I bought this laptop with money from gaduating high school.  This thing is unbelievable what a little thing can do so much.  It has enough space for my music and access to the internet is a click away.  This laptop is used for pleasure and in the fall it will help me in my college classes.The notebook...

I bought the Dell to replace my old laptop. I have had it now for about 3 months and I am still not sure I really like it.

It is definately not as user friendly as I  was lead to believe. I  have trouble with the mousepad on the unit and will probably end up using an external mouse. Does not run as...

I've been a computer user since I was 3 years old, always updating to the next piece of technology when the last was deemed obsolete. Recently I bought Dell's Inspiron 15 to replace my old 8600. I wasn't sure at first if it was going to be a real upgrade or not, but I have to give it up to the 15. It's a pretty nice little machine.

 

Though it seems to do everything the old laptop did, it's just not quite the same. I'm not sure if everyone is like me, but I grow attached to each heap of wires and pixels and am rather reluctant to give the old up to oblivion. It's growing on me, though. I'm...

When I first got this computer it was a bit challenging because of the touch pad.  I kept hitting my palms on the pad and it would make the computer to crazy things while I was in the word processor.  I then moved to set it up wirelessly and had such a hard time.  I had called into tech support and they were very nice but after about two hours and the search for the "switch", they dubbed my issue to be with my router.  To make a long story short, the "switch" they were referring to was acutally my F2 key - which they had been trying to get me to hit ctrl + F2, which was not working, when what...

In August my Dell desktop was fried due to an electrical surge that went through my cable line into my motem and then to my computer. I was devistated because I loved my Dell. Luckily, it was during the tax free weekend for computers. I went to Best Buy and asked the clerk to help me pick out a computer that I could use to burn DVD/CDs, watch on-line television shows, check emails and other internet related things. He should me the Dell Inspiron 15. I had an option of basic black or cherry red so I decided to be different and choose the cherry red. When I got home and started using my new computer...

DELL HAS CHANGED A LOT SINCE I BOUGHT MY SON A LAPTOP.  DELL WAS A VERY PRICEY PRODUCT BUT NOT THEY ARE VERY COMPATAIBLE TO OTHER LAPTOP NOW.  THEY HAVE THE BEST WARRANTY FOR THE MONEY ALSO. I think dell realize that their a lot of house hold that can not afford expensive equipment but need the lastest technology  in their houses.  Our children need computers for their school work  whether it's college or elementary.  Dell has stepped up their technology skills by giving the people more of what they want in styles, colors, and gaming to video capatabilitys.  Dell has also bought their product...

The Dell Inspiron 15 does just about everything at an affordable price! I have mine on a wireless internet connection through a router connected to my modem and the surfing and download speed is fantastic! I really enjoy sitting in my recliner and doing my favorite things such as playing games, reading and sending e-mails, reading the news, and occassionally doing some on-line shopping. However, if I long for some fresh air, I simply disconnect the power source and the battery keeps me running out on the deck. Since I had a bit of trouble with the touchpad, I use an external mouse and a piece of...

If you are looking for a computer that you can lug to classes, use for homework, keep up on your email, and just do everyday things for around $500USD than this is the computer for you.  I researched several different types and this was the best buy with the warranty that I could find.  It came with the Windows 2007 upgrade, webcam and CD/DVD burner.  It also came with a 2 year on the motherboard which is also a plus to me since that is usually my problem.  If you are looking for a compact computer this is not it.  This is a full size laptop, with the large screen for those of us who want...

My husband just bought me a laptop.  I didn't know that I would love it so much. It has a 15 inch screen and it is marvelous. I'm on it everyday. I mostly us it to check email, play games and do online surveys. My niece had one and I fell in love with it.  I never really used a laptop before, but this one is the best.  I love the big screen!!! I had trouble adapting to using the touchpad so I had to purchase a wireless mouse to use to play my games. My fingers couldn't move fast enough to play the games. The advantages of having a laptop opposed to a PC is that you can move around and operate....

The Dell Inspirin 15 is a sleek lightweight laptop computer. Its Fastr efficent and comes with a great amount of space. The downfall. The Battery only stays charged for about an Hour. Comes with a good security system and a 15 inch screen. Slightly hard to get used to at first but then a good fit. Another downfall is the mouse get stuck often. Not so good for a game user. It randomly zooms in or out and it takes a few steps to get it back to normal. Dell Inspiron was affordable and does its job. Very satisfied overall.It only comes in the color black and isnt as common as other computers. It has...

I am writing a review for the Dell Laptop computer that I own. My eperience with it is very good. The windows operating system can be slow sometimes, but it is easy to navigate through.  Getting on the internet is easy using intenet explorer. We use it alot for writing, homework, surfing the web and just about anything. I like the fact that it has a wireless internet built in that way I don't have to just sit in one spot and I can take it anywhere I need to go.  it helps .

I love this mini Dell computer because it is the best "on the go companion" you could have! As a busy elementary teacher, graduate student, and blogger, I am always on the go and needing computer access. The mini inspiron allows me to get my jobs done on the run and I can throw it in my purse as I head out the door. The keyboard is large enough to be user friendly and is easy to get used to using.

I bought my Dell Inspiron 15 about 2 months ago. I love it!! Dell laptops are the best.  I paid 450.00 for it with shipping and it was worth every penny. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a good computer for a good price. Thank You DELL!

I originally considered purchasing a laptop for the conveniene when traveling.  Most hotels offer wifi but you must have your own computer.  I really missed not being in touch with my emails from friends and family

This is a good laptop at reasonable price. I upgraded the display to LED and it's just great. With 4G memory and Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, the performance is great.
