Dell Inspiron 1525 - cheapest of the cheap without being a mini laptop. I based my decision on our work's Inspiron 640m (perhaps not the greatest machine in the world but it had better performance than my old desktop and a 2.5-3.5 hour battery life watching a dvd to boot.. after a year in action). Boy was that a mistake

Yeah, Vista's a huge mistake in general, really. My Compaq takes anywhere between five to ten minutes to boot up from scratch on Vista basic. Then again, my Compaq's not exactly powerful...
"Cranky" sounds like a bit of an understatement there. O.o Good luck finding something decent, though. All I seem to hear these days are stories about how someone's just bought a new laptop and it's rubbish. Lucky they're getting kinda cheap these days, or no-one'd buy them at all.
And the next day you shall begin a search for another laptop which will promptly be returned the following day... as the the circle of shoddy workmanship in the 21st century...
