Dell has always claimed that, with its Inspiron line of laptops, consumers can expect cutting-edge technologies at a competitive price. So it comes as no real surprise that the Dell Inspiron 9100 is the first laptop we’ve seen that takes advantage of Intel’s latest 3.2GHz Pentium 4 desktop processor. It is considered as one of the top 10 new laptops introduced. What’s new about this processor is that, it is the first version of the Prescott chip that moves the technology to 90nm. To support this processor power, Dell has fitted the Inspiron 9100 with 1024MB of PC3200 memory. Once again, this is a desktop rather than mobile specific component. Fortunately, Dell has opted to use a fast Hitachi drive, which has a capacity of 60GBand a running speed of 7200rpm.
The Dell Inspiron 9100 ranks high on performance, features, and core components, which include the 3.2-GHz desktop Pentium 4, 1GB of RAM, and a powerful ATI Radeon 9700 graphics solution. This high-end multimedia desktop replacement notebook is a winner among its peers. But, along with Dell Inspiron 9100's various advantages, a number of drawbacks are also found while using the notebook. The users feel that, Dell Inspiron 9100 is not for everyone. It is big, heavy and expensive. It has USB on the back, no RS232, no Parallel, and no PS2 ports. No Flash Memory Reader at all in the notebook. The Power Brick is huge. Only One PCMCIA slot and one IEE1394 Port are there.
