Luke,
if you do decide to go the DELL route, last time I checked, I had several friends at DELL all of whom could offer some employee discounts (obviously, not as good as the Mexico deal recently publicised). Let me know if I should send a query out to them to see if I can get an employee discount code for you.
Regards
Russell

Hi all,
FYI they did not answer to my request since i live in France i guess, cool machines anyway !
unfortunately the LCD resolutions max out at 1920x1080. after having experienced a 2560x1600 LCD, where i can get *TEN* full 80x56 xterms side-by-side on one screen, or *two* web browsers full-screen 1200x800 next to *four* 80x56 xterms, or can do two 80x56 xterms and then openscad a whopping 1800x1600... or PCB CAD development 1200x1600 side-by-side with a PDF datasheet at again 1200x1600 instead of being forced to flip between the two.... *and it's portable*...
... once you've experienced that kind of development environment, a 1920x1080 LCD is a *MASSIVE* step backwards.
... can't do it, frank :)
System76 are about the only folk I can think of - they might be able to help because their bigger machines go up to 4k.
Otherwise, it's down to plugging in a monitor and keyboard when you get somewhere ...
All the best
