I am using dell inspiron 1525 for last 3-4 years. I bought online from Dell at price approx Rs. 33000. From beginning it started giving problems as in first few months in motherboard failed and I was lucky it was in warranty . The service was good they came and changed the motherboard. Later I found USB ports are not working.
Again I raised the help request and they again came and changes the motherboard as they say everything is on-board so I was fine with it. After few days the keyboard also failed and I was lucky that time too my laptop was in warranty and they came and changed the keyboard.
After that I used laptop for one more year and my real problems started my laptop again went down and it was not getting started and I have no warranty. I approached some local repair shops but they unable to find the problem. I called dell and my surprise they told me that they cannot repair as your warranty is expired and if I need there services I need to buy there extended warranty. I told them I am ready to pay for the charges for repair and parts which they put in my laptop but they said it is not in poilcy and I need to buy extended warranty and that too I get for Rs 16555.
Home buyers please DO not go for Dell laptops they are not worth and have very poor performance and hardware quality is very bad. If you want to go for Dell then take three years warranty atleast as it will be save you from additional costs. I may cost you 4-5 thousand more but it is worth if are buying dell. otherwise go with other brands. I do not recommend DELL as my experience.
Poor hardware, bad sound quality.
