Got as a gift from hubby- and that's the only reason I'm keeping it

by iharris , Oct 04 '08
Pros: Sturdy. Great quick start poster. Decent tech support. Great extended warranty.
Cons: Too many parts needed to be replaced.
When I first got this laptop, I could not get into the touchpad mouse. It is really sensitive, especially when using it on the internet. You could merely have your mouse pointer touch a link or advertisement or move the mouse over to where you want it, ...

What happened to the quality

by redvette , Sep 09 '04
Pros: Cheap. Good battery life.
Cons: Poor screen display. Cheap parts. Sparse software.
I purchased a Dell Inspiron back in March and although it is functional and does what it is supposed to do, it sure doesn't compare to my old Thinkpad. I have to admit I bought this on the cheap and really shouldn't complain as it only cost me $700 ...

Pros: bright LCD, good performance for work related computing, sharp display, comfortable keyboard
Cons: resolution problems, lack of connectivity, touchpad goes funky once in a while
One faithful day I awoke to the ring of my door bell. At the time I was groggy and I wasn't too aware of what was going on until I signed for a box. I realized that it was my laptop I ordered from Dell. I rip open the box like a pack of mad children on ...

Dell Inspiron 1000 - Recommend

by michigannative , Jul 08 '04
Pros: Basic machine but good value for the money
Cons: Poor Customer Service -- Even on Very Basic Questions
I found myself in the expensive position of needing a new laptop when I spilled liquid on my now deceased Compaq Presario. Having heard very good things about Dell's customer service and quality over the years, I decided to put them at the top of my ...

Dell Inspiron 1100 – The Dell NOT to Buy

by OpalMan OpalMan is a Lead on Epinions in Computer Hardware, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 05 '04
Pros: Inexpensive, sometimes operable laptop
Cons: Unstable, cheap product with extremely poor support
We recently purchased a number of new laptops at work. A number of them were for the board and a few for the IS department. The IS department needed beefier computers so we purchased Latitude D600s for them. The board however, simply needed a ...

Dell Inspiron 1100 - fine value for money.

by gyardley , May 02 '04
Pros: value for money
Cons: only one PCMCIA slot
It's important to understand what this laptop is and what it isn't. It isn't top of the line. It isn't an excellent video-game-playing machine. It isn't built from the lightest components out there. It's an entry-level laptop. It's priced for those ...

Better than a desktop

by godzthunder , Apr 17 '04
Pros: cheap, equal to desktop
Cons: lack of enough USB ports.
Ok, I have a child, a 10 month old. I also have a home office where I do the majority of my business on my computer, particularly over the internet. A home office is no place for a baby and a living room/play room is no place for a desktop/slew of ...

Decent Entry Level Laptop

by madprogrammer , Apr 16 '04
Pros: Fast Processor, Good Keyboard Layout, Excellent Screen. Excellent Battery.
Cons: Major Heat Issues, Bad Graphics for anything more than word processing.
I bought this laptop to upgrade from a aging Compaq 730US. What attracted me was the price, how could you resist a 800$ laptop with a Pentium4 2 Ghz CPU and an DVD drive. However I was unaware at the time of purchase that this notebook would not be good ...

1100 is a great value. Know that it's heavy.

by willsugg , Mar 02 '04
Pros: Exceptional value. Long battery life. Deferred 90 day payment.
Cons: HEAVY! This is not for those who will need to lug it around.
After using an IBM 600e for a couple of years, I wanted to move up to an IBM T20. The 600e crashed all the time with win98. After much research I found that the Dell 1100 Inspiron seemed to offer more for about the same as I could get a t20 on eBay (with ...
