Ok you computer guys. I've been wanting to get something to run OBDII diagnostics so I was looking into PDAs, but it snowballed from there. I've been wanting a laptop for a while but don't want to spend over $1G. What do you guys think of the Dell Inspiron 6000? I can get a new one for $878 after mail in rebate.
