Dell Inspiron 6400

I have tried all the new Dell laptops they have been putting out over the past 3 years or so, with hopes they might have something as good or better than my Dell Insipiron 6400 -- and nothing comes close! This machine is simply made the way a computer should always be made. I imagine the only thing that might be as good is a Macbook, though have never been able to get on the Apple bandwagon. Why is this so good? First, I got mine with the best screen offered, a high res 1080p, 15.4 screen -- and its incredibly good! Nowadays, Dell and others are putting out the 15.6 screens which just plain suck (they are longer and shorter, about 10 percent smaller in fact). Second, the keyboard is made for someone to type with ease and comfort. I have tried the plasticky, "chiclet" fancy shmancy marketing hyped keyboards on all of the latest, and none can match the size, placement, ease and comfort of my keyboard. Speakers? This computer has a pleasing sound with none of the tinny, metallic radio tones of the present computers being made. Speed? Supposedly, my Centrino dual core in the Inspiron 6400 ought to be slower than the more advanced I7 or I5 Intel things you find today, but honestly I can hardly tell a difference. The Dell Inspiron 6400 has also lasted 6 years of my day/night use on a daily basis -- 6 years for me is like 12 years for an average computer user -- yet it still works great. The only two issues? The shell of the computer has seen the grey fade to white in parts and I need to replace the battery...

This is the best Dell, perhaps the best Windows, laptop ever!

Believe you will love it.

My parents decided to give me a Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop as gift when I graduated from elementary school. It's been 3 years already and for a 3rd year high school student like me, it's the best laptop ever!

PROS:

-Wide screen, great for viewing movies and such

-Large memory (I have 3 online games installed and several PC games)

-It's great for travel too, battery lasts as long as 5-6 hour for me, enough for an-out-of town trip

-It's not heavy.

CONS:

-Kinda slow, but when I updated from Windows Vista to Windows 7 Ultimate, the speed was amazing

-Had to change the battery pack after 2 years.

Overall, this is an amazing laptop. If you're a person who likes playing online games, watching movies, surfing the net, traveling and taking photos and videos, this laptop is for you. I absolutely thank my parents for giving me such a wonderful laptop.

Had this Inspiron 6400 for 5 years never any problems with it.

This machine was on everyday for at least 12-16 hrs, used it at home & at work.

My three kids used it for surfing the net and also playing games.

I have been preaching about this laptop for years even to all the nay sayers, evn though they had to buy other desktops or laptops in the last 5 years.

I would like to get another one but I doubt that I will ever get one that will last as long as this one is lasting.

I recommend Dell Laptops to everyone that will listen as they are in my opinion one of the best on the market.

Best regards,

The WORST laptop ever, it is SOOOOOOO slow and constantly freezing, I have disabled background services and startup programs and it is still slow and freezes.

Secondly, the computer says there is NO BATTERY PRESENT and will only run off the short power cable. But when you remove the battery and do a test on it with the battery tester, it says FULLY CHARGED.

Basically, don't buy this laptop as I really regret buying this and am now going to have to pay more money for another laptop.

An excellent laptop :)

Ever since I've gotten this computer 2 years ago I haven't done anything but try and fix it... and its never easy! There aren't any dell shops, so everything is done on the phone which is frustrating for me, takes forever. If there is anything wrong you have to fix yourself while on the phone with someone who can be difficult to understand! The battery does not last long, my keyboard has been replaced twice, and the screen is loose and doesn't stay put... I have not been pleased with this product at all! I do not recommend Dell Inspiron 6400.

I am happy with everything. I have had no problem at all with this model. It works great.

I have been using this laptop for little over a year.

Issues I had with this system

- Some keys stopped working after 1 year, was replaced

- Silver paint around the touchpad area faded, was replaced

- Front media keys got a little hard to press. Had to use more pressure to get it to work, also paint on the media keys chipped out, was replaced.

All the above was replaced for free as it is under warranty.

The laptop is very quiet and never heats up. It provides good performance for its price range. Dell service is very good. Nice big 15 inch screen. My battery is slowly dieing though (now lasts for little less than 2 hours). Sound quality is very very good (well done Dell!).

Powerful, good looking laptop. Worth the money until you hit a problem and you need to phone the helpline.

Dell laptops and pc's are good. but if you have a problem beleive me you will get nowhere.

Listen up dell, uk sold pc then you have to give us a uk natural english speaking helpline.
