3 Star Reviewdecent laptop
Strengths: Price is reasonable as a basic laptop; Speed is decent
Weaknesses: Keyboard not very comfortable; battery life is short.
Summary: I only need this laptop to do some basic word processing and internet browsing. It does that well.

I did re-installed everything from scrath to be able to run the laptop at a good speed. It's time consuming but worth the time.

Overall, a decent laptop for people on a buget.

Strengths: Widescreen Display, Not too heavy for mobile use, Pentium M Processor support
Weaknesses: External Style & colors are not for everyone, limited expandability
Summary: This is a nice widescreen laptop.

The graphics card option on this laptop is only dedicated graphics.

The laptop supports the Pentium M or Celeron M Processors and EIDE Laptop Hard Drives. There are only USB & analogue monitor ports.

There are no serial or parallel on the laptop for those still using those.

Overall a good baisc portable laptop suitable for very light gaming, multimedia & surfing the internet.

2 Star ReviewI have only owned this particular product for 10 d ...
Strengths: Wireless internet
Weaknesses: Slow
Summary: I have only owned this particular product for 10 days. It is brand new. I have not installed any new programs. The laptop is still as it was the day I took it out of its packaging and yet I cannot open more than 4 windows at a time. The computer freezes, stop programs stop responding and tech support is absolutely horrible. You always get someone on the phone that is in India they don't understand a word I am saying and I cannot understand them either.

This particular laptop is very slow. I do like the fact that you can watch dvd's on it and the audio output is strong. However, the processor is slow and Internet Explorer is very slow. I already had it crash on me 3 times in the last 10 days of owning it.

I have already contact dell for instructions on how to return it.
