Pros: powerful, good keyboard, great screen
Cons: bad locations of ports and configuration
I purchased a Dell Inspiron 8000 several months ago. The laptop came out of the box perfectly ready to use. All the documentation, software, and accessories were ready. This is the perfect desktop replacement in terms of power (my 1Ghz). Since this...

Pros: powerful processor, hi-res screen, 2 USB ports, both types of mice
Cons: slightly heavy
My previous laptop had an AMD K62 processor (333MHz), 96MB RAM and a 13" 800x600 screen, so when I upgraded to the Inspiron 8000, I was completely blown away. My configuration has the 850 MHz PIII processor, a 15" SXGA+ screeen (1400x1050 res), and...

Pros: Beautiful, vivid screen; dual optical bays; dual pointing devices; superb graphics; classic looks.....
Cons: Somewhat bulky; poor placement of modem/ethernet ports
Without a doubt the Inspiron 8100 is what they had in mind when they coined the phrase "desktop replacement". The features on this laptop are mindblowing, and illustrate how far the mobile market has come in just a short time. My Inspiron features the...

Pros: It's a DELL, it's a LapTop and it's fast
Cons: It's BIG, it's heavy, and it's prone to crashes
I have a Dell Dimension Desk Top, and I'm VERY pleased with it, so when I was in the market for a laptop, I IGNORED my own best ideas and listened to those around me and investigated a Dell Inspiron. I ordered an 8000 with PIII 1GHZ, 14" super XGA+ and...

Pros: Super fast,excellent screen, very solid
Cons: Lower Resolution not as sharp.
I ordered the Inspiron 8000 with 1 ghz, 20 gig hd drive, 64 meg memory, cdrw drive 16 meg sgram video on Saturday, and it was delivered on Friday the same week. That is very fast shipping.
I added my own 128meg ram to it, so now it is at 192....

Pros: Powerful, big screen, relatively light, many programmable quicklaunch buttons.
Cons: Heaviest of new Dells
I recently bought myself a Dell computer, an Inspiron 4000, with the intent of using it throughout my college career as computer, and also as a portable DVD player for long flights and other travel. A friend of mine also bought himself a Dell, but...

Pros: Fast, stylish, big screen, and very versatile
Cons: I don't think there are any.
The Inspiron 8000 is a dream machine if I have ever seen one. I am sitting at mine right now typing this little article. I just purchased this bad boy from Dell online and have to say that I couldn’t wait to get it out of the box. I have wanted a laptop...

Pros: Great 3d graphics, fast computer
Cons: Terrible CS, Cheap plastic case, battery life, LCD panels
The computer: Heavy, low volume and poor sound quality, poor battery life. Great 3d graphics, fast processor, large screen.
Let’s not talk about the 3 defective LCD panels that Dell sent me. The quality assurance was somewhat to be desired....

Pros: It's HUGE = Large viewing area.
Cons: It's HUGE = HEAVY and awkward. Display crummy at lower resolutions.
I just purchased an Inspiron 8000, and was initially in love with this machine, but have decided to return it for something lighter and smaller.
I suppose I should have paid more attention to the dimensions when I bought it. It's 13" wide and...

Pros: Price, DVD, GeForce2!, UXGA screen
Cons: Weight, Modem fiddly
I needed a new notebook. Owning the Dell Inspiron 7000 for 3 years and only having minor problems during those periods, I decided I would go for Dell's latest 1Ghz i8000 notebook.
My system:
Intel Mobile Pentium III 1000Mhz SpeedStep...

Pros: Mind Blowing Speed, Amazing Video Quality, Fantastic Screen Resolutions!
Cons: Size I guess, but then if you want lightweight, you wouldn't buy an 8000 right?
Dell, as usual, has put the laptop market on its head. Yes, it is large, yes it is heavier, but if you are wanting light weight, you will choose something else right.
I wanted power, I wanted performance, and I wanted a large high...

Pros: Fast processor, great screen.
Cons: Everything non-hardware.
If anyone plans on buying a system from Dell, I'd give you a warning: Unless you're a corporate customer, be very careful about dealing with them.
I ordered mine in Nov. and after a somewhat lengthy delay, got the system. But it came with an...

Pros: Speed, Screen, tech support and warranty, price
Cons: a bit heavy - 8lbs
I just graduated college and will moving to Maine. I wanted a nice laptop to help me through those cold Maine nights. I shopped around and almost bought a Compaq 1700, but I went back to Dell. My laptop: PIII 700,14.1" SXGA, 128 MB SDRAM, 8x DVD, 32...

Pros: Powerful enough to be a desktop replacement, reliable.
Cons: Heavy.
I got my Dell Inspiron 8000 in May 2001 and I've been quite happy with it. I'm a professional developer and I work at the client's site on my computer.
The winning points for me were: double your memory and disk drive for free, ability to...

Pros: VERY fast with 32GB HDD, DVD play was impressive, full-featured, good value
Cons: Display backlight uneven, keyboard felt spongy, HEAVY.
I did a lot of research to find the laptop which had the feature set in which I was interested. My previous laptop was a ThinkPad, so I was setting my sights pretty high. Here are the spec's.:
PIII 800MHz
64MB RAM (added another 128MB)...
