I rather like the laptop I've been using for the past several months: a
Dell Precision M4400.  I track stable/8 & head (in different slices) on
it daily; it normally takes about an hour to take care of both of those.

And it has a 1920x1200 display -- as well as 2 sets of 3 mouse buttons
each (each of which works as expected).

I have found that I sometimes manage to slide the "WiFi disable" switch
to an unwanted setting accidentally, and the power connection slips out
a little too easily, but those are about the worst things I can think of
with respect to the hardware.

Peace,
david
