(More customer reviews)Ok, so this may seem like I'm underrating the laptop, so I'm going to start with the pros :)
1) good display
2)good speakers
3)good size/weight for mobility
3)cool design
4) fast in terms of everything BUT GAMING
Ok, now the cons
1)graphics are a joke. You can only play games made 3 years earlier, otherwise you'll notice a lagggggggg
2)HHHOOOOTTTTT - this laptop overhears way too easily.... It actually gets past 180 degrees f if you play a game for 10+ minutes
3)HD movies? Nope. If you enjoy laggy 1080p, Shuuure. But otherwise stick to 720p or 480p
4) not really loud speakers... I'd say they're not the loudest speakers ive had, so I bought a few extra headphones and speakers for it.
5) paint fades because of the heat, basically meaning I can't sell it without paying $100+ for replacement hand rests.
6) hardware problems - I noticed there are 2 audio outs....windows only supports 1 audio out, so that makes one of them useless, unless the other breaks, or you find special software to get both outputs to work.
7) battery goes in a flash.... 3-4 hours was advertised when I bought it... I only got 1 hour when I clicked power saver settings, so I bought a 9 cell battery instead... This got me 3 hours, and now it's dying (only about 2-2 1/2 hours now)
I think Dell had a wonderful idea for this laptop, but it definitely needs some refining. If they fix everything above and add a few features, then I'd be glad to buy the new updated laptop.

(More customer reviews)OK I have to brag, had a friend at Dell give me a 17% off discount when I ordered my computer system. Then he emails me a 30% off coupon for a printer and asked if I needed one. Wasn't planning on getting a printer, but with that discount I had to see what was available. When I saw the 30% was ADDED to the 17% system discount I had to jump on it. Bottomline it cost me $380! LOL
It's pretty new but I managed to find one review to make sure it was good before I bought it. Am I Glad I did. Just found another review at MacWorld that placed it second to the $800 Xerox, basically because the Xerox is more quiet.
Even at the regular price of $650 it's a great buy. Manufacturers are notorious for BS on their print speeds, but this thing smokes! It's very close to the 23 ppm advertised speed, but what's really amazing is how quick it spits out the first page.
The important part, flash and features aside, the print quality on black and white text is amazing, incredibly sharp. The color is good, but on some photos I think the output needs to be calibrated, makes some images a little reddish.
Love most of the features, it's nice to be able to scan pages right to your computer as a pdf file to easily email.
The ONLY donwside I have with this computer which was a disappointment is that I couldn't set it up to email a scanned image directly from the printer. For some dumb reason the software to set it up to email docs asks for the primary smtp gateway address, but only accepts a numerical address instead of textual(like you would enter with outlook) so bottomline I spoke with 4 different Dell techs and none of them could make it so it could email via my qwest account's smtp server. So that is a feature I would have liked, but unless Dell comes up with a fix I won't be able to. That being said I can scan to my computer and then attach doc to email, but an unnecessary extra step.
As for noise, it's a little loud when in action, but I think that's typical for color lasers and not any louder than some HP's I have tested in stores.
Copy speeds are great and images are very close to originals. Scanned images look great as well.
If you are tired of slow and expensive to use color ink jet mfp's, take the step up to laser with this great offering by Dell, you won't be disappointed!

JLab USB Laptop Speakers - Portable, Compact, Travel Notebook Speaker for PC and Mac - B-Flex Hi-Fi Stereo USB Laptop Speaker - Pearl White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great sound from a little package. This is the tiniest unit and you would never guess but it has a huge sound for it's size. I have an Acer laptop which I love. It's performance is practically flawless --- Except the speakers, which are the worst. You can barely hear music from them. So I purchased these speakers for a boost in sound and they work great. I think they're priced a little high, but they do have a tremendous sound for the size. Very portable and easy to take along.I would recommend them for the traveler. There a great addition for a laptop with low sound performance and very portable.

Dell V305 All-in-One Printer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Always having to troubleshoot through problems...a 2 minute print job turns into an hour. Ink cartridges do not last long at all. After the color ink that came with the printer ran out, I have never been able to get another color cartridge to work. Do not buy this printer!
