I do a fair bit of travelling ,so when my toshiba equium gave up the ghost...dont buy one..!...i looked around for a mid range solid workhorse of a laptop.I was recommended the Dell Inspiron 6400 ,admittedly by an ex-dell engineer..but he had one in his rucksack..so couyldnt be all bad could it? Well actually no..it was a good value for money buy,and it is still working today....as u can see from this review (*_*).
I got the larger battery( 9 cell) which i would recommend for any laptop computer really . The Os was vista unfortunately ,,but i got used to it in the end. I dont buy the 3 yr warranty for Dell..never needed it for any of the 4 pc/;aptops i have bought of theirs.
Overall i would say good quality and fair price and good performance.
oops sry forgot...because of vista memory greddiness..i bough extra 2x1gb ram...so have 2.0Gb now..much better performance
