My Latitude C810 (same as the Inspiron 8100 except for the
BIOS and some plastics) has a 15" UXGA screen, too.

My original Inspiron 8000 was a 15" SXGA+.  When I built this
Latitude I went with the UXGA.

Speaking of the Latitude vs. Inspiron, I converted my I8000
to a C800 so I could use the Latitude docking stations.  The
Latitude docks have IR built-in, and the C-Dock and C-Dock II
have PCI slots (one on the C-Dock, two on the C-Dock II) and
SCSI.
