[SATLUG] Dell Linux Machines Have Arrived

[Sean Carolan]

If anyone purchases one of these Dell laptops please do let us know
how well the ACPI works.  This is one area that sucks in both Windows
and Linux.  The only laptop I have ever used that has perfectly
working ACPI functions is my wife's MacBook pro.  I would be willing
to pay extra for a laptop that would properly go to sleep and wake up
as it's supposed to.

It's very frustrating to have several windows and programs open, only
to find that your laptop won't wake up properly after a hibernate or
sleep, and you have to hard-reboot with the power button.

Yes, this is one of my pet peeves about laptops in general.  Why even
bother to offer these features if nobody can seem to get them working
correctly.
