Dell Inspiron 5150 (5150rh) PC Notebook

Pros: Can't come up with any.
Cons: Repeated issues with motherboard. Heavy. Overheated. Periodically ran very slow - no good reason.

I am angrily writing this on my 12 year old CTX desktop computer (yes, 12 years and still works fine). I bought the Dell 5150 based on previous reviews in the winter of 2005. It seemed like a good buy at the time. Now, three motherboards later, the ...

Pros: Powerful when working.
Cons: Almost never works.

Worst computer I've ever owned. Be aware that Dhell sends shills to these sites to write glowing opinions. They're the ones who sound like Dhell advertisements. "Dyoude, you're gettin' a Dhell!" Not. As with so many others, the AC plug wouldn't ...

Pros: I can't think of any. Attractive paper weight?
Cons: Lying, poor quality product that will have to be replaced several times

I bought this model in September, 2003. During Thanksgiving weekend of that year, my processor fried. I got a replacement processor, but it fried 2 days later. I called again, and got another processor sent to me, however this time they told me it was ...

Pros: Fast when it is working.
Cons: Very limited lifetime.

Cons: Wireless problems and overheating

The Dell Inspiron 5150 is one top of the line notebook. It took a while to find the right computer but when I saw the 5150 I felt it was a perfect computer to fit my needs. I don’t really require much on a notebook, except word processing and ...

Despite better value machines being on offer, my employer forced me down the route of the Dell Inspiron 5150 assuring me that Dell, being a world-renowned brand, would be able to suit my needs. Desperate for a machine with significant performance ...

Pros: Decent feature group
Cons: Wireless is useless, keyboard layout is poor, HEAVY laptop!, DELL support

I purchased this laptop through work to replace my 4150 which got farmed out to a junior. Not too pleased with what arrived. First off, I can't get over how heavy this unit is compared to the 4150... it's a TANK! My leather Samsonite case is literally ...

Pros: Good value, nice looking.
Cons: Poor support.

I bought this laptop for my college age daughter. Price was good compared to local computer stores and the laptop is very nice for what you pay. Everything was fine for about a month and then I decided to buy her a wireless PCMCIA card. That's when the ...

Pros: Nice screen size? I can't get beyond that point
Cons: Terrible customer service.

Three weeks ago we received a Dell inspiron 5150. It seemed like a pretty good deal, a thousand bucks and a 2.6 GHZ CPU, plenty of RAM, and nice screen size. When it started up, the screen was large and crisp. Everything worked until we got to the ...

Cons: Weight, operating temperature on high load, lack of PS/2, COM and LPT ports

It is my first notebook, which I own BTW for 5 months already. I made a great research before purchasing, because of willing to get something really valuable for a moderate price. I'm a programmer, so I have very high demands as for notebook ...

Cons: cant understand dells service reps at all, very frustrating.

Awesome laptop, theres nothing this thing cant do, great graphics, I have the 64MB nvidia, and love it, plays all the games I want it to, runs photoshop like it was made for it. Only problem I can find is the service people are located in another ...
