Dell Inspiron 1520 Laptop Reviews

I purchased a Dell Inspiron 1520 Laptop ( in Ruby red) in October of 2007 and no sooner did I take it out of the box, then it did not work. It was supposed to have a dvd player, but this did not work. Of course I called Dell and they had me stay on the phone for two hours trying to fix the problem. I dare say I am learning to be a techie, because they went over the same steps over and over and over. Finally, the tech suggested I get an RMA and return it because the problem was not able to be solved. After waiting 3 weeks, I recieved the laptop back and used it From February to June. Then more problems...

This computer has been quite a dissapointment to me.  First thing, it automaticly comes with vista which works far worse than having xp on your computer and there is no way to get this computer in xp.  virus's easily attached my dell inspiron and I do not go to many unigue websites.  I stick with yahoo facebook and mypoints.  All three very secure sites and yet y computer has received virus's from some place.  Whether using firefox or wondows explorer, my screen is guaranteed to freeze.  It is constantly asking me if I would like to update things and I am forever clicking no and do not ask...

This is one of the best Labtops i have used. I love the convinence of it and it goes right along with my life style! On the go and very busy so i need something fast and reliable and this labtop does the job. I would definatley recommend this computer to a friend. I believe everyone could benifit from this type of dell computer. The convince of this labtop it's easy to take right along with u and has a great wireless card which is just great. I give it 5 stars.

This is by far the very best laptop that I have ever used or owned.  I also have a Fujitsu Lifebook T1010 laptop/ tablet pc that ranks side by side with this one.  But moving forward with my Dell Inspiron 1520 review.  This is one amazing piece of machinery!!

I bought my 1520 back in September, 2007, about a year and a half ago, and it still works and loks as though it just came off the assembly line.  The only difference is that, being that I have had it for a time period, it is just freshly broken in.  There are no signs whatsoever of wear and tear.  It has stayed in excellent cosmetic...

     Bought my Dell Inspiron 1520 back in 2007.  I originally went to have one built, but when I got done with the bells and whistles, it was going to cost me $2500.00 at least.  Well, I almost gave up on getting one, but then i went to the Dell Outlet store, and except for one very minor issue, they had a 1520 listed that totally matched the one that I had built.  And the list price was a whopping $1150.00. Then I called and spoke to the outlet rep, and he said the laptop that I was going to buy was basically brand new;  they had just finished the building of it, but the customer had...

This laptop was my first computer and my first major electronics purchase; it replaced the family computer for me, and since I got it with 250 GB of hard drive and 2 GB RAM (well, it seemed like a lot to me), it does pretty much everything our desktop does. More, actually, since it has more resources. I have no problems with the laptop physically; the keyboard is good and the layout is fine, and I like the extra buttons for volume. I got it refurbished from Dell, too, which was especially great since it cost about half as much as it would have to get the exact same specs on the exact same computer...

Its not a bad computer for the price tag                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

If you're considering Dell ask yourself are you lonely, would you welcome hours of interaction with technical support?  Do you enjoy deciphering technical babble from people who are barely literate in your language?  Do you believe a laptop is just as useful as a paperweight than as a functional machine?  If so I recommend Dell.

 We are on our second laptop.  Our first was a lemon who would not recognize an ac adapter, pretty much making it unable to be unplugged.  We went through 5 ac adapters and two motherboards and I spent many hours on the phone and via their chat support trying to get...

My Dell Inspiron 1520 is exactly what I need and use. I went onto the Dell website and created the laptop myself, picking and choosing the features that I wanted and only those features. This was perfect, becuase I didn't end up paying for tons of features that I didn't use, many of which I wouldn't even have known what they were for or how to use them. This computer has all the functions i need, which includes the basics - internet, email, music, photo capacity, and microsoft word and functions for school work. It is as fast as i need it to be and rarely malfunctions. I have had it for more than...
