Dell Inspiron 6400 Laptop Reviews

Dell Inspiron 6400.

I bought this laptop and customized to have 9 cell lithium battery by paying another $50 more. After using for an year the battery is now totally dead. My laptop is now as good as a desk top and lost is mobility. Dell is using poor quality batteries on their laptops.

The system has all of the functions that I would use in  day to day situations. I have had only a few tech challenges that were a result of my ineptitude more than any real problem with the unit. From viewing show or movies that I choose to editing my vast picture library the Dell Inspiron has met every need.

There are still many functions as with most systems that I have never used. Many are just things that I do not do and probably will not. The keyboard and scratch mouse I have gotten used to. I actually prefer the scrath mouse compared to any point and click. I find that function much easier...

So, I've had this computer for about 4 years now. It's better than no technology at all, but I wouldn't recommend buying it now, of course, it's outdated to say the least. I upgraded it from Windows XP to Windows 7. It runs slow and has trouble multitasking. I try running Skype and Mozilla at the same time, and it usually lags like no other. I cannot hear the voice on the other end or it becomes very choppy.

It's a bit on the heavy side. I don't take it to school with me because the weight, but the screen is alright. It's not as bright as the new computers that are out now, but it's pretty clear....

I received my dell inspiron 6400 17" laptop as a graduation present and 5 years later its still the first computer I go to when I need to do something online. This computer has had literally thousands of hours of use and is still in great condition. When you purchase a new computer there's even a help line for dell you can call anytime you have problems, questions or concerns about the product! Just before my laptops fifth "birthday" the hard drive went bad and we were able to purchase one directly from dell and install it ourselves and it cost roughly $75 for an essentially brand new laptop!...

Wasn't looking for much other than speed on the internet and could work with my photos.  Had an old HP & it had just bit the dust.  Didn't want to spend too much and this Dell was just the ticket.  Unfortunately, I find myself on it more often now.  The battery holds up great & I find by the time it's just about gone -- that means I've been on it way too long.  I dragged my feet putting out the money to get a new one, so glad I did and for this one.

This laptop was great until after just over one year the speakers broke.  The warranty was up so it cost over $100 to have them diabled because they were making a horrible noise.  The battery only lasted one year and then I had to buy a new one.

Fast laptop, lots of memory.

Very good laptop had it for 3 years!!
