AWESOME CHRISTMAS GIFT
Posted .My wife and I got this as a Christmas gift this year. Before that, we shared a desktop and often would argue about who would use the computer...NO MORE ARGUING! I hate laptop mouse pads and think that they are too difficult to use, so I've disabled mine and hooked up a USB wireless mouse. I really encourage everyone to do this. I wish this came with Microsoft Office instead of Works Suite. I happened to pick up a neighbors wireless signal, so I'm sure it's not secure, so I'm going to Best Buy today to grab a wireless router. I haven't used the camera yet, not sure I understand who or what I would record...I'll look into that. I also like that it is password protected so people can't log on. I wish the keyboard had a full number keyboard like desktop keyboards have on the right. Other than that this computer is very sleek looking and I like the ruberized finish. I wouldn't want any other laptop, however when I'm at home, I do perfer my HP desktop (also from Best Buy). I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU MAKE YOUR DECISION.....

Great Laptop
Posted .I purchased my Dell Inspiron Laptop on 12/11/08 at Best Buy when it was on sale at the time and it has worked flawlessly right out of the box!! Easy to setup although it took some time transferring all of my folders,files,music and photos from my old Desktop computer only because the Vista Easy Transfer software that I bought kept freezing up so I returned it and just transferred them using a USB Flash Drive I had. I was a bit leary about Windows Vista at first since I was use to Windows XP but it works fine after getting use to the new operating system. The internal webcam and mic work great after you figure out how to make it start. Battery life is short but I just usually keep it plugged in anyway.The internal speakers are a bit weak but I have external speakers plugged in which sounds great. All-in all I am very happy with my Dell Inspiron Laptop..

Great buy
Posted .Not a big fan of Intel integrated graphics, but at $600, I couldn't pass up a 250 GB SATA, 3 GB RAM and a 2 GHz Core 2 Duo. I've only had this computer for a day, but I can already tell you it's better than any other laptop I've owned. This is my first Dell laptop, but my wife has owned Dell desktops and they were well-made as well. I'm not crazy about having my headphone jack up front. Using the laptop while lying in bed with my knees up makes it virtually impossible to listen with headphones without hurting the headphone terminal. Good speakers for a laptop, excellent performance and convenience of volume controls right above the keyboard.

2nd laptop for me
Posted .I was price checking Best Buy against some local competitors when I first saw this model. I bought it after comparing this model to a few other ones I saw at BB. the sales person was very helpful and didn't try to sell me the most exspensive laptop. For the money and what I need from a laptop this model rocks! The salesperson talked me in to their basic setup package that re works the RAM and takes off the unecc. programs tohave the computer run faster. I highly recc. these, it was over my budget, but I am glad I splurged on this. I have had no problems in the week I have owned this.

Looks great for the price
Posted .Had been looking out for laptop for a while. Boiled down to Dell and Toshiba (2 of these were under $600.00 price range). Toshiba looked better as it had modem and a better wireless adaptor. Dell had more memory. But this one seems to be a fusion between those 2 and at a price which is $100.00 lesser than them. Thus, if you are not a gaming/entertainment freak and need a laptop purely for personal usage, mailing, chatting and doing small stuff on the internet, then this is the product meant for your. This is not a heavy duty laptop, but a definite value for money!

Better Than studio 15
Posted .This is a pretty good laptop. i got this yesterday and soo far im not disappointed at all! at first i was going to get a dell studio or a HP but after all the bad review i saw about Dell Studios Disk Drive. i decided not to get it. so i went and got this computer. and it really is awesome. everything is great. only bad thing is the glare and the battery life being too short, but overall it's still an awesome computer i suggest you get it. =]

great
Posted .Great cpu, great price all the inputs FOUR usb ports's S-video,hdmi the hard drive space,3 gigs of memory and all these inputs for this price is great.Batt life is fine cpu comes set to max brightness dim it a little it adds an hour.Picked up this cpu an epson 3in1 printer and the trend micro software for $587.(I still use mcafee but my friend needed the trend micro). Even at regular price it's not a bad deal with the performance and the hdmi input.

Nice LapTop
Posted .I got it for $599. Nice laptop for the price. I removed all the junkware. As soon as I booted up, it found my home network. The keyboard feels great. The display is bright when it's plugged in but very dim when running on the battery. You can make it brighter, but it sucks up the battery life. The battery life is only about an hour and 15 minutes. There is a power save mode, but I have not tried it. My biggest gripe is that the 2 USB ports on each side are so close together that you can't use both at the same time. So, in reality you can only have 2 USB devices plugged in at anytime, even though there are 4 USB ports. Did the people at Dell ever try to use all four ports at the same time ?
