Pros: Excellent processor speed, portability
Cons: Lack of RAM, low speaker quality
The Inspiron 8100 is a great notebook that eliminates any need for a desktop and still gives you the portability of a notebook. Dell always has a promotion going and with mine I received a free upgrade to a 15" display, a PALM M100, and a $100 rebate....

Pros: Fast, portable, lots of options, warranty, nice screen
Cons: Puts a dent in your pocket/big investment (but worth it)
Dell Inspiron 8100

by LRGuis Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jan 09 '02
Pros: large screen, virtually ready out of the box, wireless net work available
Cons: gets quite warm underneath after use
Okay, I didn't really flunk Computer Science in college, but it was certainly not my major either. Why do I tell you this? Primarily so you read my review as written by a pretty normal household user. I'm a mom, a stay-at-home one at that. I use...
