My wife's desk top tower finally had enough. Because of her work as a grade school teacher she had a school assigned laptop and had come to really appreciate a laptop's utility and convenience. We examined features, prices, etc on every laptop in the $800 and under price range and picked this model Dell from Amazon. We've both been blown away by it's display clarity, speed, ease of use, and features like full numeric keypad, built in camera, as well as the features of the loaded Windows 7 OS.

As for Amazon's performance as a seller? Exceptional! I can't promise this will be your experience, but we took the "free shipping" option available at the time, and got the computer "the next day!" This is a fine computer at a great price from an excellent retailer.

This is a great laptop that provides good performance comparing to the price.

Disadvantages:

Dell bloats the OS with unnecessary software that caused some crashes. I removed almost all Dell's software and now everything works fine.

I have been looking for a new laptop for a couple of months. I needed the best price for a laptop that suited my business needs. This turned out to be just right. I needed the large HD and lots of memory. However, I lug it around a lot, so it had to be pretty light-weight. Dell has good support, the price was good and setting it up was so easy and almost automatic. If I had to buy again, I would buy this computer. Special feature: Very few laptops have a keypad, so felt lucky that this one included it.

Honest reviews on Dell Inspiron i1564-8634OBK 1564 15.6-Inch Laptop (Obsidian Black)

I've now owned this computer for six months. My hard drive has failed once already and I'm certain it is going to fail again. It overheats whenever you run more than one program at a time. It has downright stupid fan placement. The touchpad is complete garbage and skips all over the screen while you are trying to type an email or a letter, often erasing all your work. Customer service has awful English skills and is nearly useless. I paid $600 for this and I desperately wish I could get my money back.

You might like this right out of the box, but give it six months and you'll regret your purchase.

I've had this computer for almost 3 years and finally will be able to get a new one in about a month. I didn't even know if this computer was still for sale considering it's getting rather old for the computer world. I've never had anything good to say about this laptop. The DAY after the 14-15 day return policy it died. I went through a month plus of b/s with Dell and then finally got it fixed. It freezes, crashes, key board stinks, mouse stinks, battery went to crap within the first year, etc etc etc. Overheats almost every time I use it (it's about burning the poo out of my leg right now), too embarrassed to even take it to classes with me. I paid 600-700 for this computer, never ever again will I spend that amount of money on a laptop and certainly will be getting a different brand.
