Dell Inspiron 4150 (INSPIRON 4150/) PC Notebook

Pros: Medium weight, Easy to use, Great customer service, good warranty, not the most expensive model.
Cons: Not extremely light. Price is not low-budget compared to lowest cost laptops.

I've had my Dell Inspiron 4150 laptop for over a year. I ordered it out of frustration. We'd had our desktop for a while, and it was relatively slow and tended to crash occasionally. It had been my husband's during college and was a cheap model his ...

Pros: Extremely sturdy and reliable. Lots of features at a nice price.
Cons: I wish the battery lasted longer.

I bought this computer 4 months old off of eBay. The seller had over-bought and ended up selling this one. His loss. My gain. It is a P4/256/850mhz/30Gb HD. This Dell has been nothing short of perfect. I added a DVD-CD/RW and it addresses all my needs. By today's standards, this is not state-of-the-art. It has a standard size screen and keyboard. I use the Inspiron primarily for wireless internet and work travel. It is not too heavy, but not a lightweight either. It has all the necessary ports and plug-ins. I run XP and a Linksys wireless on this unit. Both have worked flawlessly on the Inspiron. In fact, this Dell notebook has never locked up in the year I've owned it. Also, Dell customer support was fantastic when I swithed the remainder of the warranty to my name. They didn't care that I bought it used and treated me as if I had bought it directly from Dell.

Pros: Excellent mobile capability, with plenty of memory and speed.
Cons: Needs another USB port built in.

I ordered the Dell Inspiron 4150 laptop computer after the advice of a friend, and am I glad I did. This computer is everything I envisioned -- and more. Not only do I have the speed and power I wanted, but I have the mobility to work from any sporting venue I am working at (I am a sportswriter). Mine came equipped with the standard issue Intel Mobile Pentium 4M, with 266 MHz DDR SDRAM memory. Now, I don't know a lot about computers, but that is more than enough memory and speed to utilize the programs I need for work, and still have enough room to load in many game --like my favorite, the Simms. The only negative I have seen is my unit only had one USB port, so I bought a multi-unit adapter so I can run my printer and mouse at the same time. All in all, this was a great buy that I would recommend to anyone in the market for a new computer.
