Despite the fact that the Inspiron line has changed so much over the past few years, there are still significant improvements that need to be made in order to keep consumer interest in the product. Here is a list of improvements that "Everyone" would like to see in the Inspiron line. I'll go through each Inspiron model individually.
Complaints
Processor: Dell should discontinue the celeron processors in its Inspiron line. The celeron processors are cheap and a disgrace to have in a notebook which has so much potential as the Inspiron. The Inspiron processor should "at the very least" start at the Pentium-Dual core. It would be so much nicer to have a Intel Core 2 Duo processor standard in the Inspiron. In Addition, Dell should offer some AMD processors in its inspiron line as well. AMD processors would fit the Inspiron nicely, because just like AMD, the Inspiron is all about Value or "best bang for the buck" I should say. Also, Dell should trim the cost of Processor upgrades. There is almost nothing that customers hate more than having to worry about the cost of upgrading their CPU.
Memory: Upgading RAM is literally the simplest upgrade that anyone can perform on a laptop. Dell NEEDS to make its memory upgrades cheaper. Honestly, why should customers pay $75 for 4GB of RAM at Dell, when Newegg.com charges just $50 for the same thing. This also goes for 3GB of RAM.
Graphics: Dell NEEDS to have dedicated graphics available and affordable on all Inspiron Models. ATI would be the best choice because their chips are cheaper than Nvidia. ATI's chips also have arguably better performance.
Battery: Dell NEEDS to make a 6-cell battery standard for all its Inspiron laptops except for the netbooks.
Hard Drive: The year is 2009 and most notebooks still don't have 7200 RPM hard drives. Dell NEEDS to have 7200 RPM hard drives available in all of its notebooks in order to make it stand out from other laptop manufacturers. Western Digital should be a primary choice for Dell.
THE CHECKLIST:
