Dell's inspiron 6000 value notebook represents their entry into the value notebook market, offering a DVD+-RW drive rarely found below $1,000. Although not thin or lightweight, its 15.4-inch widescreen display and Dell Media Experience software help manage digital media. Furthermore, its silver media controls lining its front edge are accessible even with its lid closed so users can play/pause CDs, skip tracks or scenes on DVDs, adjust volume or more! Furthermore, this system costs much less than our current champion Averatec AV3270-EE1.
