iBook vs. Inspiron 2500 - Who's the Winner?

by shanna Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jun 18 '01

Cons: Boring looking, $999 model is stripped to bare bones

Less than Average

by Xorg Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 15 '01
Pros: Dell stability and reputation
Cons: Lacks important features, Dell "Support" is horrid
Our company had great success buying some Dell 7500 series notebooks at an auction, so when it came time to add new units for our growing workforce, we opted for the Dell 2500 series. The main reason we picked the 250 is to keep the cost under $2,000...

by gfrobe , Jun 15 '01
Pros: Inexpensive for the features offered
Cons: Flimsy keyboard. Worst customer service I have ever experienced.

Dell Inspiron 1GHz

by lhdal , Mar 04 '02
Pros: lots of configuration choices
Cons: expensive with some configurations

Pros & Cons of buying Dell laptop
