I've had this computer for 9 months. I paid $700 for it on sale from Dell directly, free shipping and handling. Overall it works great and I've never had any OS or software issues. I use it for school and home only. I did elect to get XP instead of Vista because of all the problems I've heard about.
I have three issues with the computer. It's heavy, I'm a girl but not a small girl and by the time I've gotten to class my shoulder hurts. The fan turns on after half and hour of the computer being on, and it always runs hot. Thirdly, the battery life does not last as long as dell said it does. It runs about two and a half hours.
This is my second Dell and overall I'm quite happy with it and it works well for me. I can't say anything about customer service because I haven't had to call them.
 More Than $800 For This Piece of Junk? July 1, 2008

I would give this computer 0 stars if I could. From day one there was nothing but problems and issues that needed to be resolved. I put up with it for a year, and what do you know the day after my warrenty my computer hard drive crashes, making me lose everything I had on it and I had to spend almost a thousand dollars to fix it. Soon after the graphics card kept having errors and the screen would randomly shut off.
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.
Buy an HP or a Mac, they are so much more reliable and actually help when you have problems.
Good and simple. June 24, 2008

I purchased the dell inspiron 1501 a little over a year ago and was surprised at the reviews. This laptop is perfect for what I use it for: browsing the web and typing papers. I would have given it a 5 star but my lcd and it's hinge was falling off (a year into having this laptop) so I had to get it replaced. At the the time I bought it, I was given a choice of XP and Vista so I opted for XP since I heard many many bad things about Vista. Hopefully when Vista becomes a better OS, I'll upgrade but for now, I think I'll stick with XP.
Overall, it's a good and simple laptop for people that just want something that isn't difficult to use.
Works, at least a little June 2, 2008

When I purchased this computer through Dell, XP was not offered as an operating system - Vista or nothing. Vista has been incompatible with several applications including my company's virtual private network (VPN) - very annoying. Also, the built-in SD card reader never worked.
I was also disappointed at the lack of video output jack, so I can't pipe DVD video to a TV or other NTSC viewing device. Dell's power saver feature doesn't tell you whether it is hibernating, standing by, or the screen is just dark, and I have accidently shut down several times when I meant to turn it on.
I opted for the shiny screen for an extra $10, and it was a mistake. As I should have suspected, the glare makes the screen almost unreadable if your lamp is not strategically placed. My computer came with a 1-year subscription to McAfee Virus Protection, but McAfee's pester screens are simply intolerable - it's not clear that McAfee has performed a notable service and I'm dumping it. Dell has lost it's way, look elsewhere for better value.
 Why all the complaints??? May 13, 2008

I'm reviewing the same item but my notebook has Windows XP installed. I don't see why anyone is having trouble with their notebooks. I think it's probably the Windows Vista they have installed that gives them trouble. This is to review the notebook itself, not the operating system or their customer service. Some people whine too much it is makes me sick. People don't know how to take care of their stuff.
