Dell D600 Laptop 1.6ghz 40gb DVD/CDRW B Grade Includes Genuine XP Professional restore cd!

I got this for my fiance's Bday and he loved it. We had a couple of issues with it but the sellers were very polite and helped us out very quickly fixing the problems. Customer service was great and he loves using the computer. There has been no issues with it since and it works great.

I thought this was wireless ready. I guess its my own fault and i could be more computer savy. It is a great product, I just wish I knew i had to hard line it to use the internet.

I adore mine.
I'm not a gamer or anything of the sort, I just use mine for internet purposes and college, and it's perfect. It lags a bit, which is annoying, but should be expected with the low price. Overall, I like it a lot.

I did have sme issues regarding the laptop, however i contacted the seller and they were great! i got everything i needed taken care of quickly, and they were very helpful. All and all the laptop works well.

I ordered a refurbished D600 from Dell Financial Services 3 years ago. It was a good solid laptop while I had it. Mine had 1gb of RAM and a CD/DVDROM (no burner). Mine also did not come with an XP CD or any recovery disc at all. I had an old Windows 2000 CD, so I loaded that. I tried upgrading it to Vista Home Basic. It was way slow, even with 1gb of RAM. I ran Server 2003 and Server 2008 on it for a while, to study for certification exams. I also ran Fedora and Ubuntu Linux for a while. It even ran a hackintosh version of OS X fairly well. I think the hard drive started going bad after I reformatted it so many times. I replaced the hard drive with a spare 20gb drive. This drive was tpo small for Vista, Office and all the latest patches. I went back to Windows 2000, because it was small and ran the best. I never tried it with XP, because Dell did not include the XP CD with my purchase. This was a great laptop for learning different operating systems in a test environment.

I did have a few problems with this laptop. First, the CD/DVD drive had problems booting from CDs after a while. DVDs seemed to boot ok. Second, the hard drive starget going bad. I think I just wore it out. It was easy enough to replace myself. Third, way slow with Windows Vista. I agree with the other reviewers who said it's too slow to be a gaming computer.

My biggest complaint with the D600, is that it's so darn heavy. It weighs almost 5 1/2 lbs, or over 6 lbs if you include the charger. That's just too heavy to lug around when I'm traveling. I sold it to a friend for a very good price and ordered a Dell Mini 9 netbook to take traveling. The 2.2 lb Netbook is way more convenient to take traveling. By the way, most Netbooks have a 1.6ghz processor compared to the 1.4ghz processor in the D600. Sometimes I miss the 14 inch screen, but the Netbooks small size, lightweight and portablity more than make up for it.
