[recycled sixtie]

I have had a Dell Inspiron 15 inch for over 2 years. Keys are not illuminated but battery life is 3 hours plus.Just replaced the battery after 2 years of use. In expensive and totally reliable. I think I paid around $500 for it . I do not want to pay big $$$ for a Mac as I would not use all the features. Next time I would buy a smaller laptop either Dell or Sony. Something that is lighter for travel.
