Dell Inspiron 6400 - Celeron M 520 1.6 GHz - 15.4" TFT

Advantages: Hardy machine, durable, good support from dell online also. recommended
Disadvantages: Poor battery, power pin loose, screen loose, both tightened up.

...Owned an Inspiron 1300 for over a year know, and Dell over all I would recommend as a hardy piece of kit. No wonder they are number one as anyone wanting a realiable and good working machine then you can do no wrong then a dell. Only a few quibbles but mainly down to 3 people using the laptop everyday, the power plug became loose meaning the screen would flicker and charging would be intermittent. The battery is on 29wh very poor 1 hour bad from dell but after all its a budget machine. The 15" screen excellent, use of the keyboard and touch mouse excellent and durable, able to take my nieces gaming bashes. Not very quick as its a budget machine but adequate and with Wi-fi excellent. No bluetooth but a cheap dongle can sort that out.... Read review

I also used to go away quite a lot and would find the laptop very easy to carry and the software i had for my wireless was really easy to connect to any other wireless access point as long as you knew the wep key The hard drive on these is also ok because i used to store quite a lot of programs and files on there. I was really upset about selling this computer but had to due to finace difficultys. As soon as ive got the money i will be going straight to dell.co.uk for one... Read review
