I have to start by saying that I am not well into the world of computers but I will describe my experiences of this model of notebook as I found them. First of all, I am impressed with the widescreen and the screen display type. It is an excellent notebook when it comes to playing DVD's. The picture and sound are of high quality. I would rate sound quality 4/5 as it is the best I have experienced with a notebook however I do feel it could be improved. I am also impressed with the speed of power-up on the notebook which is usually approximately 15seconds (i.e from pressing the power button until desktop is displayed and menu's accessible). I am not ...  Read the complete review

Optimal laptop for student and possibly gamer. this laptop is really value for money. i didn't have any problems with my dell inspiron since i bought it (half a year ago), even if you are sceptical because of vista, the operating system is not as bad as people think. I played games such as Crysis, Unreal tournament 3, Doom3, Need For Speed Carbon, The Witcher and Fifa 08 on this laptop without performance failure. The design is also very nice and simple and the laptop's weight is alright. (carrying around my laptop to uni - no back problems yet ^^). Furthermore the laptop does not over-heat and the fan is not too laud, these are two main annoying ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Dell Inspiron 6400 Extreme: A Nice Laptop For A Family Replacing A Desktop PC! (318 words)

After always using a Desktop PC I decided to hunt around for a laptop a year ago. After lots of searching I finally decided on this Dell Inspiron 6400. A year later I am still over the moon with it, and can't find anything majorly wrong with it, and has not let me down once so far (touch wood!). At the time I bnought the laptop Dell had an offer on to upgrade the memory to 2Gb and expect this to be standard now! With Vista Premium also part of the package you need at least 2Gb of memory as the latest Windows is memory hungry and can slow your PC down if it hasn't got enough! The laptop is a nice design and comes in a silver finish with neat ...  Read the complete review

I am currently writing this review on a Dell Inspiron 6400 I have been using over the last few weeks as a test laptop for a clients new network I have been setting up. To ensure the configuration of their VPN etc. They have a number of these laptops onsite that I have been supporting. My review here is going to be of how it arrives out of the box, with nothing different added. First of all it is an impressive specification 2Gb of Ram, a Dual Core processor, a large screen, Network Card, Wifi, etc. This computer is quick to boot up and use, and does everythign a computer should do. The one beautiful thing about Dell computers is ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Dell Inspiron 6400 Extreme: Mixed bag... (236 words)

I bought this as a laptop to take away to uni for my studies. It is very bulky, but that doesn't really bother me as it sits on a desk 90% of the time anyway. The dual core processor gives it plenty of oomph, and the 100GB hard drive is sufficient, provided you have an external storage unit (and let's face it, who doesn't nowadays?) Two areas let this laptop down for me. Firstly is reliability. This comes from the software, not the hardware. I turn it on every morning, fully expecting to see a blue screen, possibly accompanied by a small explosion. Fortunately I always have my data backed up, so I've not lost any serious amount of work. But really, is it that ...  Read the complete review
