Australian Dell Computer representatives say the company is close to completing a local service campaign to replace flawed motherboards in Inspiron 2650 laptop computers manufactured between mid-November and mid-December 2002.
Dell has denied that it will no longer offer Ubuntu on Inspiron systems sold in the UK, and has maintained that a problem which meant that some customers were unable to buy the software pre-installed has now been fixed.
Dell has launched an inexpensive laptop with a small keyboard and screen, dubbed a netbook, four months after it was originally anticipated that the Texan firm would enter the netbook market.
After the issues around its notebook computers last year, Dell now finds that open season has been declared as it faces legal action in Canada from a user who complained that the company carried on selling the computers after it knew they suffered from problems.
Owners of Dell Inspiron notebooks have reported that Microsoft's Windows Service Pack 2 is cutting their system speeds dramatically -- in some cases by a factor of almost ten, from 2.6GHz to 300MHz.
Banner adverts for Dell and Optus were appearing on the Pirate Bay Web site earlier this week -- until ZDNet Australia published a story revealing the fact.
Sure, better 3G coverage is good for competition, but it's what you do with the 3G that will ultimately make the difference. As Vodafone expands its network footprint, the practice of selling 3G-enabled netbooks like mobile phones should really resonate with end users.
The Inspiron 9100 is probably one of the best notebooks around that can truly replace the desktop PC, offering speed and excellent 3D graphics performance.
If ever there were a case for Dell to do a Texas two-step to AMD, analyst says, the Compaq nx6125 might just be it.
Product design chief John Medica has a big job ahead -- jazzing up Dell's image with computers that capture the public's imagination.
Not ready for a Vista laptop? Simply want to stick to good old XP? Here are your options on the market.
The concept of mobile computing rings familiar in this day an age. The ability to access information on the go is a compelling weapon in the competitive business landscape. This guide is aimed at helping SMBs stay ahead of the game.
The Dell Inspiron 15 is likely the best bang for buck you'll get for AU$1000, from its battery life to its upgrade options. We do miss the numpad, but the rest is perfect for the budget-conscious user.
The Dell Inspiron 13 is great for those hampered by a tight budget, but who still want a competent and power-efficient thin-and-light notebook with a decent design.
The Dell Inspiron 9400 packs a solid set of multimedia features, and when configured with Intel's Core Duo processor, it has enough power to speed through virtually any task, from editing video to playing games.
The Inspiron 6400 is a desktop replacement notebook, offering up the familiar silver and white-accented design that's common to the Inspiron line. It's not exactly a stunner, but you certainly won't be ashamed to tote it around whilst in the public eye.
We recommend the Dell Inspiron 9200 to home users who want an awesome, relatively portable, desktop-replacement laptop with cutting-edge features and solid performance.
