Dell Inspiron DUO iD-4495FNT Laptop with Docking Station (Foggy Night)

• Intel Atom Processor
• 1GB DDR3 RAM
• 320GB 7200RPM Hard Drive
• 10.1-Inch Screen, Intel NM10 Express
• Windows 7 Home Premium

I bought this computer because it was a small and tablet and it had decent specs for a netbook. When it works it's great. It runs windows 7 wonderfully for web browsing and document editing. It is lacking in reliability.

I had to send it back to Dell 1 month after I purchased it because it wouldn't turn on. Dell replaced the motherboard. Around 5 months after the first repair I had to send it back in to have the palm rest(touch pad) repaired. Now, 2 months after the second repair and 8 months after purchase it won't turn on again and is going to be sent back.

I don't know about the rest of the world but I don't expect to have a computer fail 3 times in less than 9 months. I have had 2 other Dell laptops which have had no problem this model is poor quality and not up to dell's normal standards, or they have lowered their standards

The duo itself makes a fine small (10.1") computer and is quite capable even though it is a tad slow but it's not a powerhouse desktop either. When the Duo is added to the Dock it makes a fine pair. Sound from the stand alone Duo is minimal and barely a strength; however, when the Dock is added it makes a significant difference but, again, it is not a large set of stereo speakers either. I usually turn mine on in the morning and let it run most of the time just to hear the background, music or internet radio. I use an 8Gig flash drive to hold music and pictures; however, when I pair it with the desktop it will take several thousand Picasa pictures and show pictures all day. This is not a tablet but a netbook computer and well worth it. When it's time to go to the doctor and wait for what seems like forever I have my handy laptop and can use it for about 3 hours since my docs office has wireless.

I have been waiting to get this. I love the multiplicity of it, but the battery charge is barely usable! I had an HP mini with a battery usage ability of NINE (9) hours! I knew this wasn't going to be THAT good, but didn't expect to have to charge it repeatedly in ONE (1) day!! I'm a full-time college student as well s a homeschooling mom of 6, I do NOT like to be tied to a plug! If there were anything else wrong with this, I would send it back ASAP! However, I will learn to make do. Just wanted to share this tidbit for anyone else that needed that little piece of 411!

Love this netbook. The flip screen makes it even more fun. Not bulky in the tablet mode. Down fall is battery life.

I replaced a 1 year old Toshiba Netbook with the Duo. There is no comparsion. Even ignoring the difference in HD size. The Dell just works wonderfully. I have no issues with battery power, it lasts close to 4 hours, which is plenty. The screen is beautifly clear and the switch to a tablet works well. I bought directly from Dell however since they are now using a higher performance processor (also more energy efficient) that what is listed on Amazon. Also, I didn't want black. The keyboard is great and the mouse pad works better than anyone elses version that I have found. I love the docking station. I also added Android apps which I find very usefull. Dell's pricing was better than any sellers on Amazon as well. But, check around, that can change.

I cannot explain the few bad reviews, I am very happy with the device and it's perfomance. I have been in the industry for many years, so I know how to evaluate performance properly. We have 6 dell PC's in the house and have never had a issue with any. Maybe some do not know what to expect or how to understand what PC specs mean.
