Notebook Odyssey, Dell coupon, and Latitude E6400 review

The first one was how much to spend. I could have gotten a cheap laptop that would have done 99% of the tasks I performed. Or, a high-quality, mid-priced computer. I consider the T61 I had such a computer. I could have had another T61 or the thicker R61 at the Lenovo outlet for under $600.00. Or, a very nice computer like the Dell Precision M6400 or Dell XPS. Concerning things tangible, I place my laptop right under my family and above my car and pets in importance so I wasn't going to get the cheapest computer. My financial situation prevented a luxury purchase. Mid-level it was. I entered with some non-negotiables: 1. 14" Matte (non-glare) screen. This is the right size for me. I don't understand the Rube Goldberg fascination with shininess. It's distracting in all but the perfect conditions, like watching a DVD in the d...
