Dell Inspiron XPS M1210

So I'm on the move, all the time! Wanted a machine that was light weight, fast, stacks of ram, loads of HD space and can handle things that most desktop pc's could do! When I started looking for this perfect machine. I wondered if looking for something small was going to compromise speed and power! M1210 seemed to be the answer. Next best was a model from Philips. Purchasing through the DELL order line was ok! I always struggle talking to foreign call centres particularly in this case as we were both trying to make sure the specs was ok but we struggled to communicate this to each other and ... more

I had Dell Inspiron 6000 for the last 1.5 years. It is a very good laptop, however it was too big and too heavy for me to carry around to work and university as well as its 80GB memory was not enough for me so I decided to get a smaller and lighter laptop with greater memory and battery life.

I've owned this computer for 2 years now. The computer is light and very easy to set up and use. It does everything I ask of it, I mainly use if for surfing the internetm working on learning packages for work on the word processor and doing digital photographs, which it does with ease. I can't speak for the gaming quality, I'm not into that sort of stuff so I won't comment, but for what I wanted it for, I couldn't go wrong. It feels robust, yet it's easy to carry around. It's comfortable to work on and is pretty fast and easy to use. I've only had 2 problems with it - it crashed once and one ... more
