Hello Team,
I am also looking at a Dell Precision Quad Core laptop, again I appreciate
everyon'e feedback, as I am planning to catch up with some lab work, as we
are migrating our infrastructure to Cisco core switches. I found a
reasonable deal I think on Dell's website for around $2600.
Company would pay for it.
Sincerely,
John
