Adding my experience, a lot has to do with which Dell line you get.
Like many companies, there's a big difference between their
light-and-cheap line, their multimedia-gaming line, and their business
line.  I always buy from the business line, and have been very happy
with the construction (and full linux compatibility).  For instance, the
business line has a metal chassis instead of a plastic one, and are more
powerful.  I have a Latitude D820 and my wife has a D830.
