Cons: Moody, plastic scratches easily, LCD feels flimsy, VERY POOR customer service

I purchased my Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop about 4 months ago. I upgraded to a 512 processor, Intel Pentium III, CD-RW/DVD combo drive, plug in A drive, 128 memory stick and a wireless mouse. For the most part, things have worked out o.k., until I ...

Pros: Excellent laptop. Easy to use and ready to go right out of the box.
Cons: A little heavy. No floppy but I got a USB external floppy for $31.00.

I received my Dell 5100 a few days ago and even though I waited 2 weeks for it, it was well worth the wait. I was lucky to order mine when they were offering a lot of extras which unfortunately expired on 30 April. I opted for the 14.1 screen, Pentiun 4...

Pros: Level of customization. Inexpensive price.

Pros: Excellent quality, great price
Cons: It's slightly chubby compared to the 'light' laptops, but not a burden.

Pros: acceptable features for the price.
Cons: 8 pounds is light for a bowling ball but too heavy for a laptop.

The laptop looks great on paper. You get many great features for a bit over a grand. This is the price if you choose the bottom of the line support package of 1 year mail in support. IMPORTANT NOTE: DELL WILL NOT LET YOU RETURN YOUR LAPTOP AFTER 30 ...

Pros: Powerful CPU, fast machine, has slot for built in wi-fi card
Cons: Fautly cooling system design

Cons: Can get pricey very quickly if you check too many boxes on the options list.

We recently decided to replace our second computer, a desktop, with one that offered us more portability and the ability to communicate while traveling. After a lot of shopping and so many numbers and specs our heads were spinning, we finally decided on the Dell Inspiron 5100. With the 20th anniversary special, it came loaded up - 40GB hard drive, 512MB of RAM, Microsoft Office Suite, Pentium 4, CD burner with DVD playback and a lot more. The people at the order center were very friendly and helpful, and financing (with 7.9 percent interest instead of the 18-21 percent that most companies offer you) was a snap to get approved. Delivery was exactly on time. The machine has been a flawless performer, in many respects outperforming my desktop, a Compaq Presario 6000. The display is sharp with brilliant color. Setting up the wireless network card (I bought this separately, to get the same brand as my router) took about two minutes, and I was online.

This machine gets a bit pricey if you add too many options. Watch for the special packages - they are a much better deal.

Pros: Good price, expandability, quality
Cons: Weight, lifespan?

Purchased as a Christmas gift for my 11 year old daughter. The whole family enjoys surfing from the comforts of the sofa via wireless internet. Overall performance is great, runs very smooth with games and while surfing. However, after only 9 months of use smoke came out the back and that was the end of that laptop. Dell sent out a replacement, no questions asked! Excellent service! Would recommend to all and will buy my next laptop from them myself. Excellent promotions! We also received a printer and digital camera.
