rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Wybnormal - While many people think that 400 bucks for a firewall is obscene, it's more obscene to spend 50 dollars on something that LOOKS like a firewall and is intended to protect your personal information, bank records and other highly sought after information...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Wybnormal - As a road warrior vet (My first "laptop" weighed 15lbs) I can really appriciate the lightwieght Dell 700m laptop.
