about 12-18 months - a normal life cycle for a notebook computer. Beware though, that notebooks generally have a design life of about three years - after that time, problem rates rise and parts fail. This IS a notebook computer and as with all of these, many of the internal components such as the mainboard and video card are proprietary and expensive to replace.
Unless you get a very good price on one, I'd pass - the current all-in-one systems are a better idea from a reliability standpoint.
