I'm not sure. I didn't look into it. I just wanted to be done with the laptop and spending hours on the phone with tech support. I ended up with a Dell and haven't had any problems.

The computer is now dated, so don't expect to have all the same features as the latest model, but if ya just want a big screen to watch dvd's and a decent experience on the web, it's good :) as for productivity, the apps on it are decent but ya can't update it, which leads to a dated experience, but still enjoyable. So if your looking for a cheap but decent experience it's good, if you want a "work horse" of a computer for productivity, then this is not it. Hope i helped a bit :)

The portable DVD player you're looking at here is not a computer laptop. All it does is play DVDs and audio and video files from the iPod. If you're looking for DVDs that include interactive games I think the Walt Disney company or some other educational company might sell some DVDs like that. Otherwise it's just a player. Not a computer. What you're looking for is a laptop. And the Eee PC might be what you're looking for. It's $400, small and light.

Sorry, I do not know the answer to this. Not familiar with any of the Dell Inspiron line of computers. It will certainly depend on the drive type(s) supported by these chassis, and may also be dependent on the operating system in use.

I have a friend who owns a computer rental business for trade shows and he was the one who recommended them to me (beyond the ones we have here at work), for they have great technical specs, are durable. They don't have the fancy "bells and whistles" of other brands and are more the "Thinkpad" of monitors.

You are welcome. If you have a Dell computer, and you can find one of these,,,,,,,,,,,, grab it.It is one of the best all-in-ones I have ever utilized.JT

Absolutely, I agree with many of the reviews that find it to be the world's best laptop. Great keyboard, and I use iWorks which gives me compatibility with MS Office for much less money, plus it is very easy to use. Keep in mind that if you need a DVD player/writer that it will be external.

Thank you for the resource. I did order the computer from Amazon. Actually when I thought about, I rarely used the DVD drive in my Acer notebook. An outboard one will be just fine for my purposes.

For that era laptop, Apple made both a larger LED cinema display (27") and smaller LCD displays (~21") that also good, so it depends upon what size you are looking for. But you display you choose is a very good one, and works well with the newer equipment as well, so I think it is a good choice.

Nickie this a all around laptop only thing it does not have is dvd drive so I suggest if you require a dvd drive go that route but if you don't require a dvd drive this laptop will handle your college needs hope my advice helps Matthew

Well if you are bored with you netbook, because it doesn't have a CD/DVD drive, slow at multitasking and a bit small I wouldn't get the inspiron duo to replace it because it is pretty much the same thing. It doesn't have a CD/DVD drive, it is a bit slow and it is small at 10.1 screen. I would get the inspiron duo instead of a ipad for sure though, because it is almost the same price and it seems like you can do more with it like for instance use flash, plus it comes with a keyboard when you don't want to touchscreen type everything. But for you, it seems a laptop might be the best choice. But the inspiron duo is really cool when it flips. :) Well if you are bored with you netbook, because it doesn't have a CD/DVD drive, slow at multitasking and a bit small I wouldn't get the inspiron duo to replace it because it is pretty much the same thing.

Yes your Inspiron 3000 with Intel Celeron G1820 is a good choice. It can definitely handle both recording and playback of HD tv shows, Blu-ray movies, etc. Just don't make the Inspiron do a zillion different things all at once while recording or watching TV.

Absolutely. Its a great and efficient laptop. I would certainly recommend it. Just realize that the screen is very small.

It all depends what you will be using for, if you would be installed certain application or programs, certainly this is good enough model for light use applications, surfing web sites. And if 17" laptop won't be heavy to carry in case you would be carry it all the time, then should work fine.
