| jakew8's Full Review: Dell Inspiron 2200 PC Notebook |
This laptop has amazing specs for what it costs. We got:
14" display
1.4 GHz Celeron M
512 MB RAM
30 GB Hard Drive
CD-RW/DVD Drive
Internal B/G Wireless card
2 Years On-site service
The computer isn't too slick-looking: it's a matte black finish all over. And it doesn't have its own video memory, nor can it output video to a television (a feature I love about my Latitude D600).
Everything else is great though. Has everything listed above, and was only $750 ($250 off and $100 rebate). The screen is very bright if you turn it all the way up. The keyboard feels nice, although some of the buttons aren't in their normal locations.
The computer doesn't come with an XP installation CD, but you can burn one with an included utility. And boy was I glad...
This computer (and any new Dell in fact) is so loaded with memory-hogging, useless software that this computer took longer to boot up than the 300 MHz P-II it replaced! The first thing I did was burn that XP cd, format the hard drive, and reload from scratch. After that, this thing runs great.
