Which Dell Laptop best for Small Business Use?

[Sky Aisling]

I am helping a friend switch to Linux from MS. She runs a single person business.
She probably will need both XP and Ubuntu on same machine as she uses a cad program called 'Prolandscape' ver 13 by Drafix.
She also will need a 'Quicken' or Quicken-like application.

Which Dell laptop, if any, would you recommend we look at?

Thank you for your consideration of the question.

PS - Suggestions for other brand laptops gladly considered.

This question resolved by ordering a machine from ZaReason.com.
We ordered the Strata 3660 with beefed up options.

We are happy with the service we received from ZaReason, Earl and Cathy Malmrose.
They build machines for Ubuntu systems.
