Dell Inspiron Laptop Review

I have waited for years to get a laptop.  I did some research but not tons.  I have a desktop from Dell that is 5 years old and had a good experience with Dell for that computer, so I thought I would give Dell another chance.  The Inspiron has everything I need and then some.  I didn't really need a computer with lots of bells and whistles, I'm not a gamer or intense PC user.  I primarily use my laptop for email/facebook and uploading pics for ebay type transactions, managing my bills and banking from home and listening to music.

I didn't think I would like Vista (I have the basic home version) but it actually is pretty intuitive to use.  I am sure there are tons of capabilities I have no idea of how to access yet!  This computer's initial setup for use was simple, including the WIFI connection.

Among the many pro's as expressed above - the keyboard has nice key action.  It is substantial in size and weight without being unweilding.  I even sprung an extra $40 bucks for the front to be purple and it looks really cool (my hubby and daughter both have black laptops, so I also did it for easy identification).  It is easy to multi-task, especially considering I prefer Firefox for my browser.

The main negative points I have experienced include the glare on the screen that is supposed to help have better definition to graphics, movies, etc.  The glare is really unappealing.  Also the touch pad is incredibly touchy and this can be frustrating.

Overall, I am very happy with my Dell Inspiron with the Vista OS and would recommend it to others.
