Dell Inspiron 9300 Laptop Review Summary

Dell usually markets the Inspiron-class notebook computer to those users looking for a sub-$1000 platform. However, Dell markets the Inspiron 9300 as a multimedia powerhouse; a powerhouse our community of reviewers all agree performs well. One reviewer lauded the notebook saying: “This is a fantastic laptop. I bought it with the wide screen (19") and everyone can't get over how great the picture quality is.” Still another stated: “Getting the Dell Inspiron 9300 Laptop was the best decision I've made. It has all the qualities you could ever want in a laptop.” Dell equipped the 7.7 pound Dell Inspiron 9300 with a 17” wide-screen TFT active matrix wide-screen display ideal for watching DVD movies; an Intel Pentium M processor, up to 2GB (shared) DDR2 Dual-channel SDRAM, and dual-layer DVD drive. Overall our community of reviewers highly recommends the Dell Inspiron 9300 wide-screen notebook as well as the Hewlett Packard HP Pavilion DV6000 and Acer Aspire notebool computers.

This is a fantastic laptop. I bought it with the wide screen (19") and everyone can't get over how great the picture quality is. You never squint, you can watch movies on it, you can run tons of programs at the same time, and it never slows down. Adding the extra memory and processor are well worth it....

The Dell Inspiron 9300 is huge. I got this laptop 4 years ago for college and it's still pretty much alive. It is great for multitasking because of the huge wide screen, which I love for times when I just downloaded a movie, or when I'm editing something on Photoshop. However, right after my one year...

Getting the Dell Inspiron 9300 Laptop was the best decision I've made. It has all the qualities you could ever want in a laptop. It offers the Intel Pentium M Processor and extended battery life. Also offers incredible graphics performance for entertainment applications.It has a large screen but its easy to travel with.

The Dell Insprion 9300 is a great laptop with some serious power.  Although the hard drive is small at 35 gb, it has plenty of USB ports to plug any one the numerous external hard drives available at in electornics store, (Best Buy, Staples, Office Depot, etc. ). Would recommend this Dell to anyone.  The Wi-fi is great, although it can be a little finicky at times.  With the 17" screen, weight becomes an issue and it can be difficult to use for extended periods of time.  Get the padded pack back to transport this laptop around. It makes your like so much easier.  Have replaced my desktop computer...

The inspiron 9300 has worked flawlessly in the time I have had it.  I upgraded the RAM and I can't find a reason to replace it.  Sure, the new netbooks are tempting with their low prices but along with teh low price comes a small screen, barely any computer power or graphics capability.  I'll stick with this desktop replacement anytime.  Dell may not make the most stylish laptops but they definitely have built one to last here. I think the next replacement will be a laptop with the Ultra low voltage chip so that I can take it on the road for 8-10 hours.  That's the only limitation for this...

I've owned Hp's, Apple's, Toshiba's and IBM's in my 33 years and this year was the first time i was silly enought to buy a Dell Computer. Within the first week the mousepad was having an issue and I found myself having a difficult time scolling my mouse around. By month 2 the cheap Dell frame began to crack on the bottom left hand corner of my computer. I went to a pretty lousy lower-middle class college known as the U of South Florida in Tampa and I should have realized that considering 80 percent of the students whom attended that school seemed to own a Dell....I should have have avoided this...

I have to say that I really enjoyed my laptop until it started draining my battery life, I bought a new battery and it drained it completely. Less than 24 hours and I had to go back to an outlet and plug in. This is not very convenient when I have a 2 year old and need to move locations when doing work. It is very limiting and when I went online to troubleshoot Dell will not provide any information because my warranty is up. I find that to be terrible customer service. Luckily my husband is very good at computers so I will have to rely on him to try and figure out the problem.

Dell ships a lot faster than they say which is great.  They customize everything and the ordering process is simple.  It took minutes to create a computer with everything I need on it and had it in my hands a week later.  Looks great and is simple to use!  Will definilty purchase another Dell in the future.

I have had my dell insprion 9300 since I started college and it has been with me through a lot of late night paper writing and picture downloading. It is a great computer.  I bought the extra wide screen to watch movies.  The downside to that is it does not really fit into the backpacks or bags that are made for the normal size computers. One thing I did not like was that the sides started to show cracks in the paint only several months after I got it, also the letters on the keys wore away after a ltitle while too.  But overall the computer has a lot of storage space, good screen quality... review »

The Dell inspiron 9300 is one of the best laptops I have come across.  I purchased mine back in 2005 and it is still going strong.  I have a 4 year warranty that came with the package deal and have replaced a couple parts here and there.  Dell's warranty service is phenominal for the most part the replacement parts came next business day and the technicians they use are well trained knowledgable servicemen.  I recomend upgrading the video card to a 128 MB instead of the standard 32 or 64 MB card that is comes with as default.

I got my Dell Inspriron 9300 last March. I had wanted one for so long. Laptops are a bit different then PC's but they make life easier. You can be near you kids and still feed your computer addiction.

I use mine daily. My kids are sometimes allowed to use it. It runs fast and smooth. Kids added a bunch of games and it did not slow it down.

I highly recommend this product. It performs, company you trust, and the colors let you express yourself.
