| mrbluesky's Full Review: Dell Inspiron 5000e Series |
My wife got me a Dell Inspiron 5000e laptop for Christmas (great gift, huh!!) I have been nothing but satisfied with it since.
So far, I have had no trouble with the functionality of it at all. It's always booted correctly, and shut down correctly. Its always worked flawlessly while booted. What more could I have asked for? Nothing. (quite amazing since it has a Microsoft OS)
The DVD player is a great one. I use the DVD on airplanes while I travel. It really cuts down the flight time on long trips. It adds an extra piece of luggage that you have to carry along, but its been worth the weight. The display is exceptional, even when running off the battery and playing a DVD. When I play a movie on a plane trip, I tend to have people watching the movie over my shoulder (I turn on scripting for them out of courtesy....I don't mind). One lady stood behind me practically the whole way from Tucson to Milwaukee to watch a movie I was playing.
With the DVD player installed, I can hook the laptop to my television, and instantly have a DVD player for the TV. With special speakers hooked up to the laptop, the sound is incredible!
The modem has been very reliable so far. It tends to connect faster than my pc upstairs, and holds the connection better. Its nice to have in the motel room while travelling away from home.
I've had to call service one time. Apparently, the display is a little fragile because the plastic housing cracked. Dell sent a service tech without question and it was replaced.
I highly recommend it if you're looking for a reliable laptop.
