One Inspiron died completely at three years. Having owned two Inspirons myself I can tell you that build quality is lousy, as is battery life. While the Inspiron line looks like a great buy - big screens at very low prices - you pay for that in numerous ways. In this comparison they made a couple of mistakes though.Ĭhoosing XPS was not a mistake the Inspiron line doesn't even have a 13.3' model to compare.
Regarding Dell vs Apple, usually once you configure comparable systems Apple's prices are very competitive.
