    Duration of ownership: 4 Months

    Strengths: It will do just about everything that that any computer can do and then some.

    Weaknesses: I have not found it any yet but I know the mouse pad is a little small for me; but maybe it is because I'm not use to it.

    Overall Evaluation: For anyone who wants a computer this a great computer. It weighs about 12 pounds but that already for me. It is very fun and easy to use and will do everything I have asked and more.

What You Should Know about the Inspiron 6000 (2-GHz Pentium M processor, 1GB of DDR400 DRAM)

Not Much RAM for Multitasking

If your needs are simple and you rarely do more than two things at once on your PC, the relatively modest amount of memory that comes installed in inexpensive laptops will be enough. Today the standard amount of RAM shipped in most PCs is 2GB. If you like to multitask--say, you want to launch a search for a file and start backing up data to a disc while you watch a news video--you need more memory.
