I guess one thing in my first post that I had meant to say somewhat differently was: I don't mind that companies now offer widescreen laptops, I know they fit many people's needs quite well. I just wish they had BOTH aspect ratios available. At work I had the company set me up with 2 side-by-side 20 inch standard ratio monitors, but for my desktop machine at home I have a single 24 inch widescreen monitor; for different uses various configurations could be more optimal. I'm just saying that for what I need a laptop for, I'd MUCH prefer to have a 15-16ish inch standard ratio screen, even though I have the opposite preference on my desktop.
SethKinast, that's a great suggestion. I never would have guessed that the price difference between Dell Home and Dell Small Business would have been that big for equivalent machines. If I go Dell I think I'd still end up with an Inspiron, but that's only because the Dell supplier discount that I get from my company can't be applied to the Vostro line.
