Pros: Weight is great. compact
Cons: the Tech Support service the worst,it overheats, mark from the space-bar on the screen
The Bottom Line: Dont buy,. not worth the money just for the difference in weight

| travelme's Full Review: Dell Inspiron 600M (600MSAP) PC Notebook |
I bought this 600m Dell. full loaded.. I do like the compactness, and the light weight, but it has too many flaws. and not really worth the $ 2400 I paid. I bought it because i travel alot..
first, the computer gets very, very hot.When closed and opened the spacebar leaves a mark on your screen, and everytime you clean your screen , when you closed it, and open again the space bar once again leaves a nasty mark on the screen. the keys are very flimsy, when you are typing very fast your fingers get caught between the edges of the keys. The battery doesnt last as long as dell claims. the speakers sucks, not very high at all. When i am in a hotel and playing a CD I cant even hear it when i go in the bathroom, with the door open.
You have very little control over the contrast and brightnesss of the screen .. and it sucks.
OH .. and most of all.. the Dell Support (tech) is awful. they have the worst technical support of any other company . be prepared to be on the phone, about 45 minutes.. before anyone helps you. and if you send your questions by email . allow 4 weeks for an answer.. The have a very poor support staff.
I wouldnt recommend spending the money buying a 600m.. better of with the little more weight and get the 5150.. if you really want a DELL.
Overall I am not too please with Dell, however i do like the computer only for its weight..
