    Hi all,

    Lenovo Thinkpads come with a utility which automatically downloads the latest drivers for all components on the machine. Does Dell have anything similar for their Inspiron 6000 line?

    Thanks.

    Not really. They do have a utility call Dell Support which can be downloaded in the applications section of the drivers page (support.dell.com) but if I remember right, that only tells you when the drivers are updated. We don't have any software to download the drivers automatically.

    You can also subscribe to the drivers page so that when a driver is updated for your model, you receive an email notification.
