Dell Inspiron 600m Laptop Reviews

The Dell Inspiron 600m notebook computer was the best computer purchase I've ever made. I've had the computer for 6 years now and still love it. It's our everyday, all-day computer. We have it sitting in the kitchen, and I'm typing on it right now. I've never had ANY problems with it. It's never crashed, never needed any sort of repair.

It takes about an hour on the phone to get a problem solved and if your lucky it takes a week to get the parts you need.

Do not buy. Other brands are cheaper and more reliable.

I bought this computer a few years ago as my first Dell expecting them to be reliable computers. Little did I know how much money I would waste on this "affordable" laptop. I bought the "in-home" warranty option thinking that they would come if the phone support couldn't fix my problem. This never happened. They ended up only coming to install hardware, but not even touch the software. I still don't understand why they would charge for this service since only their technicians can perform such repairs without voiding the warranty. The computer itself was slow and ugly. It looked like a plastic...
