Dell Inspiron 8200 Laptop Review

I have had this computer for 3 years now. i have never been a big fan of dell however this laptop is not bad. they best part about this laptop is the size its small and lightweight making it very portable. works well for anything basic like internet and word processing. The biggest issue with this computer is that i have had to replace the power cable 3 times and have even been shocked once. im not buying cheap aftermarket cables either. these do not hold up well at all and can be very dangerous. also I have had to completely format and reinstall everything 3 times, luckly dell keeps a recovery install on a partioned space on the hard drive. but i finally have not had any issues on the computer when i put my own version of windows xp on and just installed the dell drivers i needed off the website getting rid of any dell junk thats included on the computer that is useless and slows everything down
