4Nice Computer; Great Sound




By netmeg


So far so good. Bought this after a horrible experience with a brand new Toshiba. So far I like it. Good keyboard, beautiful screen. It's a little heavier than I'd hoped (the Toshiba with same screen was at least a pound lighter) but the sound quality on this model is killer. Best laptop sound I've ever run across. This is my first Dell; if it works out it won't be my last. Oh, the fan is a little noisy, but I suspect all these high powered machines run hot.

5Dell at its best




By Sridhar K. Nemani


I am not a big fan of Dell. I am a macbook fan. But I really loved this laptop. I have been using this for over 4months now. I really liked this new line of Inspirons that dell started. I wasnt a big fan of the older inspirons.





Pros:


-very good configuration for that price.


-i got it for 730, after a few days it went down to 699. So current price(799) is a little high for it, and if you wait or try elsewhere you can get it for less.


-awesome display quality obviously because it is HD.


-too good audio quality. it is the best, and for those who need higher volume. Yes, this one gives higher volume too.


-very sturdy compared to the older inspirons, i really loved the design and sturdiness of it.


-very good placement of three usb ports(left,back,right), and has a card reader along with HDMI, vga display. it just has everything you might ever need.


-very good ventilation compared to any other laptop I have ever seen. It does not need another laptop cooler, it has just got enough fans and ventilators to maintain temperature.





Cons(not many):


-I thought this particular config had bluetooth also. either i misunderstood or amazon changed the description later. Anyway, it does NOT have bluetooth.


-ventilation and cooling is awesome, but it does make some sound which some might not like. im fine with it. its not much for me.


-usb placement is fine for me, but for some who might use portable hard drives and connect one to more than one usb ports for additional power to the drive. the placement is not very friendly for such purposes as the usb connector cable might not be that long for your device if it needs two ports.

5very big bang for the buck




By Tomas


So if your looking for a well put together group of features, you found it folks. Well put together over all , as another reviewer noted, its a bit heavy , but its other features overwhelm any desire to reflect to intently on that fact. In short media is crist fast and responsive. Audio is some of the best ive heard from an out of the box unit. I watched a movie on the device for the first time the other night and was stunned at the quality this screen has. I looked for better than a month at different products, it came down to this one , with the right price
