Dell Inspiron 510m review

Friday 25 June 2004, 10:47 PM

So far so good

Placed my order on Monday luchtime and the machine arrived by Thursday. Invoice arrived the day after. No need for support so far, hence the rating. Seems solid enough, though the keyboard is a little mushy, especially when the keys aren't hit centrally -- probably more my lazy typing style.

Fairly pleasing to the eye... and also the pocket; I think this is a neat little machine which is built to last and be upgradable. In short, everything I was looking for. Would recommend to others.

Put simply, what is the compelling reason to pay ~$200 extra for an Eee with Windows XP? A Windows Eee won't come with any useful applications and you'll have to buy anti-virus software to boot. The truth about low cost computing is that nobody really cares whether the machine is running Windows or Linux as long as its cheap, its easy to use and it works.
