    Seems like a good deal to me, although it's too early for my head to calculate exchange ratios.

    Home Support - sucks. I've never had a problem understanding them, but they have memorized a manual and repeat, verbatim.

    Business Support - superb. I never wait more than 5-10 minutes, talk to someone in the US, and they've helped me do EVERYTHING, many not covered (like installing new drives/processors). You have to buy a business machine to get this, though.

    I've had a 5150 (single core) for about 7 months, no problems.
    I'd also suggest waiting for the Duo 2 Cores - they should be out now and are supposed to be a nice improvement.

    Ultimately, having some tech support is better than none, imho, which you'd get when you build your own.
