nice surprise!!!!
Pros: runs cool
Cons: none yet!!!
Overall Review: Great drive for the money! I thought without a fan it would run to hot to leave connected for long periods of time, but it runs nice and cool and even when dropping 300gb in one transfer it never got more than barely warm. Great drive for the money!!!
garbage
Pros: small and good list of features/specs. Newegg saved the day in the end with their customer service.
Cons: I just sent my second defective one back. These are beat up and don't appear to be new in any way. they are rebuilt guts in old cases and not in any way refurbished to like new condition like a "factory reconditioned" item would be. If you have a NEED for a laptop, then don't take a chance and buy something new.
Overall Review: These are not rebuilt by Dell. Newegg won't give you the company who does rebuild them without you signing some agreement and consent to release your information to them. Dell definitely won't service them and if you buy the extended replacement warranty, you cannot use that until the 90 manufacture warranty is up... That is when I called and asked for a refund and spent another couple hundred on a new lappy by a different manufacture.
Not for Pros...
Pros: cheap
Cons: NOT for anyone looking to do any photo editing. I am a pro photographer, I use a spyder3 pro to calibrate my monitors and this one simply won't calibrate. The reds are neon orange and the black level is poor. I don't recommend this monitor to anyone, but for a pro it is absolute garbage.
Overall Review: I have never seen colors so poorly represented as on this screen. Also, please note that newegg doesn't take returns on monitors, so don't do like I did and try to save a few bucks thinking you can send it back if you don't like it.
