Dell Inspiron 600m Notebook Computer

After twelve years have desktop computer, I finally decided on a laptop so I would no longer be chained to my desk. After months of research and weighing various makes and models, I settled on the Dell Inspiron 600m notebook computer. This model has all of my expectations and at a price of hundreds of dollars lower than many competing brands exceeded.

For several months I have agonized over my next computer purchase. I knew I needed more mobilityand only a laptop would allow me to go my way "on." Nevertheless, the decision was not easy, as the number of different brands and models are there, which is mind boggling. Finally I settled on a Dell part because of the recent positive experience with the company and affordability of the product line.

The model I chose was the Inspiron 600m. As with almost everything that Dell builds, it is a "new" model, at least 600mDesignation. This is one of the confusing things about Dell and some other manufacturers: every month Dell introduces new models and you need a scorecard in comparison to other model with all. Fortunately 's website allows you to do just Dell.

Key features of the Inspiron 600m include:

Lightweight: Just over five pounds.

Mobile Centrino Technology is standard.

14.1-inch screen

Pentium M 725 processor

24X CD Burner / DVDCombo Drive

256MB DDR SDRAM DIMM Memory 1

Wireless Network Card

Extended Battery

Microsoft Windows XP Home Addition

WordPerfect Productivity Pack

I kept my computer fairly basic but I choose to use the latest version of Norton Security, a surge-cable, a wirless router and a wireless mouse. I selected the wireless mouse as I thought, the keyboard-mouse would be difficult to operate. After two days, I'll stop with the wireless mouse as fast as I used tothe built-in one.

The screen is bright and the keyboard is solid. The mouse buttons are noisy, almost clunky, one might wonder whether Dell have used a quieter spring Key for everyone.

The battery lasts at least four hours without recharging and when I need to recharge again I can go from almost dead to fully charged in less than an hour.

For the price - I paid just over $ 1100. for everything including shipping and local taxes - the Dell will not be beat. I have nothad not yet call the customer service, I would have nothing to say, although in recent years moved to your call a technician in India. This model is equipped with a standard one year limited warranty, I avoided a later sales pitch over the phone to get a three-year warranty. Their top of the line warranty sends a technician to the house to fix your computer so it can be ship option for those of you who do not want - and thereby lose the use of - your computer back from DellRepairs.

You find to be the Inspiron 600m for the business standard work sufficiently. Check out their many other models, if a lot of graphic design or if you have a bigger screen. I am happy with 14.1 screen, but you may prefer their 17-inch model.
