Here is my laptop. It's a Dell 5150 Inspirion. There are issues with the 5100/5150 that I unfortunately ran into lately. Apparently the way the heatsink is designed, it clollects dust. So after a while it overheats and powers off. Once that happens, it's a 5% chance that it will power on enough to bring up the OS. To give them credit though, I was past my warranty, and they admitted it was faulty, and I got to replace my CPU, heatsink and fan for free. So I would recommend Dell, just not the 5100/5150 ;)
