Dell

I have an older Inspiron 1150 and it works great. I have been using this laptop for several years now and my only issue was that I had to upgrade my ram as the factory 256 was not sufficent for what I do and now it is 1gig with a 3.33gig processor. Is this your first laptop? How long does your battery last? Some of the older laptops had longer battery life but that caused excessive heat and shorter computer life. So enstead of increasing the durability of the system they lower the battery life, thus increasing the laptop life span. My battery only lasts for between 45 and 80 minutes. Another option is, make sure that your battery is fully inserted. Sometimes you may think that it is all the way in when it is actually out and not making a good connection so you can pull it out and look at the connections for corrosion and if there is corrosion clean them if not reinsert it fully. Have a wonderful day and I hope this helps!

I have a Dell Inspiron I purchased in January. It works fine. Just some friendly advice: You should tell them about it before your year is up.

well my dad has an inspiron and that is dam good. i can tell you he has a bettery life of at least 2 and half hours working on excel and that also with mild volume music. and also one of my friend has a latitude and that is better then the inspiron. it has a 3 hours min battery life and that also with music and video. plus there is very little heating problem. i think dell is a very good company to buy and i am planning to buy a dell studio for my next lappy

ahh.. dell, I have heard both good and bad about dell laptops. I had a dell inspiron for a few years and that thing gave me so much trouble. 2 years ago it was to the point that it was unbearable to use that I just used my desktop. Then for christmas I got a brand new Compaq laptop, and I haven't had any problems, at least not any that were really bad!

It could be angry because of the way you were treating it. Laptops aren't intended to be plugged in at all times, and if you didn't let it get low in between charging it, then that could also have run the battery down. Worst case, just take the battery out and use the charger on it's own. (That should help it not overheat, if it's a battery issue.) I'd try to arrange getting a new battery. Check to see if the laptop is still under warrantee. Best of luck.

I have a Dell Inspiron 8500. I bought it from my son two years ago and he had used it for 3 years prior to that at his work. It has never given me a minutes' trouble. It still has the same 2 hr battery it had when he bought it. I hardly ever use the battery, though, because I use it in the Den and just hook it up to the electricity. And,if I take it out with me,I do the same. I may take it off the electricity and take it in the computer room sometimes to print off something.We have wireless and the printer has somehow gone astray from my laptop. I'm going to have to have my son check that out one day. My husband changed the set up on the printer, and now I can't pick it up here. I would definitely buy another Dell laptop. We bought our grandson a Toshiba with the works last year for graduation. But we bought his sister a Dell for her graduation this year because she wanted a green one (his is blue) and Dell is the only one we could find. We also got her the green wireless mouse to go with it. And she loves it.

I bought a dell inspiron 6400 a month ago,it's a big laptop with 15.4 screen and the screen is perfect.the 6-cell battery can last about 2 hours.
