Dell Inspiron 8200 review

Wednesday 25 August 2004, 4:47 AM

Good except for CD drive malfunction


I am completely happy with the product with one exception. The DVD/CD-RW combo was a huge draw at the time, but has turned into a headache. Problems started 1 yr after purchase, just type "HL-DT-ST rw/dvd GCC-4240N problem" into a search engine to find out. I would recommend buying online and choosing a different optical drive.

Verdict

The Mobile Intel Pentium 4 Processor-M performs well -- if not startlingly well -- in this desktop replacement notebook, while its GeForce4 440 Go-driven graphics performance is superb. The cost will exclude all but the most determined early adopters though.

Typical price

£ 1999

Review Although it's missing some features (chiefly HSDPA and GPS), Nokia's E63 is a well-thought-out, ergonomic and affordable smartphone.
