    Duration of ownership: 10 Months

    Strengths: Battery life, screen size, durable overall, cheap

    Weaknesses:Battery heat, poor laptop for gaming

    Overall Evaluation: I know, why would I buy a corporate laptop to play games. It held up really well with games that are a year old and older, but recently I bought a top of the line brand new game to find the video card that came with this is lacking. I use this laptop for lectures and it works perfectly for that. I don't even bring my charger if I have just a couple hours of lecture, and sometimes I'll have video going during class and the battery is still fine. Yes, like everyone will say, the battery heats up quite a bit but I have only had it painfully hot a small handful of times, when I've left it on overnight or gaming for multiple hours. If you want a cheap, cheap dependable laptop that can be handled roughly and live to tell about it, go on ebay and look up this guy. I got mine there for about $200, and after the mods are done to make this a gamer laptop itll be about $300, but I know how to shop thrifty for parts. Remember, you get what you pay for. It's cheap. But it does everything I want it to do. Also, to the other review that mentioned replacing keyboard/buttons - I have not had that problem at all. Yes, they feel flimsy but not once have I had a renegade fall off or bust up.

    Duration of ownership: 4 Days

    Strengths: sturdy for the most part, average weight, mediocre customer service

    Weaknesses:heat where the battery sits, a little heavy/bulky for my taste, flimsy keys/keyboard and power/volume buttons

    Overall Evaluation: As you can see above, it was difficult for me to think of strengths or weaknesses. That's because I consider this a very mediocre laptop. It's not great, but it's not bad either. I would call it "good" though. Yes...maybe not when it's making me angry, but for the most part.The battery is under my left palm and is constantly hot, which is an irritation. In fact, it is downright painful sometimes. The physical parts have cracked on me now, but it is 4 years old so I can't say anything about that -- I would expect not many laptops would last this long (granted this is the only laptop I've ever owned, but this is what I've been told). I had to replace the keyboard and power/volume buttons once (while still under warranty) because they are rather flimsy, but since then they have been fine.I would not "praise" Dell's computer service , but it is again, mediocre. If you call and complain for a decent amount of time, they will take care of you. In no way do they go above and beyond. I had purchased the 3-year extended at-home service warranty and at first they always refused to do the at-home part...until I complained. They always caved in.All in all, I can see why businesses would like to purchase this in bulk -- makes sense. Not so great for a personal use laptop though...I think you can get better for the money. If I start a business, I'll buy another Dell. Until then...I think I will move on and try some other companies...

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: none

    Weaknesses:they say they have good service but it is not.

    Overall Evaluation: i took one of these laptops apart it was horrible cheap to will never buy or sell or even tell any of my friends to buy a laptop. Now bill gates is trying to corner the market with vista so you have to upgrade. The program slows your computer down and when you call them for help i know more than they do. It adds no special features besides what they copied from mac. (i do not like mac either.) just stick with xp pro with sp2 intill they figure it out. USE BETTER PARTS NEXT TIME DELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Duration of ownership: 1 Years

    Strengths: durable, performance, graphics card radeon 9000, lightweight powerful and decent battery life.

    Weaknesses:None found so far.

    Overall Evaluation: I work for a very large company that purchases many types of notebooks based on user request. The D600 has been the best. My company to continue with Dell with their newer models.
