Dell Lattitutde D520 Review

For anyone looking for a laptop.  You do not want to purchase a Dell.  They are nice feeling computers, however, the ventilation system is on the underneath of the laptop.  I thought they called it a laptop, because you used it on your lap.  Wrong answer with that one.  If you do not have a cooling pad for it to help with the ventialation then it is going to overheat.  Mine finally overheated and fried the motherboard.  When I contacted Dell, to sum it up.  I was out of luck.  They stated I abused the computer and the damages were my fault.  Needless to say, I did not 'abuse' the laptop I used it the way I use my Gateway and my HP, and theirs fried, my others do not get as hot as that one did.  I have discussed with other co-workers and friends who have various varieties of Dell laptops, they state they have the same problem.  Don't waste your money.  Perhaps Dell will get with it and realize that they need to rethink their laptop designs.
