‘The Inspiron 6000 is Dell’s newest midrange widescreen laptop. Featuring the latest Intel 915GM mobile chipset and providing good performance and battery life at an attractive price, the Inspiron 6000 may be ideal for small businesses and consumers looking for a high resolution screen and plenty of multimedia features. The laptop’s external media control buttons and decent speakers help to distinguish the system, but its slightly dim display may not be up to demanding graphics tasks, games, or heavy-duty video editing. Whilst the Inspiron 6000 is not an exciting product, it’s a solid performer that offers most of the features typical users demand.’

Pocket Lint reviews the DELL INSPIRON 6000 and writes - ‘Essentially designed as a desktop alternative for those on a budget, the 6000 replaces the 8600 as the company�s widescreen offering. The most immediate difference is the colouring, gone is the dull grey and blue and in comes shiny silver and white. Not only is this a far better looking notebook but Dell has also improved the overall build quality, making for an impressive and sturdy machine….

When it comes to mixing specification with price, it seems that Dell may well have hit the nail on the head with the Inspiron 6000. While it isn�t the most portable of portables, it has enough firepower and performance to meet all your needs � as long as you opt for the discrete graphics version, that is.’

CNET reviews the Dell Inspiron 6000 and give it a rating of ‘very good’ (7.3 out of 10). They write - ‘The Dell Inspiron 6000 is a midsize laptop with an entertainment slant. The design is quite similar to that found on a number of other Dell laptops, including the Inspiron 9300 and the XPS M140. The notebook is light silver with a white trim, and it measures about 1.5 inches thick, 14 inches across, and just less than 10.5 inches deep. The keyboard is firm and adequately responsive, and it’s big enough to work on comfortably. Below the keyboard is a nice-size touch pad with two big mouse buttons. Our test unit weighed 6.6 pounds, or 7.5 pounds with the compact AC adapter–about average for a midsize and not quite light enough for comfortable travel. Overall, the case feels fairly sturdy, though the lid gives quite a bit when you push down on it. We like the silver media-control buttons that line the case’s front edge. They’re accessible even when the notebook’s lid is closed, and you can use them to adjust the volume (or mute) and toggle through tracks on a CD or scenes on a DVD. Two stereo speakers also sit along the Inspiron 6000’s front edge; they were louder and clearer than your average laptop speakers.’
