I'd buy another one....

by jmdyson , Nov 24 '99
Pros: Screen, performance, did I mention the screen?
Cons: Weight, shutdown/sleep feature
I've had my Inspiron 7000 for almost a year now and I'm extremely pleased with it. The main reason I bought it was the screen size...15.1 is awesome! I was going to buy a docking station, but didn't bother once I'd seen/used the screen. I _still_ get...

It's very good

by yoley73 , Aug 01 '00
Pros: power, speed
Cons: ugly, heavy
Dear computer users,

Dell's inspiron is a very good machine for anyone who needs a powerful station with portability. It really is more of a desktop that you can carry for a short period of time rather than one of those slim laptops you carry...

Love it! ...but you can't take it with you.

by jmmatlock , Dec 05 '99
Pros: Easy to use, holds up well
Cons: HEAVY!!!
Ok, I'll admit that I wanted a slim, sleek Sony Vaio. My husband wanted "more power" and bought me this Dell Inspiron 7000 for my birthday. Forget Sony. I love my computer. It's fast, easy to use, easy to understand (I am normally not a...

Like carrying a brick around

by piyo , Apr 27 '01
Pros: Big screen! Big screen!
Cons: Heavy as a brick, Windows bugs abound, key popped out, some design stupidities
It's a Pentium II with a fast processor, I can't complain about that. But what sets apart the Dell Inspiron 7000 from any other Pentium II laptop?

I've had this model for 1 1/2 years, and I use it for law school. The weight problem arose: I...

Flying Brick

by benha , Oct 08 '99
Pros: Fast, great display
Cons: Poor form factor, heavy
My company just bought me a new Inspiron 7000. Quite an interesting machine.

Let me begin by saying that the single best thing about this machine is the display. I was a little skeptical that I'd be happy using a laptop for any kind of...

Dell-iscous

by cruz610 , Jan 24 '00
Pros: Excellent Package
Cons: Slow Arrival
When I first purchased this product, the only negative comment I had was the amount of time it took to arrive. This is by far one of the absolute best products you can buy!! It has blazing speed, a super graphics card (for a laptop), a 15 inch screen, a...

Quite a bad experience with Dell

by dkuatuci , Jan 25 '00
Pros: Huge crisp screen, long battery life.
Cons: Too heavy, Freezes, gets too hot
I have owned this Dell Inspiron for less than a year and I can't believe how many problems I have had with it. I'm not sure if it is software or what. First of all, the laptop freezes up on me quite often. Which really makes me mad. I paid so much money...

Great Laptop for the Price!

by mattyboy , Nov 10 '99
Pros: Fast, Cheap, Big Screen
Cons: Heavy
I've found my Inspiron to be extremely useful and reliable. I'm a software developer and I've used tons of computers and laptops, but for the money, the Inspiron was it. The large screen option (15.1") was outstanding and I've basically got all I...

Pros: dvd-floppy combo, true desktop replacement, large LCD, great performance
Cons: heavy, large, sound card issues
I've had my Inspiron 7000 for three years now. I got it just before my freshman year in college. The laptop has performed well during the time, and I have mostly good things to say about it.

Pros: CUSTOMER SERVICE
Cons: Its a computer?
I love this Dell. It is a 7000 w/128mb ram and DVD. I had a Inspiron 3500 and this is what makes Dell head and shoulders above the rest. The 3500 was messing up. AFter they couldn't fix it, I sent it back one more time. They lost it!!!!! They sent...

Pros: Speed, display, comfort, customizability
Cons: Size, weight
Going into my senior year in college, I realized that I didn't want to be cooped up in my room all year as I wrote my thesis. I wanted to move around to different libraries, to take notes and write. I invested in a Dell Inspiron 7000 and I've been...

Pros: powerful, reliable, great visual capabilities, many options for upgrade
Cons: Need more hardrive room, needs more ram, touch pad is shady
The Dell Inspiron 7000 is one of the best laptops that i have seen that are out on the market. You don't find yourself saying what the... every five seconds when you try to save something anymore. There is a spot for a printer and a mouse...

by OnePointZero , Jul 20 '00
Pros: Most features - screen, keyboard, looks
Cons: Size (not for petite ladies), large screen can be fragile
As other opinions state, the Dell Inspiron 7000 is a great computer. Although carrying it around can sometimes feel like participating in a "World's Strongest Man (or Woman)" heat, the screen size, looks and general features make it all worth...

Expensive Rock, but Powerful

by ndgolfr , Nov 04 '99
Pros: Huge screen , powerful, fast
Cons: Expensive, freezes a lot
My Inspiron 7000 is exactly what I thought it would be, only with a few drawbacks. First it weighs about as much as my car. That is a sacrafice to be paid for having the extra large screen but it is very heave to carry around compared to others I have...

Dell Inspiron 7000

by pacfact , Nov 20 '01
Pros: Reliable, superior technical support
Cons: Heavy , rigid and poor touch pad sensitivity
This laptop is very easy to use. Dell has given very clear instructions for the user. The first weakness noticed was the poor sensitivity of the touchpad. I use a mouse whenever I can. Also, it was unfortunate the Intel Pentium II CPU that came with the...

Pros: sometimes actually works.

I've had laptops before at various jobs, and have generally been happy with them. Once I had a Toshiba laptop that I loved. No matter what I did with my Toshiba it worked - wind, snow, sleet, rain, that Toshiba was like a dog in the arctic - always there...

My cute little BRICK
by garfield135 ,Apr 19 '06
Pros: BIG SCREEN! Nice body design and runs good with XP and Wordperfect.
Cons: Heavy,low ram upgrade level,and no dvd(on mine.)
I had this laptop for half a year and I like it. The specs are as follows:

P2

128 ram

7.65 hd

15.1 in screen

heavyweight champ


These have a tendency to lose their left hinge cover and mine has a tough to press ''Qq'' but its a good basics laptop. You should consider getting more ram and a external hard drive(i dont have that yet) but it CAN PLAY MOVIES ON CD DRIVE WITH DivX!!!!!
