I bought the Dell inspiron on 2005 and at that times it was very promising laptop with all the system requirements. But now all these requirements sounds vague and useless and there are more cheaper phones with same pecs are available in the market and technology have come a long way now.
This laptop is really heavy one and you cannot expect it to take it with you on a bag pack as its heavy a stone and its not comfortable to put it on the lap. Also the exhaust fan makes very loud noises and during the summers it turns on after every 10 minutes and its not comfortable using it for long times.
The laptop screen is really big and its 2cm thick also the keyboard area is nearly 4 cm and it feels more like a briefcase rather than a laptop. The specification a for today is also very low with only 512 my ram and 16 bit processor which is absolute in today's world as today even mobile devices use 64bit processor. The hard drive space is just 60gb which is not at all sufficient for a laptop at all.
It might be a good deal during its release time but its definitely not worth in today's time even if you upgrade the hardware in it and is an outdated device.
