Looking for a laptop....anyone have a Dell Inspiron 1520?

[Mickey&JoshNut]

I was looking to purchase a laptop to take on vacations to be able to upload my pictures, keep my trip journal and be able to access the internet. I have a desktop at home that will continue to be my main computer. I would like the laptop to have Windows XP on it and have found it quite difficult to find laptops with XP.

I did find a Dell Inspiron 1520 on line that still comes with Windows XP and I was wondering if anyone has one and whether you like it, hate it...or have any other recommendations.

I'm using one right now to type this. We love it and it has Vista on it. I use to be a XP fan but no more. A friend told me to upgrade the video card because that is what freezes Vista, it apparently relies heavily on it . I'm computer stupid so I can't swear to this info but it works fine for me. With all the neat toys it has compared to XP I hardly use the desk top anymore.

I took it to Florida on the last trip and it was great to download the camera every night, write down some details of the day and keep in touch with friends and family on Facebook or e-mail. The daily internet charges add up quickly though.

Thanks Chris for the response. One of the reasons I want XP is so that I can transfer data from my laptop to my desktop and vice versa.
