General Comments
Dell Inspiron 5150: I can't let this rubbish get away with a 10/10 review. I'm a freelance IT consultant and I think this laptop is really shoddy, especially the build quality. The annoying thing is the feet won't stay on the bottom, so now I've lost one and it won't sit level whilst I type. I'm on my 2nd DVD burner which is now developing the same fault my first one had. It gradually starts failing to recognise media, CD's first then DVD-R's, then everything.
Buy a Tosh instead or a more expensive Dell.
It's also way too heavy once you add leads etc.
