Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This laptop is incredibly disappointing. I would caution anyone to beware of it. At the least, try it out in person prior to purchase.
The problem is fundamental: the design. The basic hardware and software is excellent. Unfortunately, the case is so low-quality that it's impossible to use effectively.
It's such a problem to type on that I'm actually writing this revew on another computer.
The light plastic of the case bends far too readily to even the slightest pressure, even when on a flat, hard surface. The result: the cursor goes off course, wrong letters and spaces are added, and immense time is lost getting to a good written product.
Regrettably, Dell's customer service is notoriously poor as well. So this computer will soon be replaced, far earlier than it should have been. I've got a lot of sunk costs in the Inspiron and it's time to bring them to an end. This has been a very expensive mistake, and prolonging it by using it longer would be a mistake (really, if the expense weren't so great, I'd have been wise to have junked it much, much earlier).
I'm inclined to go with an Apple. There are trade-offs with any computer, but their products are tremendously well-designed and assembled in my experience, and their service is much better.
What's more, having used an iPhone and studied Apple, my expectation is that they would not risk their reputation and brand by putting out a flawed product such as the Inspiron 1440. Frankly, I don't know what Dell was thinking on this one; big, big mistake that must be bringing harm daily to their reputation and brand value. The only other experience like this I've endured was a Compaq laptop, some years ago, that ended up in the trash bin after a few months.
Almost any computer will be such a relief after trying everything to make this Dell work, that I'll surely fall in love with it and be thankful for the productivity.
