I have a Lenovo T400 thinkpad with cam, fingerprint reader and all the fast stuff and big memory. Fine so far six months later. i turn off updates and normally never have problems...Don't believe in them. It has very good reviews. Dells have there choice of problems. Dell XPS i will would never buy or a Inspiron 1510 i think it's called. i've heard of boards going out repeatedly and then another person had a big issue and Dell walked them thru a process that screwed up the whole thing and she lost everything which then it needed completely formatted and Windows reinstalled. they were both under a year old. never going back to Dell.
