    this friggin thing is huge. We deploy gateway 450's at work, and this is a beast when compared to it.

    So far I have received the following comments:

    "wow that is an old laptop ... you should try to get a newer one ... it would be much smaller".

    "... is that a docking station your laptop is sitting on"?

    Hmmm, deploying the 9100 to a business is kind of puzzling though, it's not a very mobile laptop for users to have and Dell would never sell it through their business store (in fact, Inspiron is a consumer targeted line, Latitude is for business purchasers).

    just kick em in the shins!!!

    then knock them with the dell.

    And say , betcha cant do that with your laptop.


    Im so tired of people talking about how big it is.

    Meanwhile they are all driving huge gas guzzling SUVs (that hold like 13 people) to get milk at the grocery store and drive to work.

    Ive kicked 2 people already!!!
