Dell Inspiron E1505 PC Notebook Reviews

The computer worked great during the standard 1 year man. warranty. Then the problems started- a new hard drive was need. And the Dell tech came to the house to install it, great, not, the tech forgot to put the screws back in the unit, now the hard drive can literally slide out if you pick up the computer wrong. Then the optical drive broke, and needed to be replaced. Then the blue screens started and continue now. Good thing I got the extended premium service plan.
TIP: IF you buy a Dell- buy an extended service plan
TIP: Don't buy Dell

I bought the Dell Inspiron e1505 for college and within one year, the hard drive died.  I cannot turn on the computer, and you have to ship it to Dell for them to fix it.  Dell has very poor customer service and it was difficult to get someone to talk to me on the phone.  When it was working, the wifi was fast and easy to connect, and the programs loaded easily enough.  However, the computer came with many unwanted and useless programs.  I like that the power cord is long and that it gets a good battery life, but the computer was just too bulky, awkward and heavy, especially compared with...

I have had my Dell Inspiron E1505 for about three years now and overall have had only minor problems with it.  I am on the computer daily for work, school, networking and gaming so my notebook gets exessive use.  I also haul it with me everyday to work and school and was concerned that the wear and tear may leave me having to purchase an new notebook evry year so I purchased the extended service plan and am happy to say that I have never had to use it.  That being said there are some issues that I do wish Dell would address.  One of the most minor of those issues is how easily the exterior...

The dell inspiron e1505 is a 15.4" widescreen notebook now available with the impressive intell core 2 Duo processor.The Inspiron 6400 is available through the Dell Business site and is the same as the e1505.

The e1505 is a well rounded mainstream notebook, highly customizable and available at a competitive price.Now that it comes with the Core 2 Duo at similar prices to the original Core Duo you'll be getting even more value for your dollar.

The Dell Inspiron e1505 with Core 2 Duo and X1400 graphics card is a great performer for the price. If you can utilize this notebooks dual core capabilities...

I have been an avid Dell user for over 7 years now.  I have purchased 5 computers from them in that 7 or so years.  Always felt I was getting a good deal and a great computer.  Until this one. 

As for the computer itself  it has a great wide screen, intagrated number pad, and for a laptop- pretty good speakers.  It really ends there.  Within 2 months of owning it the AC adapter went kaput.  I called, they replaced.  2 months later, same thing, only this time the battery went with it.  They sent someone out to look at it, replaced the motherboard and still nothing.  Called back- they...

I have had my Dell Inspiron for about seven months now, and I have had no problems what so ever.  I came with Windows Vista, which in my opinion is a very good program.  I have had no trouble getting into any web site or program.  It has wifi and is very compatable.  My Notebook fits in my shoulder bag with room for other things that I may need to carry.  The card reader is excellent, it's pretty much reads anything which is good because I have three boys aging from twelve through two.  They can watch movies and play cd rom games, and when they need to move to a different room my notebook...

I've had my Dell e1505 for three years, and it's been a good buy overall. I've had one or two problems with hardware, but they were resolved quickly by Dell. The computer's components are quality, and the system is well balanced and built.

My only major complaint was all the crap worthless pre-loaded software the computer came with. Out of the box, I was disappointed with the computer's speed and load time. The first thing I did was wipe the hard drive and install a fresh retail version of Windows Vista Business. Then the computer was lightning fast.

Only other problem was the screen hinge. The...

My dell computer has been somewhat disappointing.  I saved my money for almost one year, because I wanted to pay cash for it.  I did research on all the brands and I asked all my friends about what their opinions were.  I was so excited to go that day and but my Dell computer.  When I received my computer in the mail, I could not wait to get started using it.  At first it was exciting seeing all the features.  I had Mcafee spyware among other things.  Unfortunatly, within six months my spyware had malfunctioned.  I had to call a guy overseas to have him tell me the hour long process of...

This Dell 1505 is not my first laptop.  I don't just use computers for fun. 

I've had IBM's and Compaqs.  This is my first Dell and I'll never buy anything but a Dell.

I've not had any problem with this 1505.  My husband has a 1705 and he has had some problems with the screen.  However, he is always lifting and moving his laptop by the screen. I've told him that is probably what the problem is.

The performance of this laptop, the battery, the screen and the ports are all excellent.

The only thing that I'd like is a true docking station.  I did buy the "docking station" that uses the USB port...
