Up for sale is a top-of-the-line Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop computer. The most impressive feature of this particular model is its super-high-resolution 15.4” display: At 1920x1200, it is the highest-resolution widescreen display ever made for laptops. Most other models of the Inspiron 6000 only have 1280x800 resolution. I love this laptop so much that I've owned it for eight months, which is extremely rare for me. But after getting two R50p's with QXGA displays, I no longer need this Dell.

Here are the detailed specs of this computer:

15.4” 1920x1200 display

1.6GHz Pentium M processor

1.5GB PC2-4200 RAM

60GB hard drive

CD burner + DVD-ROM combo drive

Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 Certificate of Authenticity sticker

Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 installation DVD

Dell driver CD

Four USB2 ports

Internal wireless card with support for 802.11a, b and g

Ethernet and modem

External monitor, TV-out, IEEE 1394 (i.e. FireWire), microphone and headphone ports

SD card reader

PCMCIA slot

A battery that holds about 1 hour of charge

AC adapter


I will include two bonuses: 1) a Mediterranean Blue QuickSnap Color Kit to protect the lid (see second photo), and 2) An extra, DVD burner drive which has difficulty reading CDs but seems to work fine with DVDs (see third photo).

The overall condition of the machine is very good, although parts of the palm rest have turned a little dark (see first photo). Also, the display lid has a "play" of around 1 inch, which was already the case when I first got the laptop and it hasn't gotten any worse.

Nice Dell! I think this well sell nicely here. Personally I am not a fan of the Insprion series of Dell. I prefer the latitude series, but with as high resolution screen like that, someone willl buy it. With that QXGA screen on your R50p, this must really see low res for you .

Very nice clean machine with good specs and fair price.

I love that blue colour on the lid...very nice. Price seems good too - if I was over in the US, I'd possibly have found a birthday present for my mother (hers is next Monday, and I don't think she'd be too fussed with a good second hand laptop)

Thanks you all for the kind words! I just sold it locally for $440 (equivalent to $455 shipped). I could have waited longer for a higher offer but was impatient.
