I had been using a Compaq Presario 1800T (PIII, 700MHz, 196MB, 15in SXGA+, Win2k) for the past 4 years and I loved it. However, age caught up with it and the machine no longer seems as zippy as it used to. I am a Java Developer and Architect and IDEs such as NetBeans, Eclipse, JBuilder, and WSAD, are my bread and butter. I also run BEA Weblogic and JBoss Application servers frequently. In the past couple of years all these applications have gotten really fat and the 1800T was simply not capable to run two of them at once. I had been complementing it with my desktop up till now. However, I have to go India for a long time and so I decided to get a new notebook, which ended up being the Dell Inspiron 6000..
