Yes, I've heard the hardware support is pretty good on most Dell
models. IBM/Lenovo Thinkpads have worked really well for me as well,
and they're the only thing that I can really consider because no other
manufacturer makes laptops with TrackPoints. It's a pity that Toshiba
stopped doing that, they were at least an IBM alternative. The only
problem is having to download firmware for the wireless card--which
seems to be endemic to all wireless cards now.

That too. IME, HP's computers are prone to stupid problems, and HP-UX
was a joke. They should've stuck to printers and calculators since they
can get those things right.
