I was given the task of getting someone's new Dell laptop online last night. Given the really awful default setup of XP, I would certainly avoid a Dell laptop.
The desktop has so much bundled junk, internet trials, anti-virus, Dell support control panel etc.. etc..
Bootup to usable desktop was of the order of 2-3 minutes on a brand new laptop. This is even before XP has started to slow down as it typically does.
