Yep, and you can find used Latitudes or whatever their current equivalent is, usually with some half-way decent dedicated Quadro or FirePro GPU, for really good prices on used markets. I can usually find corporate liquidators who have tons of them for $300-600 for something recent and decent. The older Latitudes like the D830 are tanks too; user (or IT-department)-serviceable everything, parts cheap on eBay if you need, module bay batteries, magnesium chassis, metal hinges, good keyboard, no stupid clicky trackpad...they got a lot right.

Swap in an SSD and max out the RAM and they're awesome linux workhorses.

My MacBook Pro is on its last legs and I've been thinking about replacing it with a Dell Linux machine.

Any tips on how you've gone about finding said corporate liquidators?
