A quick review of my inspiron

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
What I have is:
9300 inspiron
Product: Intel® Pentium® M 750 Processor (1.86GHz/533MHz FSB), Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional
LCD: 17in True Life Wide Screen UXGA Display
Video Card: 128MB ATIs™ Mobility Radeon™ X300
Operating System: Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional
Wireless: Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200 Internal Wireless (802.11 b/g, 54Mbps)
Battery: 9-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery (80 WHr)
1 gig of memory

The first glaring problem has to be the keyboard. I suppose this is the standard keyboard almost all laptops get stuck with, but seeing that extra width go to waste seems such a shame.

I've played two games on the thing, brothers in arms, and lego star wars. I have no complaints with brothers in arms but lego star wars has some severe sound issues, that I'm not sure how to fix. Though games isn't why I bought this.

Overall I really like the 17 inch screen, and the performance is good. I think it looks pretty good too. After doing some work on it I was fairly happy with it. Though I wish there was a widescreen resolution lower than 1200. I did notice the memory shoot up after barely doing anything, but my performance wasn't effected so I guess I can't complain.

I should also point out I can barely hear the fan or whatever when I power it on or when I'm using it. My desktop is a lot louder. Surprised me that it's so quiet.

Overall I'd say I'm very satisfied, but not completely satisfied.

I still don't know which model you're talking about! If you want people to read your review, don't you think it's important that people know precisely what you're reviewing?

It's a 17" inch, with an x300 video card. That should be enough clues for you to figure out the model.

We shouldn't need clues though, and the model should be mentioned in the title of the thread so it would be more helpful for other users. Thanks for your review though

A person who knows enough about your product to know what you're talking about wouldn't need to read a review to find out about it.
