General Comments

Don't buy the Dell Inspiron 1150, you will regret it after a year!!!
I recieved this laptop, very well packed, nice big box(which may explain the £50.00 Delivery Cost) and for the first few months was very impressed.

Then I started to get more adventurous. Often when playing DVD's the film will become very jumpy and will make your viewing poor.

Games - If you want to play games on this machine, you can't, well not anything worth playing. I recently brought GTA Vice City, it will only run on a 640 X 400 resolution because of the rubbish graphics card.

Future - The Celeron and Pentium 4 processors are now more then 5 years old and therefore are not worth buying-you are much better to buy a Centrino or a AMD 64.

Dell - When using desktop computers, Dell are outstanding but their laptops aren't even worth mentioning.

I have had my Inspiron 1150 a year now and I am now looking to buy a new laptop.

Hope this is useful

    i have a basic model dell desktop which is fantastic value, flat screen, exceptionally good price comparative to other brands. good telephone support available. My son borrowed it for his uni work, as his old one so slow, and needless to say I only see it now when i visit him. he assures me it is fantastic, so I am thinking of getting a dell laptop for my own use at home. assumed, perhaps wrongly, that quality would be similar to desktop, but obviously not. I will think again! perhaps get another dell desktop.

    I also bought a dell 1150 just a year ago. 1 month out of warranty and this hopeless thing packed up on me. Dell suggested i return it to them. All very expensive!!!!! I am currently looking to replace the 1150 after just 13 months.

    Warning: DO NOT BUY A DELL NOTEBOOK.
