Review of Dell Inspiron 5100 Laptop
It does, at least, work. You have to keep it up on blocks (for airflow) and forget about going anywhere with it as it overheats before the battery life is even an issue... keep it at home, don't recommend this dell inspiron laptop .

Decent
It works for basic navigation. Pros The mapping display and speed of re-routing. The holder for the windshield is solid. It tells you the street names your are looking for, although the phonetics are very basic. Cons The voice. No repeat last instr

Review of Dell Inspiron 5100 Laptop
Personally, I'm in a love/hate relationship with this thing. usually love wins. I can run a gamut of programs on it at the same time doing memory-eating activities (firefox, winamp, trillian, photoshop, painter) with no problems with them working or
PROS: Has a pretty nice processor for one of its era, good workhorse machine. can pretty much take whatever you can throw at it.
CONS: Overheats way more than necessary. must clean vents with compressed air biweekly or risk overheating/frying mobo. Has speaker/mic plug problems (plastic parts break).

"nice try but no cigar"
The text to speech feature is great, as is the Zagat ratings and real view.Problem is the things that are most important in a GPS --clear speech and good directions -- are lacking. The routing is downright mystifying, like taking you to the other sid
PROS: text to speech, zagat ratings, real view
CONS: screwy routing, poor voice quality

PROS: 1. Traffic control 2. Maps 3. Design

"Top notch GUI/graphics"
As a GUI (Graphical User Interface) touch panel designer for A/V control systems a major concern of mine was a good looking panel with nice graphics. That may seem odd to some people, but I knew I would have to live with this device on a regular basi
PROS: Animated menu interface, free traffic reports, 3d reality view, great looking industrial design, nice mounting device
CONS: Price could be a little lower and the volume of the unit really needs to be reworked to be louder. The loudest setting is really not loud enough

"My Recommendation: Buy"
I've never been much interested in GPS systems, but having recently moved to a new city I decided to take the plunge. A friend recommended the Navigon and I have to say that so far I've been delighted. It's hard for me to believe that the CNET review
PROS: Easy, easy, easy...and did I say easy?
CONS: A little big, a little slow to boot up.
