Pros: Options Galore, up to 1.2 PIII-M processor, powerful enough against desktops, Eye-Popping Screen, Stylish Cons: Sound/Speakers
Although I am really writing about the latest incarnation of the Inspiron 4xxx line, the 4100, many things apply to the 4000 model as well. The 4000 model in a middle of the line notebook that was powerful enough to be a desktop replacement but much...
Pros: Thin, medium weight, and very powerful Cons: Gets very hot, 1 USB port
The Dell Inspiron 4000 notebook computer combines an extraordinarily powerful processor while maintaining a sleek and medium-weight feel. I will divide my review into 5 sections; each will have a rating out of five stars and at the end will be...
Pros: Looks, Features, Size, Weight -Looks great on paper! Cons: Lots Broke, Dell's Support, Price, Hot on legs,
I purchased a Dell Inspiron 4000 a while ago… It was a Pentium III 850 with SpeedStep to 700Mhz. When I received the laptop, I was very excited. I had an Apple Ibook at the time (a new white small one) and several desktops – I just got the ...
Pros: Lightweight and fairly powerful Cons: Expensive
I recently had the opportunity to test Dell's latest notebook, the ultra-thin Inspiron 4000. Despite weighing only 5 lbs (2.4 kg or so) and being a mere 1.47 inches high, the test system packs quite a punch.
Pros: Light, tough, good-looking, serious performance, great battery life when speedstep optimized Cons: battery life is lousy when set to maximum performance
Dell Inspiron 4000
PIII-800 MHz Intel Processor
128 MB of RAM
20 GB hard drive
14.1" XGA (1024 x 768) Active Matrix Display
ATI Rage 128-bit(!!!) Video with 8MB Video RAM
8x DVD
Extra Battery
Pros: Bright Beautiful Screen Cons: Green mouse knob could become dirty in a few months
Dell has the best laptops for one’s pocket. The Dell Inspiron 4000, averaging around $2000, has the same features of Sony’s top-of-the line VAIO laptops costing $4000. The high resolution LCD is amazing with bright stunning graphics of a flat screen...
Pros: Very Reliable, Good customer service, good battery life, sleek design Cons: Standby mode doesn't work, hand cover color options aren't useful
After having used my antiquated Dell PII-266 desktop for four years, I thought it was time for me to upgrade to something better. What better choice than to get a laptop from the most reliable brand out there: DELL!
Pros: Best value, powerful, reliable, good servicing, customizeable. Cons: Not exciting. OS choice is sometimes limited. Only one USB.
First off, one should choose to buy a Dell because they have great service and the laptops are customizable! Also, Dell provides notebooks with highest processor speeds before any of their competitors. For all the hardware you get, it's a really great...
Pros: Power, weight, versatility, ergonomics Cons: No Geforce2go video card available! Speakers substandard.
Before purchasing this Inspiron 4000, I bought an Inspiron 8000 (read my review). I ended up returning the Inspiron 8000, even though it was excellent, because I decided that I wanted a portable and not a desktop replacement.
Pros: screen resolution, dual mouse controls, can buy refurbished, works out of the box Cons: limited video memory, poor sound, noisy, lack of upgradability, support wait times, support itself
I bought a (DELL refurbished) 4000 last month after succumbing to a big price difference between that model and its competitors from Toshiba and IBM. High review ratings have been a factor as well. Since Dell doesn't sell through regular retail stores...
Pros: Good size/weight, good video card, great price Cons: Many problems led to an exchange, but new one works great
The Dell Inspiron 4000 notebook computer is a medium size machine with a lot of computing power. The color is black, but you can get four different color panels to put on the palm rests and the back of the LCD. It weighs about 6 pounds and is 1.47 inches...
Pros: Fast and packed with great features; Good keyboard Cons: Not too light
Not that I have anything against Apple's Powerbook G4 (well, I do want to complain that it's priced too high), I think that the Inspiron 4000 from Dell Computer Corporation is the best alternative. For the price and all the features that this laptop is...
Pros: Good price, performance, construction Cons: Tinny, weak sound
The time had come for me to invest in a laptop. With all the traveling that I have been doing, and an upcoming relocation to Europe, it was long overdue. My wife had taken over our PC at home, and we both have so many things to do on the computer that...
Pros: Battery life, clear crisp screen, Dell customer support, great price, speed with Win2k is GREAT Cons: Heavier than expected, weak speakers
----------EDIT---------------
Since my last post, I added 256 MB of RAM to bump the total to 384. I also formatted and installed Windows 2000. My dell is unbelievable now... Performance, stability, reliability have increased probably about 70%...
Pros: Big screen with good resolution; very compact and light weight; many different options Cons: Noisy keyboard; tracking pad tends to move your cursor to a different spot when writing
Dell is rumored to have stellar customer service and products that usually outlast most in their competitors. If you read most opinions (or Epinions) on Dell, or if you have owned one of their products, you know these rumors are for the most part true....
Pros: Nice bright screen, fast, light Cons: case could be sturdier, terrible speakers
I'd never been much of a fan of the big computer manufacturers. I much prefer to build my system myself. I get everything I need, nothing I don't, and it's done right. Sadly this isn't a very cost effective option when it comes to laptops. Could it...
Pros: Great deal on a great laptop. Cons: Optional color plastic panels are pretty cheesy, built-in speakers a bit tinny.
This is a great laptop, and I got a great deal on it. As a federal employee, I got a slightly better deal than the one available to the general public, but I still think this computer is a great deal.
Pros: Lightweight, powerful Cons: a bit slow, only available with Windows ME
Recently, I went on a hunt for the perfect laptop. I searched websites, talked to techie friends and read epinions on several kinds of laptops. I decided on the Dell Inspiron 4000 and have been very happy with my choice.
Pros: Thoughtful design, solid, comfortable, good range of options available Cons: Bad graphics, Not so durable, Leasing w/ Dell is a giant pain
Using the Inspiron 4000 is a very interesting experience. Some features strike you immediately as being works of pure genius, and other aspects are profoundly disappointing.
Let's start at the top - Buying the thing. We called Dell Financial...
Pros: Stylish, excellent screen, very fast, good value for money Cons: poor quality integrated speakers, gets quite hot, only 1 USB port
As a student I needed to have a laptop that could be portable and sufficient for all my needs. I chose the Dell Inspiron 4000 because it looked like a well designed product and it was reasonably priced.
Pros: Dell's reputation, solid plastic case, powerful and value Cons: Speakers are very bad, poor battery performance and not as slim and light as expected.
I purchased this laptop for my own use, paid for it myself so I made sure I did my homework before plunking down $2,000 for it. I was looking for a laptop to run the standard Excel, Word, Tax programs, movies and maybe a game or two sometimes. I looked...
Pros: Small, stylish, powerful Cons: Touchpad may not be right for all users
After less than a month in my home, this little beauty has already processed digital photos at a charity fundraiser, produced the first draft of a book, created two sets of business cards, printed 15 sheets of color photos, impressed my parents and made...
Pros: Slim, light and powerful. Very good looking and a bargain price!!! Cons: So far very few (touch wood). Speakers are tinny but that's not important
I have had the Dell INSPIRON 4000 now for a few days and after an anxious two weeks of waiting, i must say that i am very impressed by this little baby.
I bought a slightly above average model (the 4000GX) which has a PIII 850Mhz processor,...
Pros: Power, weight, features Cons: Keyboard, pointer drivers
I did tons of research before buying a laptop for school. I finally got it down to a Dell or an IBM and I went for the Dell because of the price. But since then, I've been very happy that I chose the Dell. I ordered online and the system came to me in...
Pros: screen is vivid and clear, fan is really quiet, customer service is helpful Cons: sound is weak; touchpad is sensitive; only 1 USB; customer service is slow
Ok, first things first. Here are my full specs:
PIII 800 MHz
256 MB RAM
20 GB hard drive
8x DVD drive
56k modem
10/100 network
14.1" SXGA TFT
Windows ME (upgraded to XP)
Pros: Nice touchpad, vibrant screen. Cons: Endless problems, endless disappointment, endless hours on Dell's Tech Support Hotline.
After a week of rigorous research into various midrange laptop models, I purchased a Dell Inspiron 4000. Although most other models offered more visual panache and pizzazz (Compaq Presario and Sony VAIO especially), the Dell's price to feature-content...
Pros: lightweight, thin, suitable price Cons: poor speakers, awkward mouse and mouse keys, poor customer service and tech support
As a graduate school student, I need a laptop that is easy to carry around and re-set up multiple times during the day. My previous laptops were all bulky and heavy. I chose the Dell Inspiron 4000 for its modest weight (a mere 5.2 lbs.) and thickness...
Pros: Reasonably priced.
Fast delivery. Cons: Somewhat heavy.
Does not look great.
My fiance and I are graduate students. As we lived apart and traveled often to meet each other, we decided to buy a laptop for him. This laptop also had to be almost as good as a desktop as this was planned to be his only computer.
Pros: reasonable price, good performance, relative compact, good features (14.1", 600MHz, 128MByte etc.) Cons: you get what you pay for (and a little more)
Laptops are usually not considered cheap and at the same time defy any relationship to high performance to the extreme. The Inspiron is no exception in this regard.
However, I was looking for a home computer I can pay for and one that still...
Pros: Great picture quality, good sound, lightweight. Cons: Tech support, Windows ME, miscellaneous glitches.
I recieved my Inspiron 4000 as a gift. It is the 700 Mhz Pentium III, with the large capacity 8 cell battery, internal CD rom (interchangeable with a disk drive that also came with it), 10 GB hard drive, came with Windows ME loaded as well as lots of...
Pros: perfect size, durable, reliable, light weight, great screen, ... Cons: only 1 media bay
This was the first Dell that I've ever owned. I used to buy IBM ThinkPads only because of the "special deals" that my school had with them. But I've been very, very happy with the Inspiron 4000.
Pros: Good graphics, pretty light Cons: Noisy CD drive, average battery life
I'll start off by saying I'm not too computer literate and looked at computers basically for price. I purchased this Dell as my first "owned" computer. I'd always been provided a laptop from work. I'd previously used a Compaq and an IBM Thinkpad -...
Pros: Sturdy machine; manageable weight Cons: Drive bay never catches; parts tend to fail; never shuts down properly
I've now owned a Dell Inspiron 4000 for nearly a year. In that time, I have come to suspect that Dell has slipped in it's attention to reliability and dependability. This is likely the last Dell machine I'll by.
Pros: Light, sharp display, very handy, versatile Cons: Sound not quite loud enough at maximum volume, occasional pause/skip with DVD
First, I think Dell really hits the mark with their website. They make it so easy to get exactly what you want, how you want it. All you have to do is go to www.dell.com and choose the model and options that you want. It will give you the price in...
Pros: Small, light, powerful, versatile, upgradeable. Cons: Only one quicklaunch button
I recently bought myself a Dell 4000 computer, with the intent of using it throughout my college career as computer, and also as a portable DVD player for long flights and other travel. What I got was a package so far and beyond my expectations that it...
Pros: Fast, customizable, good web support Cons: Terrible phone support, not enough ports, ships with Windows ME
Customizing my Inspiron 4000 was really exciting. The great thing about it is how customizable it is. 128MB or 256MB of RAM? 10GB or 20GB hard Drive? Dell really gives you the choice. Not only does this customizability save you money by eliminating...
This is the first laptop I have purchased, I own a Gateway desktop which I have been happy with, but I did alot of research online about different brands and I decided Dell would be the best deal!
The computer I purchased has a
700 mhz pentium...
Pros: Attractive, light weight Cons: Poor design, tech support not knowledgeable
My Inspiron 4000 is a 800 MHz Pentium III, I've had it for 1 year. Some of the benefits are that it is light-weight, yet the screen is large enough that I use it as my primary computer.
Often, the system sticks and the only way to reset it is...
Pros: light weight, large screen, durable, easy use, DVD Cons: Short battery life, speaker quality
I recently purchased a Dell Insprion 4000. I had researched the market for about 4 weeks prior to making my purchase. I was looking for a computer that was rather light in weight, with a minimum 14' screen with a trusted brand name that I could rely on...
Pros: Can't think of even ONE! Cons: WORST tech support, COMPLETELY unreliable, VERY unstable, Poor design, Junk Parts
I was starting a business and needed a laptop to travel so I spent a nice amount of time researching different brands etc. Spoke to some family members who have used Dell computers and thought why not, seemed like it would be a reliable brand - boy was...
Pros: Looks good. Price is good. Cons: Dell's support is the worst bar none.
As a network administrator, I have deal with my fair share of hardware and computer manufactures in purchasing, support, and as an end user. (Compaq, Toshiba, HP to name a few.) My experience with Dell has been the worst consumer experience of my life...
Pros: Fast delivery, Good technical support Cons: No hard-copy computer manual
I purchased the Dell Inspiron 4000 a few months ago. I was amazed at the fast delivery ...it was ordered online Monday night and it was delivered Wednesday. Overall, it seems to be working well. However, every now and then I get a system error or...
Pros: light, affordable, quick, beautiful display, great extended warranty. Cons: itty bitty speakers sounds toooo low for my taste.
after over a month of research online and in stores, comparing prices and features and reading reviews in epinions on all diffrent notebooks, i almost went crazy :). i finally decided on a dell inspiron 4000. i got the notebook equipped with an intel p3...
Pros: Big, bright screen, fast, large keyboard. Cons: Ethernet/modem ports on right side get in way of ext. mouse cord.
This is my fifth notebook PC. I think it's probably my best, too. The screen is large and bright, the keyboard is roomy. If you like the ThinkPad style pointer stick, this one has it, along with a touchpad (what I use). I went fully loaded with this one....
Pros: Fast, nice screen, plenty of space Cons: Sorta heavy...but not much
I've had my 4000 for about 2 months now, and it is a purchase I relish. My only gripe is that it's a little heavier than I thought, but it's not bad enough to make me return it. I don't know about Dell's tech support yet--but then, I haven't had any...
Pros: Looks Great,power was good,nice port options. Cons: A lot of useless files.
I'm currently typing from a Dell Inspiron 4000 and so far,it has performed almost flawlessly.When I got it I quickly unpacked it and started it up.I was surprised at all the stuff that came in just the two boxes.When I turned it on,a cute little cartoon...
Pros: good price with nice features, Dell Service Cons: getting relatively Hot
I bought this Laptop (Inspiron 4000, 20GB, 128 MB, Celeron 800, 3 yr service, 14.1" TFT, Win ME, DVD) for a bit over $1,200. Immediately after I received it, I upgraded the memory to 512 MB (2*256 MB from Crucial.com for a total ~$89), the OS to Windows...
Pros: Decent price, good specs Cons: None really, except lots of competition, so make sure you shop around
I've had this laptop for about half a year now. It hasn't given me any problems. I upgraded the RAM a couple of months ago, and it was extremely easy to do.
The price of this machine is quite competitive, but I got it during one of dell's...
Pros: Light, Large Screen, Battery life, Features Cons: lightweight chassis, DVD-ROM sporadic
This is the best laptop I have ever owned and I have owned a few.
Battery: When used properly, can last up to 3 hours on one charge. Good enough to watch a DVD on an airplane ride.
Screen: Big and Bright.
I can't say enough about this...
Pros: looks, size, easy to use, compatable, a lot of options for harware and software. Cons: Gets very hot on the bottom, battery life, sound.
I bought this computer a few months ago from the factory. I went with dell for it's qaulity and service. I use the comuter for games, school, Internet, movies, and my cell phone can connect to the computer. One peice of harware that I like is the...
Pros: Attractive screen but thin bezel and flimsy back make it damage-prone. No other pro's. Cons: Unreliable, poor quality parts, poor workmanship, faulty wiring. Price barely competes with other mail-orders.
I bought a "new" P3 900Mhz from the Dell on-line store, but apparently I got some other dissatisfied customer's return. The unit I received was dusty, finger-smudged, scratched and obviously second-hand. Very little works: the modem keeps cutting out and...
First off, I've sent in my Dell Inspiron 4000 4 times in the past 4 months for the LCD, mouse, mouse button, hard drive, and battery latch. The laptop is of very little use to me when it's always at the depot getting fixed. And they absolutely refuse...
Pros: good price, fast, reliable Cons: hard to get used to mouse button placement
I purchased this computer for school and was looking for the cheapest laptop that could be had with the right specs. Well, Dell was recommended by friends and turned out to be a very good deal.
When I actually received my computer I realized...
Pros: None really, other than the price, but you pay for what you get Cons: horrible quality control, the worst "support" I have ever had to deal with
I bought this for the price, and I guess I paid for what I got. Horrible support, that will not address any of your problems in a timely matter. Nor will they solve any of your problems. Poor quality standards are about the best way to describe this...
Pros: used to be good, not any more (quality) Cons: very poor quality notebook
I bought an inspiron 4000 on 3/27/2001.
In the past year, I used it fewer than 30 times.
In Feb, I noticed that strange sound from the place
(in the left side back) where the AC adapter
is plugged into the computer (the sound is like...
Pros: Very good out of the box. Cons: Poor answers and resolutions from customer service. Bad Depot Service
I had a problem with my 4000 Inspiron, which was under the three year depot service contract. First calls to service seemed like a guessing game. Problem was first diagnosed as corrupt O/S, and a "dirty load" was suggested as a fix. Cure didn't work....
