Review Dell Inspiron 9400

 

XPS is not the only notebook by Dell, which is excellent, when us ...

Solid, rigid case, good interface equipment and positioning, user-friendly input devices, sharp and bright display with excellent contrast relation, very good performance data in games and application sectors, low temperatures and noise emissions,...

smaller deficiencies of workmanship, brightness distribution below average

The application benchmark PCMark 2005 uncovered a small surprise. The Core 2 Duo CPU at 2,0 GHz clearly wins against a T7600 CPU with 2,33 GHz of Alb R20. The reason should be the clearly weaker video card of R20, because the video card has a small...

Dell Inspiron 9400 with Core 2 Duo and Nvidia 7900 GS Review

 

I initially purchased the notebook over the phone with a representative from Dell Canada, but the order was cancelled, more on that later. I then went to the actual Dell Direct Kiosk and ordered it from there

Cheap, great value ; Great performance due to a blazing fast processor and an extremely powerful GPU ; 6 USB ports ; Great keyboard ; Fantastic Screen ; Great build

Gets pretty hot ; Loud fans ; Lack of PCMIA slot ; No numberpad ; Pretty bulky and heavy

Here is my biggest complaint about Dell, their customer support. I ordered my laptop on September 19 and it didn't arrive until October 10, 20 days later. During that time, my order got cancelled and I had to reorder it. I initially ordered on the...

Vendor Doesn't Honor Warranty

Dell Inspiron 6000 battery was defective from the start. None of the status indicators on the battery worked. However, the battery did seem to charge so we figured it was OK. After about 6 months, the battery charged intermittently. Windows would...

Battery works but felt misled

 

Battery works but felt misled

I've used the battery for a couple of weeks and it works fine in my Dell Inspiron. However, I felt misled to receive a generic battery when the battery I was looking at on the page was Dell brand.

Replacement Battery for Dell Inspiron E1705

 

Replacement Battery for Dell Inspiron E1705

In my view, Dell doesn't seem to be too interested in selling replacement batteries for their laptops. This battery works extremely well and gives me well over 2 1/2 hours on a single charge. I have a large laptop and run additional items from it...

So far so good!

Granted i have only used this product for about a month, but it works perfectly thus far. Holds a charge for a long time and is 100% compatible. Hopefully this will continue!!!!

Is compatible, but didn't last.

Like the above reviewer said, it's a battery. Pretty much it either works or it doesn't. The battery showed up as advertised, but is already completely dead after I just purchased it at the end of April. I'm no computer expert, so there could be...

All I really need to say - is no complaints. And really, it's a battery. What else would I need to say?
