Advantages: Good spec, reasonable price, great processor Disadvantages: The piano black surface attracts dust and dirt.
the dust the way the piano black plastic does - however that's a small quibble. The screen is widescreen and measures 15.6 inches and overall it's pretty lightweight and easy to carry about if you wish to do so.
So - what came in the box?
As well as the laptop there was an instruction manual, mains lead, Dell restoration CD-ROMs and a CD-ROM for Works 9.
The laptop had Windows Vista Premium pre-installed - and I worried that this might be a challenge for me as it was my introduction to Vista - however setting the machine up was a piece of cake.
I merely switched it on and dealt with a few prompts as Vista set up and then the computer was up and running. It has wifi installed and this picked up my wireless connection without any problems - and once I entered the security details for my network we were home and dry and online in no time!

Advantages: in my case none Disadvantages: dealing with a faceless organisation
I have been trying to purchase a laptop from Dell and you would think they would be keen to get business, but no, twice now they have cancelled my order with no notification to me. I only found out by calling them to find out why delivery had not happened. The third occasion after lots of apologies and assurances i agreed to continue with the order.

Advantages: COMPACT , LIGHT, SLEEK LOOKING Disadvantages: OVER SENSITIVE CONTROL PAD
This was our second laptop. Our first was an IBM thinkpad which was a good solid performer.

The performance is all i will ever need .
It has ample disk space and memory and ,when linked up to our 8mb broadband, it is plenty fast!!!

Overall though it is a very smart package and in my opinion is nice and compact and very sleek to look at .
The "shiny" surface of the computer makes it look very modern although can be a pain to keep clean , especially if it is black like mine is.
All in all i would thoroughly recommend this laptop. ...
