  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: 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.

  Weaknesses: I found rhat the keys came lose when my son used the notebook maybe he,s heavey handed ? also the wireless products had trouble in certain areas also that it heated up quickly gets hot.

  Overall: The Inspiron 1200 is a great, cheap notebook that packs plenty of power. A DVD/CDR/RW drive allows you to watch movies and burn. I purchased my with a bundle package. Lots of unnecessary software like games and stuff.integrated wireless card slot. A battery life 2 1/2 hours. I would recommend this laptop for anyone wanting an affordable name brand notebook.

  Strengths: Fast, included CD burner/DVD drive, great value

  Weaknesses: No integrated wireless

  Overall: The Inspron is a great, cheap notebook system that packs plenty of power. Its DVD drive allows you to watch moves. It has no integrated wireless, but thanks to a PC card slot, you can add this capability. The battery life (2 1/2 hours) is great for such a cheap notebook. I would recommend this laptop for anyone wanting a cheap major name brand laptop.
