Dell 9300 Experience Wanted

Don't that much!

Wait, there will be another massive coupon available soon. There always is.

I used a coupon for $750 off of any Inspiron over $2000.

I bought a 9300 a few months ago and am not entirely happy with it. I find the WUXGA screen hard on the eyes as everything is so small, and non-native resolution while larger looks ugly.

The trackpad is almost unusable for two reasons: (a) it is off-centre so that you tend to hit the wrong button (an incredibly stupid design decision) and (b) the buttons require so much force to depress that your thumb gets sore after a day or two.

I'm disappointed in the "look" of the screen also. My old Dell was much better. I have messed around with fonts, resolutions and viewing size. Copy and sites are blurry and do not look crisp and clear. Anyone have an idea on this? Or is this just because of the hi resolution screen?

I alway hook up a USB keyboard to type and seldom would use a touchpad so that does not bother me. Do not hook keyboard up direct to laptop, it won't boot if you do. I went thru my USB hub and it boots fine.

FWIW I got it for $1300. Do some better shopping.
