Dell Inspiron 8500 review

Wednesday 12 April 2006, 12:41 PM

Resilient, capable, elegant, if heavy

Have had my 8500 for some time. Love love love it. Yesterday, after 15 years of being a laptop user, I dropped it for the first time. Heartbroken at the deformed frame and jammed extra battery in the drive bay, I put the beast in my bag and went home. Several hours later it had sprung back to its normal shape! A rugged and capable contender!
