Question : What’s up with Dell’s uber cheap new laptops?
I’m thinking of the Vostro A90, or the Inspiron 15 (not counting the netbooks). These are computers that are in the 300-400 dollar range…yet I had to notebook shop not more than 4 months ago and these were nowhere to be seen.
What’s with all the new, cheap laptops? Are they any good?
Yeah, I ended up getting a pimped out Dell Latitude 4 months ago, back when the E5500 base price was like 700. Brought it up to about 900, that thing works beautifully.
I’ve also noticed the new E5500 are a couple hundred dollars more expensive than they were before these super cheap ones were released…

They are massed produced with cheap parts. In the computer world, you get what you pay for. If you are just going to be writing term papers and surfing the internet then this is a good buy. If you plan on using it for multi media purposes such as photo shop, gaming, and video editing, don’t even try. They have cheap graphics engines, usually a cheap Intel chip. Also you need to realize that while Dell has made a name for itself, the only reason they can sell is because they are cheap. Save your money and buy a NICE laptop for around 800. You won’t regret it.
