This laptop is super durable. I spilled milk on it, exposed it to sunlight, gently slammed it on the floor, and it's still fully functioning with all diagnostic reporting no errors!
Thanks magma80! After reviewing the M4400, I decided to sell it on eBay. The reason was that it was very heavy and the performance under Windows Vista x64 wasn't very impressive. So now I'm on a MacBook. :-)
That's funny, me and my girlfriend just did the exact opposite. M4400 is way faster, especially with the SSD being a faster newer one. Screen is obviously better on the Dell too.
When I was using it the M4400 felt rock-solid but it was very heavy. The extra-capacity battery sticks out in the back. The LCD was very nice: matte and 1920 x 1200 on a 15.4-inch. Brightness was great since this model used two CCFLs. The best option would be to get the RGB LED backlight model. The keyboard was pretty good but I didn't like the trackpad that much, especially the three-button layout. For some reason I felt Windows wasn't responding as quickly as a 2.8GHz C2D w/4GB machine should.
this laptop is from 1980,

Dell makes hideous laptops and this is a prime example.

This classic design is better than the typical bullshit latchless designs you see with entertainment notebooks.

Just don't understand why it's so expensive, compared to Vostro.

Vostro is the cheapest business brand of Dell laptops!
