Advantages: good price, lots of speed Disadvantages: too many added trial programs
I purchased this laptop because I needed a reliable portable computer for business and personal use. So far, it has exceeded all of my expectations! It comes with Windows Vista, which was easy to adapt to after using Windows XP for so long. It comes with many programs already loaded as trial subscriptions. I'd rather be able to choose the programs I want and purchase them as needed. But it only took a few minutes to remove the programs I did not ... ...battery holds a good charge for an hour or more, depending on how many extra things you have plugged into the laptop. The keyboard layout is large and the actual letter keys are the same size as a regular keyboard. Easy to adapt to and use if you have been using a typical keyboard. The touchpad works nicely but I opt to use a wireless laptop or notebook mouse. ...

Advantages: Fast, Dependable, Easy to Use Disadvantages: None
...all thank me for the recommendation. I will be a Toshiba fan from here on out. To add to all of this---you get a great product for your money. I would even spend more money for a pricier Toshiba and not feel bad about it when I leave the store. ...

Advantages: Looks nice, good memory and price Disadvantages: warranty was worthless
I had this notebook and it started to go bezerk. It wouldn't accept any typing and would only work with the mouse. I called the tech support because it was still under warranty. They told me it was a software glitch and tried to walk me through the fix. After about 1 1/2 hrs of frustration I was told to send it back. They sent a box to send it back with. I complied and within days of sending it UPS, and 2 days of calling them and asking about it, ... ...turned to frustration when I realized the notebook was as I sent it. I called thier 1800 # and was told that there was an unidentified liquid in the unit, most likely animal urine. My laptop stayed on nmy bedroom desk and I have a cat but he sure didn't "Go" on my desk. I was livid and asked why they didn't call or contact me to tell me or offer to allow me to pay for repairs. I was told they could fix it in a repair shop and the closest was in Rome ...

Advantages: Comes with great standard specifications Disadvantages: Can start to get pricey
...not when you buy a dell computer, you pretty much choose the whole thing to be built to your choice, which if you aks me means that the order process is all part of this pc!!
Now I've had my dell inspiron 1520 for nearly a year ( i'm even writing this review using it!) and even though you can order it to your specification, this model wasn't changed much from the basic spec so it gives a good insight into standard etc.
First off, upon ringing through ... ...order twice saying ''thats the dell inspiron in black with...'' I found this to be the most annoying thing as if it wasn't for the fact that it was this exact pc I wanted I would have at that point taken my business elsewhere. Its' not like I was asking for a lot of difficult unusual specs or extras - it was basic with a couple of simple things.
My pc did take quite a while to arrive, due to them waiting on parts which I can understand so just a ...
