Serves the purpose as the secondary pc around the house. Used primarily for wife's internet access

Shipped with a battery that powered the laptop for maybe 90 seconds before crapping out. Didn't bother returning since I'd already set it up to my specs while plugged in. Now, can only run while permanently plugged in

Its a very nice computer, almost everything runs great

Spacebar does not work. After trying to reset it and adjusting sticky key settings, its still not working properly. It goes into fits and acts as though I'm holding it down. Using on-screen keyboard to type this

Widescreen displays are lousy for the applications I used in my work. I believe that this is the only laptop left that can be bought with a 15 inch standard aspect display. In fact, I'll go farther and say that the lower resolution XGA display is...

Should offer larger hard drives.

We have bought 2 of these units in the past 3 months for business use. They are stable, durable, light weight and fast.Pricing is good and very close to similarly equipped desktops. The D family laptop stand is phenomenal. It is the best set-up I've...

The only issue with the units is with the Blue tooth stack, which has some serious compatibility issues with several different types and brands of PDA's.

The 530 is fast , quiet and attractive. Even the cooling fan is barely audible. Keypad has an excellent feel and the sealed keyboard is an important feature to prevent damage. My previous Dell laptop had a very noisy DVD/CD drive. The drive on the 530...

None. I am really pleased with this computer.

nice screen size, heavy duty but not too heavy to carry around, dvd player works great, keyboard very nice, touchpad moves well, sound quality great.

I can't think of one thing I don't like. I've had the computer for 3 months now.

Somewhat inexpensive, easy and relatively quick to obtain, can still spec xp pro on it. The laptop does run very queitly, cooler than some of the other Intel dual cores.

Max screen resolution of 1024x768, thats very large, websites become tough to navigate. The mouse pad and buttons are very flimsy, cheap feeling.

Good basic laptop for use with business applications. I wanted a laptop that did not have all of the "frills" but had the power to run accounting, tax and other business software. Have not been disappointed.

Not a con but would consider upgrading the screen in future purchases.

Price, function, features. I needed something versatile at home, that would allow me to not only work from home but also just surf the Internet. This provides all the capabilities that I need.

Haven't found any.

very portable size, clear screen, sturdy machine, performs well
