Dell Inspiron 8200 Laptop Review

My husband and I have had the Inspiron 8200 for just over 5 years, and it's still going strong!  It is a pretty basic laptop, but perfect for everyday use going on the internet, downloading and playing music, etc.  The laptop itself is quite bulky and heavy, but considering how old it is, what else would you expect!  This computer is very durable as well.  I can't count how many times we've dropped it and nothing turns out wrong with it, not even a mark on it to show how it landed.  Two years ago we must have had a virus because we went to turn it on one day, and all it showed was a black screen.  We called Dell, and they were very quick in sending us a new hardrive.  A result of that, is that we lost everything.. documetns, songs and most importantly pictures.. including ones from our wedding.  Since then nothing major has happened to the computer.  Another con I can think of is how hot it gets underneath, too the point you can't be wearing shorts and have it on your lap!  All in all, a great computer that has had a long life full of usage.
