Pros: Well made, reliable....and a gorgeous 15 inch screen Cons: The Pentium III fan is noisy
Okay, true confessions time again. I've been touting Toshiba laptops for several years to my friends and neighbors. But a big reason that I was so favorable towards them was the fact that they were provided to me by the corporate purchasing department...
Pros: Configure it any way you want Cons: Crappy construction quality, bad design, poor ergonomics
Fellow Epinionators....I may be the first person to have a strong bias against Dell notebook machines, but let me tell you, this Inspiron 5000 really leaves alot to be desired. Initially, I thought the first machine we got was simply a lemon, but the...
Pros: Light, Sleek, Nice Display, You Can Customize Cons: Desktops are cheaper
I bought my Dell Inspiron 5000 notebook two months ago, and already you can get a bigger screen, more memory and who knows what else for the same amount I paid ($2300) - but that's the way the computer cookie crumbles.
Pros: ease of setup, quality, speed, great features, replaces desktop clunker Cons: service line wait time, curser control (same as all laptops)
As a heavy computer and internet user, I have been on the lookout for flexibility and power in my home computer. Up to now, this was in a desktop solution. With the purchase of the Dell Inspiron 5000 it solved the problem of desktop clutter, portability...
Pros: powerful, large screen even at 14", lighter than the 7500 Cons: pricey, sound could be better, need more HD space
Hello. I'm an MIS Coordinator and graphic designer, so my decision to buy a Dell 5000 came with a lot of research to make sure the computer could meet my needs.
I purchased a Dell computer, specifically, after researching user reviews and...
Pros: Speedy, great Dell reputation, overall great notebook performance and value. Cons: Not rugged, bad sound, limited graphics capabilities.
When my last computer died on me, I did a little dance of joy. It was a 1997 Monorail with a 150 PI, 48 megs of RAM, and a dual-scan screen (it wasn't a notebook- it was a small scale desktop like the Gateway Astro). I've been looking forward to an...
Pros: Great value, nice build quality, Dell warranty and support Cons: No Win2000 support (yet)
The Inspiron 5000 is an excellent laptop. I have the 15" XGA screen with the Celeron 450 and with 32MB (I upgraded it to 160MB through www.crucial.com), the total came just under $2000 and for the price, nothing comes close to this for value. ...
Pros: The screen, The Power, Quality, Warranty and The Screen Cons: Some minor design quibbles
After too long dealing with an old refurbished pentium 166 Thinkpad, that had a dingy small screen, and couldn't display more than 256 colors at full screen size I decided to treat myself.
After scouring the market, reading reviews I discounted my...
They did it. They put both a CD and floppy in the 5000. I have been waiting for this. Too many people have complained too many times about the cable and the rebooting to swap drives. Thank you, Dell.
Pros: Excellent support, solidly built design Cons: Relatively noisy hard-drive, a rattling left track-pad button
I have owned Dell I5K for about 2 weeks now and quite satisfied with it. I decided to purchase the computer due to the reputation and excellent customer support I have heard and read from countless sources. I had a little bit of trouble of ordering the...
Pros: It works. Cons: Faulty parts, poor upgrade capability, horrible customer service/tech support
I deeply regret having ever purchased my Dell Inspirion 5000. Out of the box, the floppy drive did not work and the sound card was not operative. The video capabilities are far below what the phone sales person had promised and are not upgradeable....
Pros: Good price Cons: Bad tech support, bad design, numerous hardware conflicts
DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE! From the day I got the computer I was having toons of problems with the sound card. It was failing diagnostics and interfering with my Xircom card somehow. I called tech support multiple times, and felt like I knew more than...
I am fairly impressed by this Inspiration 5000 machine, I needed a laptop for work and other things. I have always thought of Dell as a name brand product with great quality. I have owned this machine for a little over 3 weeks now and it hasnt failed to...
