Had this computer for about 7 months and still going strong. Crashed only because of my stupidity.

I originally bought the 4150 w/o a CDRW drive because I already had a TDK external. For some reason, it just wasn't happy (burned about 30 coasters) so I decided to buy the Dell DVD/CDRW module for $200, and I never had any problems since...

Some people complain about the heat but this is my first laptop so I have nothing to reference. When placed on my lap, it does get toasty but not to the point where it is unbearable. I usually get almost 2 hours/charge. Great computer!!!
