Pros: large screen, virtually ready out of the box, wireless net work available
Cons: gets quite warm underneath after use

by umrgregg , Mar 12 '02
Pros: Nice options, quiet.
Cons: Too many to put here, read the list inside.
Dell should be ashamed of itself! The Dell Inspiron 8100 I received was an utter piece of junk. I've heard from friends on campus that you're really taking a 50/50 shot at getting a quality notebook from Dell when order one, and if you get a good one...
