I bought hundreds of Dell E420s, neat little systems with a Core 2 Duo, 1.2 ghz. For the time, it was a great traveler PC - lightweight, and the high-capacity battery stuck out the front, making for a makeshift keyboard rest.

I had one that kept coming back because people reported it was too slow. It had the same stickers and config as the others, but when I ran CPU-Z, realized it had a 1.0 ghz Core 2 Solo. I'd never *heard* of that chip.

It explained why the battery lasted so long. I kept it around, Dell sent me a properly spec'ed D420 to replace it and didn't ask for a return.
