Inspiron 9200 - Excellent Notebook
Just wanted to post that I got my new i9200 a couple of days ago and it is great. I owned the HP ZD7000 for the last year or so. While I was happy with it, I just wanted a better screen - and I have always been extremely impressed with my dell notebooks (8200 and 300m).
The i9200 has a clean and sharp aesthetic and the screen is incredible after looking at the HP. Putting them side by side, the HP has a slight grey/yellow tint, where the i9200 is bright white. The only thing I wish this came with was Windows MCE with TV tuner. I had that on the HP and enjoyed it.
Hope everyone else has been happy with their i9200 as well.
- I agree with you. I've only had the 9200 for 2 days and I was skeptical about the concerns raised on multiple sites including this one regarding the UXGA screen. I am quite pleased with the screen. I also have an I8200 with a UXGA and both are awesome screens. Thus far I love everything about this machine. I would not hesitate to recommend it.
I'm really happy to hear this! My 9200 (WUXGA) should come on Dec. 14th, and I was pretty scared about all these discussions around the UXGA screen. I also own an I8200 UXGA and I'm very happy with it. Another question:
Did you received the OS and drivers cd with your system?
Thanks!

- After having my i9200 for five days I too am very pleased with the computer. I have the wxga display which I find to be very bright and clear.The only thing I'm not pleased with is that they no longer give you a recovery Cd with drivers on it, the OS Cd however is there.Tony Merc

they stopped putting drivers on the disks cause they are available online, you can simply make your own recovery cd by downloading everything and burning it to a disk, yeah a little more work, but what are ya gonna do :PGizzmo0411

I also just received my i9200 two days ago and am very impressed. It's about twice as powerful as my desktop.It does things that I was skeptical about as well. Plays all top line games without any overheating (just gets warm) and quality of the components are obviously top line. Touchpad sensitivity is perfect, and the screen is just awesome. I recommend it to anyone.

Which screen resolution do you have? I've read some reports of people unhappy with the WUXGA screen for reasons I can't fully understand, where those with the WXGA screen seem very happy.
Also could you comment on the quality and function of the touchpad if you use it. Is its control precise, etc. Thanks.
