About me
<p>I purchased my Dell Inspiron 1750 17.3" laptop from Walmart 3 years ago for about $998, plus a warranty for about $120 (can't remember exactly what I paid for it) . Overall, it's in fairly good shape. I've just replaced the battery for the 3rd time using a generic version from <a target="_blank" href="http://www.BatteryDepot.com">BatteryDepot.com</a>. Here are current issues I'm experiencing:</p> <ol> <li>It, now, always makes me start in 'normal' mode</li> <li>It restarts on its own sometimes (perhaps this is because it's doing updates)</li> <li>It won't shut down, it's simply restarts, even after rebooting the disk to factory settings.</li> <li>The graphics card is not compatible with Adobe Photoshop Extended Creative Suite 6</li> <li>One of my USB ports (on the right side) is totally loose</li> <li>The SD card holder has crumbled apart</li> </ol> <p>That's about it. I'm trying to hold on to this one for as long as I can.</p> <p>Would I buy a Dell again? Maybe a higher quality version made with more durable casing, faster processor and mega media cards. I am in the digital media field and really need compatibility to the latest relative software. I'd like my next laptop to last me 5+ years, as I realize this one won't.</p>
