After 40 minutes on the phone with hold music hell, I hung up and went for dinner. Maybe next time.

My wife's looking for a relatively lightweight laptop whose main job will be running PowerPoint. No need for fast CPUs or big screens. She says she wants built-in wireless Ethernet and a built-in CD burner, so that eliminates the subnotebook class that I like for myself. She also seems set on wanting a PC, not a Mac.

The Dell Inspiron 600m roughly fits the bill. Any ideas on other possibilities?
