New Battery for an Old Dell Laptop by doctorrouse on dell.com Apr 26, 2012
I never realized how much life my Dell Inspiron has. My old batter wouldn't last but just a few minutes, now I can go for hours on end. 9 simple cells have done the trick. Thank you DELL!

My wife is a former tier 2 computer consultant and I have been working with computers for 25 yrs. Neither of us could get this machine to perform. When we called Dell's "service" center in Bombay, we got the run around for 2 hrs. We are shipping it back. DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE!

Dell Inspiron 15 (M5030) Budget Notebook Review
Very inexpensive; Comfy keyboard; Much faster than similarly priced netbooks; Runs cool...Lackluster benchmark scores; Bland design; No HDMI; Relatively short battery life...For $349, about the same price as a premium netbook, you can nab the Dell Inspiron 15 M5030...The Inspiron 15 M5030 is a basic black rectangle that weighs 5.6 pounds, with nary a curve or sleek line in sight...The Inspiron 15's profile is fairly attractive, but the overall look of the laptop...

Great big widescreen to work on Power to spare for most tasks...Missing video connections Offset keyboard with a too-small number pad...There's no denying that the 1564 has a lot of power--but with so few ports on this laptop, how are you going to make use of it...I like a lot of Dell's newer laptops, and I had hoped to like the company's newly Core i5-enhanced Inspiron 15 (1564 variant...This model has a lush widescreen and isn't too...
