General Comments

I previously had a Dell Dimension (desktop) and was generally happy with it, but it was 5 years old and time to move on. I wanted a laptop to get rid of all the clutter that comes with a desktop, though against my instincts I went with Dell again... and am kicking myself for it now. Yes, the desktop was fine, but Dell's customer service--and I use that term loosely--is so horrible that I swore I'd never buy another. Yet here I am.
The Inspiron is just okay. Generally it works fine and speed is okay. However, for some annoying reason it won't play certain videos. The most annoying thing, though, is that I constantly get these error messages that are totally irrelevant. For example, if I close out of a program by clicking the X in the top right corner, I'll get an error message that says, "Such & such program accidentally ended." No, it didn't accidentally end, I closed it! This happens A LOT. Also, it has a mind of its own when it comes to closing the lid. Sometimes it hibernates, sometimes it restarts itself. Very annoying. My brother-in-law has the same model and he dislikes his, too. Same issues.
Some people have commented that it's really lightweight and sleek. Sleek, yes; lightweight, no. I'm not sure what kind of brick laptop they're used to toting around, but I wouldn't qualify this as lightweight.
