Pros: Cheaper than other Dell notebooks and other Pentium 4-M notebooks Cons: worse performance than a medium or top line Pentium 3-M notebook!
Dude! You're getting a Dell!
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
No you're not... at least not the Inspiron 2650. Actually, Dell should have called this the Make a Quick Buck 2650 since this model and other similar models from other...
Pros: Relatively inexpensive Pentium 4-M notebook, good value Cons: Heavy, lack of modular bays found on most Dell notebooks
Dude, you want a DELL, and you are considering the Inspiron 2650. You've seen the hyped up commercials and the Pentium 4-M logo on the case (or website). And the price, starting at 1200 $US or so, looks almost too good to be true. Unfortunately, it is....
Until recently, if you wanted a Dell with Pentium 4 power in a laptop, you either had to spend over $2000 on the Inspiron 8200 or you had to do the next best thing, by buying a laptop like the Inspiron 4100 with a Pentium 3-m 1.2GHz processor. But these...
Pros: Price, good home PC Cons: Not very portable, fixed bays, limited ports, needs upgrades for acceptable performance
The Inspiron 2650 is in a category known as desktop replacements -- it's portable if you need it to be, but it's really meant to be used around the house as an alternative to a desktop system. At almost 8 lbs with a 15.1" screen, you don't want to carry...
Pros: Very low price, overall good performance, NIC, beautiful screen Cons: Fairly limited expansion capabilities(ie slots), not among the speediest notebooks out there.
The Dell 2650 has had its fair share of bad reviews, and the reasoning that many have had for not purchasing this particular model have been valid ones. That said, I think that it really is a good choice for many of us. Of course, the new much lower...
Pros: DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo drive; 14.1-inch active matrix LCD screen Cons: no composite-video output; runs quite hot
Over the past eight months or so, there's been a bit of a revolution among the leading notebook vendors. In the past, buying a notebook for an affordable price was all about compromise. It lacked many refinements of more expensive models but it booted up...
Pros: Large display, Good speakers, wide range of ports. Cons: 'blocky' display, atrocious keyboard layout, poor build, heat generation.
At first glance the 2650 seems an attractive laptop for the price. Closer examination however reveals the corners that were cut to drop the price.
KEYBOARD; This is the most disappointing part of the computer. The keyboard seems to be a cheap...
Pros: Good value. Durable. Cons: Mediocre performance, frequent crashes (nvidia driver), heavy, lacks expansion module, lacks ports, gets VERY hot.
** Background **
I've owned the Dell Inspiron 2650 for five months now and overall am happy with my decision to purchase. Before the 2650, I was dedicated mac user. I had a number of motivations in deciding to switch to a windows environment,...

When going off to my first year of college, I was not sure whether to buy a desktop or a notebook PC. One thing I was sure of was that I wanted to get a Dell. All possible scenarios ran through my mind, and i cam to my final decision. I decided to get...
Pros: Wireless internet, DVD and CD burner combo, projector output Cons: speed, weight, and battery life
Why I have this Notebook The University of Tennessee's college of business decided they would teach us a lesson in wasting money by requiring us to own laptop computers. I already owned what three years ago was a top of the line machine that stil ...
I purchase the 2650 shortly before Christmas 2002 - got the one with a Celeron processor. At first, it seemed adequate for my limited computer usage: word processing and internet surfing. However, I soon began experiencing odd things happening....the...
Pros: Inexpensive, CDRW/DVD Combo Drive, Fast 1.7, 256 ram, 16 meg video, all standard Cons: A little heavy, but you don't have to carry extra stuff!
DELL is by far the leader in computers! If you haven't ever owned one, buy one! You'll never own another brand after one DELL. I have had Compaq's (long word for crap), IBM's (short for expensive), NEC's (pretty good), but DELL is the BEST. I have...
