Hi Kevin,

I've been happy with my Dell 1800MP. Native resolution is 1024x768 and
it interpolates to 1600x1200. I've had it since new and have only about
100 hours on it but I've toted it everywhere(including NBLUG meetings)
and it's always been good. Lots of different input configurations.

You can get low mileage used ones at Dell Financial Services for pretty
cheap. I've had great luck with the computers I've bought from them.
They are lease returns:
