Dell Inspiron 1200 Review

by Carla Thornton

- I still have my first notebook, a Dell with a square black case and a bulky 14.1-inch XGA screen. It looks like a Buick next to newer notebooks, and the battery has never lasted more than a couple of hours, but I have to give it credit. In the seven years we've been together, my Inspiron 2500 and its sturdy keyboard have never let me down.

Reviewed by: keegan

Duration of ownership: 2 Years

Strengths: Good, solid, cheap computer for simple tasks such as surfing the net and composing office documents.

Weaknesses: Multimedia applications run slower than usual and the computer cannot handle some high performance design apps. Could use a little more RAM. No wi-fi.

Overall Evaluation: I admit. I have been using this computer for two years and I cannot bear to part with it. I use it for everything. It is a little slower than I like, but the RAM is expandable. I have been saving money for a new Vista notebook but I definitely won't sell this one. Overall, it is a great budget PC that could perform better but gets the job done.

Overall Evaluation: I bought this notebook for school, and it has everything i can ask for. This is a wonderful notebook for only 650 dollars. I am so glad i didn't waste my money on a dell latitude. I would highly reccomend this laptop for anyone who needs a PC replacement or for anyone who needs a laptop for school.
