 swlimos's recommendation | |
Wide large screen. WIFI, and media center
Keyboard reliability is sketchy. Stock 40gb hard drive's limited size is partitioned with re-installation image. Memory stick flash ram although included is not supported. Battery's on a large number set machine on fire. Plastic housing's finish easily wears.
This Inspiron 6000 was my 3rd system from Dell. When my Sony Vaio became obsolete, I decided on the 6000 and added some $500 worth of options. It arrived minus a key on the keyboard. Dell sent me a 'used replacement keyboard. The system had some kind of glitch or something from day 1. It would reboot sporadically and would throw errant characters wherever it wished on text documents. The hard drive crashed 4 times in just a few months, the last one taking out the partition and all my files. Dell sent me a 'used' hard drive to replace it. In fact I went through 3 keyboards, and 2 hard drives trying to eliminate its sporadic behaviour. Expressed my concerns about an underlying problem, after each successive used replacement part made no difference. After fooling with the machine for months most of the time it being unusable, it quit firing up altogether. The last call from India (Dell) told me the warranty did not cover motherboard problems and I would have to come up with $250 to fix it. Although it has never run properly, to date it simply sits in the corner non functional, as I put together a small claims action for its replacement, repair, or my money back.
