Desktop replacement ?

by magiccrab , May 23 '00
Pros: The screen size and graphical performance
Cons: Size (but it is supposed to be a replacement desktop.
Well to start off, I’ve owned my Inspiron for about a month now and am thrilled with it. However some of the other reviews I’ve read about it have been slightly misleading about it. Many seem to argue that the price is ridiculous, saying that $3500 is...

You Must Be Picky About What You Buy

A Desktop Replacement (And Just As Heavy)

by DavidGriffiths , Mar 06 '00
Pros: Fast and powerful, excellent graphics adapter, big screen
Cons: Heavy, pricey, optimistic battery life, touchpad is no mouse-replacement
A couple of weeks ago, I was shipped a box the size of a 15 inch monitor, and just as heavy. Inside was my new work machine - a Dell Inspiron 7500.

Due to the amount of travel I now do, this laptop seems to be an excellent alternative to my...

R450VT: Good enough for me

by digamma , Jan 07 '00
Pros: screen size and resolution, battery life
Cons: weight, dicey touch pad

Though not for the frequent flier, the Inspiron 7500 makes good use of it's large size

by pyunker , Jan 10 '00
Pros: Huge display, 1400 x 1050 resolution, MegaBay, MediaBay
Cons: Not for the everyday traveler
Dell advertised the Inspiron 7500 Series as a powerful notebook that could actually replace your desktop PC. I'd surely agree with this statement after studying some speed, benchmark, capacity, and option information. But just as you wouldn't want to...

Perfect Desktop Substitute

by SEMAJ , Jan 08 '00
Pros: Excellent desktop substitute
Cons: Work out with your weights, this bugger is heavy
When searching for the perfect substitute for my office Dell desktop computer, I scoured the discount retailers in a vain attempt. Most of the offerings available didn't have the features that I require for mobile computing. That is, until I compared...

A great but heavy machine

by dbsav , Feb 25 '00
Pros: High performance, sturdy
Cons: Heavy
This is by far the best laptop I have ever owned. The 15" display is wonderful - no need to hook up to a monitor. The machine is very fast and the 128MBs of RAM allows me to open a number of applications at the same time. I tend to take my laptop...

The Inspiron is Inspiring!

by tke1081 , May 03 '00
Pros: Huge Screen, Zip Drive Available, Long Lasting Battery, DVD Available, CD/DVD drive and 3.5 floppy combo drive
Cons: Heavy and Bulky
The Dell Inspirion is an excellent laptop. I have been using an Inspiron for over a year now. I used a 7000 model from April 99 to October 99. The 7000 model is almost the same as the 7500. I have been using the 7500 since November of 99.

Already Obsolete

by jyuen1 , Nov 30 '99
Pros: 4 spindle
Cons: Bulky, heavy, old design
I ordered one of this before I found out that Dell's OEM (Compal) have already replace this model with a newer one. The I7000/7500 are all based on the old Compal N30i chassis. While very versatile and powerful, these laptop are thick (2.7") and...

Not all that glitters is gold!

by nirmana , Apr 22 '00
Pros: Reliable manufacturer
Cons: Support desk/factory unreliable
This product has received great reviews - hence my reason for purchasing it. But within two weeks it was back with Dell Support. Basically Dell said the internal modem had become "loosened". Consequently, for some reason Dell Support wiped out...
