Check out Dell's site
.... I've had my Dell Inspiron 5100 for several years and it's been a great workhorse ....

Recently put a 80gig internal HDD into it , came originally with a 40gig HDD , I've already maxed the RAM , can't add more , and with the WD portable HDD I've stacks of storage . I like the 1400x1050 15" screen , I can cram a lot onto the screen and have great resolution in images.
Only faults I can pick with it are it doesn't burn DVDs , it's only got 2 USB2 ports , and I'd like to install more RAM.

I'd stick with XP Pro .... but I think all Dell's lappys are now Win7 , you could always repartition the HDD and install your (OEM) copy of XP Pro and then load up your backup to the new machine .

If I buy another lappy, it'll be another Dell , a 17" model next time .
