Dell Inspiron 8200 (8TWORH) PC Notebook

Pros: Wonderful When it works! Keyboard
Cons: Modem Freezes entire computer on disconnect. Ultra Sharp screens watermarks. Dells POOR handling

Although this is one beautiful machine, it currently has serious problems, very poorly handled by Dell. Right out of the box, I like many, have the whole computer lock up, upon disconnecting from the on ANY ISP, necessitating pushing the on off button...

Pros: simple to use, fun, up-to-date, good value for money
Cons: none

I got this laptop for graduation and I plan to use it throughout college. Right out of the box the laptop, which was already equipped with all the software I wanted, worked perfectly. When buying this laptop, many add-ons were available at discounted...

Pros: Adequate for a desktop replacement if it worked.
Cons: Incredibly fragile, no support for repairs, warranty worthless

I have had the laptop for several months. I am a Structural Engineer and I purchased it to replace a desktop so I could take my software packages with me to job sites while plugging it into a docking station in the office.
Initial problem is that,...

Pros: Great value for money. Good features. Excellent Customer Service
Cons: Dell recommends 128 for XP, 256 will be ideal

The system is cool. Been using it for 6 months, I had a heat sink issue. Dell repaired and returned it in 3 days. Excellent customer service. The system has been great, no crashes or complaints. Dell can start making CD-RW standard on laptops. This might...

Pros: True desktop replacement, loads of features, price
Cons: Form-factor

I shopped all over the place when I was looking for a recent desktop replacement. Basically, I wanted the following: Pentium 4 (anything over 1.6Ghz) 15" XGA LCD, 256MB RAM, 30GB+hard drive, and a DVD/CD-RW combo. Basically, there were four vendors I...

Pros: When it works, it is great
Cons: Dell's tech support! They know NOTHING about this notebook

This notebook ran great for about five months, then the fun began.

When the notebook died, they said "no problem" and since I have "next day service" it would be fine. Two days later I receive a new DVD to install myself..no change.
...

Pros: Mobile P4-m CPU, 15" LCD
Cons: no superior power, weight

Intel's Pentium 4 processor has finally made its way into notebooks, debuting at 1.6 GHz and 1.7 GHz, and promising ever-faster speeds down the road. The chip certainly has the headroom to grow, and new systems carrying the processor have a faster...

Pros: Screen size, good paper weight
Cons: Heavy, thick, error-laden

I despise the Dell Inspiron 8200. Actually, I hate all Dells, but I get them for half price (thus the price I have listed for the amount paid), so I buy them anyway. This one seemed super for the first month or so... Until the errors started.
...

Pros: Good Display
Cons: Weight Customer Service Performance

Let's start off with my Dell experience...to begin with, one of the customer service reps I went through took my phone number and phoned me at 10 o'clock at night and midnight, asking me about myself! Our information is supposed to be private, not...

Pros: Fast, dependable, great price
Cons: Heavy as a brick, noisy hard drive

Let me start by saying that I really like this computer. I got it at a great price, it has worked flawlessly, and it does everything I need it to.

I ordered mine with the 1.6GHz P4M, 128M of RAM, a DVD drive, and the 30 Gig hard drive. It...

Pros: POWER, Battery life, upgrades, monitor, and well more POWER, and POWER!
Cons: depends what you want, looks like a traditional laptop. Good or bad thing?

I couldn't believe my eyes when I went to the Dell website. All it said was "FREE UPGRADE FROM 256MB to 768MB and FREE UPGRADE FROM 30GB HARD DRIVE to 60GB. It was a $700 value, how could I refuse. My laptop is now a supercharged Geforce 4 2GHZ gaming,...

Pros: Most Bang for the Buck
Cons: Don't use the 90 days same as cash... DUDE

I am really happy with my new Dell. The computer fired right up out of the box and I was connected to my broadband connection in a matter of minutes. I added 256 of memory (from another source) for $50 and the machine is really fast. I also upgraded...

Pros: fast, long battery life
Cons: none that comes to mind

Good computer with loads of capability for expansion, long battery life, good price, great computer w/out and expansions! Good design, comes with extras, light, good warranty and tech support. Easy to use, fun to use! programming allows for multiple...

Pros: Sturdy design
Cons: Poor Support

This laptop can be an excellent choice as the specifications are excellent. However, my (company) and wife's experience is that there are numerous problem with XP and you can't buy them with anything but XP.
The additional limitations seem to lie...

Pros: Good hardware
Cons: Terrible support - THE TUnnel without the END!!!

Bought Dell LAtitude C840 , P4-2000mhz laptop (in line with Inspiron8200 but...BETTER quality of assembly and parts).

Have confirmed with the sales person that LCD display must support not less then 75HZ frequency rate through the phone and...
