Pros: It's a Dell...(that used to mean something)! Cons: Poor tech support and customer service.
I have purchased over 5 Dell desktop systems for my office within the past few years and have been pretty impressed with their operation and dependability. The Inspiron 8100 notebook is another matter.
I should have returned the notebook...

Pros: Price. Speed (GeForce 2 Go). Easy to customize hardware and easy ordering. Cons: Can't customize software. No full version of XP included.
This is the first laptop I've owned (as opposed to used) and I must say I'm loving it. This is the first laptop I've *ever* been impressed by in terms of speed. Both desktop apps and games run extremely well on this machine (though the kudos go to...

Pros: very good display Cons: battery life is short
Dell 8100 has it all: features, and a high price. It is also a bit large weighing in at eight pounds. However, 8100 is a top performer. It really delivers especially the high end video feature. It also comes with a high resolution fifteen inch...

Pros: Great Laptop, Fast, Ton of Memory Cons: Didn't wait long enough to get the Pentium 4
This is my second Dell... first was a desktop but that's another review. I paid a fairly decent price, got a 15 Gigabyte upgrade on the memory, a free scanner and 2 day shipping, DVD ROM, CD BURNER, and interchangeable Floppy Drive and second CD ROM....

Pros: This machine can easily serve as a complete desktop replacement. Cons: As yet, none.
The order was placed with Dell on September 10th, the computer arrived September 24th. Don’t depend on their tracking system because it is woefully inefficient. According to the tracking page the computer spent from the 18th to the 24th just in...

Pros: Large HD available, good graphics card avaialable, good waranty Cons: Easily brakeable, uses weak system of ME
The all so raved about Dell 8100 is not quite as amazing as most people would think. I am a student at Pine Crest Prepatory school and I recently bought a Dell computer becuase a laptop is required. Normally I buy Gateway computers but most of my...

Pros: Awesome video, fast machine, Dell service Cons: Weight
I received my new Dell 8100 Inspiron with the following hardware: PIII 1.2GHZ, 512MB RAM, 30GB HDD, 64MB Radeon video card. This is absolutely the best laptop I've ever used. In the past, I've owned a Sony VAIO and a T22 Thinkpad, but this Dell...

Pros: Fast, Nice Screen, Great Options and Double Mouse (track-pad & pointer). Cons: VERY HEAVY, Terrible Tech Support & high price tag.
This unit is a great laptop that is an awesome on-the-road desktop replacement. I bought this mostly for note taking, DVD playing and games. I had no problems with this so far, and was happy with all the options. The support options are great. There is...

Pros: Lots of features Cons: Customer support; flimsy design; Windows XP way too bulky
Years ago I became a fan of Dell. Myself, family, and friends, all bought Dells because of the terrific customer support. Even though they were a little more pricey, it was worth it. That has all changed. Getting through to a customer...

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: Relatively fast laptop
Great mobile video card
Plethora of Ports Cons: Case / Construction is weak compared to previous models
I’ll raise you!
I recently upgraded from a Dell Inspiron 7000 that I purchased well over 3 years ago - a direct testament to Dell's product longevity! Since then, I have ONLY purchased my computers from Dell. While at times I have had my...

Pros: Great value, fast, outstanding performance Cons: Very heavy, not as 'solid' as a ThinkPad
I've used many notebooks at work over the years, most of them IBM ThinkPads (and have had very good experiences). When I had a need to purchase my own notebook, however, the ThinkPads gave me a severe case of 'sticker shock' and I looked carefully at...

by rabbit09 , Dec 04 '01
Pros: reasonable price, name brand Cons: Mediocre screen, heavy
please note, I sold my sony Vaio fg180 to get the 8100. I wanted a faster machine to do voice recognition. I also thought the 32mb video card would allow me to view video better than the Sony.
The screen is NOT as good as my old machine, it...
