Midwestjack's Review of Dell Inspiron 8500 Laptop

I have owned this laptop for over 5 years. No joke. In that time I have upgraded the RAM and upgraded the HD - both to improve performance. Recently, after 5 years that is, I have had to replace a burned out graphics card (I'm surprised it lasted as

Review of Dell Inspiron 8500

It heats up, battery life is rubbish, and under the warranty they say certain things aren't covered, so make sure you read the small print. I have a work laptop which I use too. It is an IBM Thinkpad. It is not as big as a Dell laptop, but it is dur

There is a reason why Dell offers several different levels of technical and product support -- great service and product support costs Dell more than basic service and limited support. In general, customer service in the computer industry stinks. I do not know how much it costs a computer company...
