Dell actually has great support. They'll cross ship parts and everything. So will Acer.
Price of a replacement screen might be more than its worth, really depends on how old the notebook is. Like you said, you can spend under 1000 bucks on a new one, and get what you need, with a new warranty.

Yeah, it's the warranty and bulit-in Wi-Fi that make me think about just getting a new one.
The new screen of ebay runs around $200.00, via a 3rd party company it's around $400.00.
It's ain Inspiron either 2600 or 2650, has a 1.6mhz celeron cpu and 256mb memory... I'd also want to upgrade the memory, so by the time I'm done screen and memory, I might just as well spend a few bucks more and get something new... I just hate spenidng the money if I don't have to.
That and I just got an Axim, so I probably should push the limits of this thing a little bit before buying a laptop, only issue I've run into so far, is when I VPN into work, the screen of our database program won't "re size" to fix the axim screen, so I either have to keep scrolling or just see 1/2 or 1/4 of a screen when I'm typing.
I hate the idea of having to carry both, but they really serve two different purposes, unless I can find a way to do the database program on the Axim, then I will have little need for a laptop (I think...)
