Inspiron 8000 with Linux -- great!

by j_cricket , Oct 01 '08
Pros: Easy installation of Kubuntu Linux (32-bit) on Dell Inspiron 8000.
Cons: None.
This computer came pre-installed with Windows 2000 Pro, which is not a terrible OS. It is slow, however.Still, like all things Windows, it eventually got hit with something. A virus, a trojan, a "malicious update" installed by Microsoft itself. ...

Same Old Windows...

by veriria , Sep 07 '01
Pros: Endless options, features, all too numerous to count in 15 words.
Cons: The internet explorer error I encountered when I first turned it on...
We just got our computer in the mail, not three days ago. Its specifically, a Dell Inspiron 8100. The only gripe about it I have yet, is the fact that it has Windows ME on it, but I hope to remedy that soon enough. The first time I turned it on and...

Cons: None.
I bought my I8K a year ago, and I love it! I have had no problems with it, and I have been giving it hell. I have never seen a computer (except its brother, a DEll XPS T750) work so hard.

Immobile Mobile Laptop

by anselm , Sep 09 '01
Pros: Mobile Game Play & a cracking looking computer.
Cons: Well... size and Moore's Law
Boy did I research this one with its price tag. Was it worth it?

Well firstly Moore's Law ( a founder member of Intel): Every 18 months the speed of processors will double while the price will half.

In other words if you wait 18...

The Inspiron has it all!!!

by gveittome2 , Jun 28 '01
Pros: Ease of use, unmatched tech support, great options
Cons: expensive
Dell's Inspiron 8000 has yet to be matched by other computer manufacturers. With its wide range of peripherals and input devices, the Inspiron 8000 burns all other competition. Right from the boot, the Inspiron comes with an S-video output to connect...

Refurbished doesn't mean used

by VaMarty , May 28 '01
Pros: It's a lot more powerful than my previous desktop.
Cons: It's a bit heavy like everyone has said.
While the average price listed for this model is about $2800, I bought my Inspiron 8000 from the Dell Refurbished website and got the laptop(with 128MbRAM, 10G HD and P3-600) plus the advanced port replicator and a 17inch monitor for under $1700.

Inspiron 8000

by alittlesmurf , Jun 09 '02
Pros: Customizable, works very well, Dell has excellent customer service
Cons: Might run into technical problems sometimes, a little bit heavier compared to some laptops
This laptop is definitely one of the best decisions I've made. Since it was customizable, I was able to choose exactly what I wanted, and what I didn't need. I ran into a problem with the display screen a little bit after I purchased my laptop, but...

Dell Inspiron 8000

by boote67 , Sep 19 '01
Pros: speed, performance, compatibility with other Dell laptops
