In January 2025, Dell announced its intentions to retire the Inspiron brand (along with the XPS and Latitude lines) in favor of a singular brand that emphasizes the "Dell" name as part of the company's preparation for their next-generation AI PCs.[2][3][4][5] Other brands such as HP have also done a similar practice, with HP retiring most of their other brands (such as the Pavilion and Spectre) in May 2024 in favor of a singular "Omni" brand for their own line of AI PCs.[6][7]

The Dell Inspiron lineup consists of laptops, traditional desktops, and all-in-one desktops.
Dell was the subject of a class action lawsuit in 2005 over some of their Inspiron laptops (models affected include the 1100, 1150, 5100, 5150, and 5160). The suit was filed in September 2005, and was officially settled between December 2006 and January 2007, in what is known as the Lundell Settlement.[8] There were a number of design flaws in this model, ranging from flaws in the cooling system of the notebook to a tab on the "C" panel pressing on the motherboard. In all, the design flaws caused the notebook to shut down suddenly or not to boot at all. The suit had been filed in Ontario, Canada; claimants said that the laptops suffered premature motherboard failures caused by overheating shortly after the warranty period had ended.[9]
