I'm using this in my Dell Inspiron 6400 to record my vinyl collection with Roxio's Easy CD 5 software.
I had used a previous Creative laptop sound card model in my old Dell Inspiron 6000, but the 6400 needs an Express card, hence the purchase. Works fine and comes with a lot of software that, if you haven't already got an equivalent, is a bonus. Slightly neater / smaller styling than the last one.

I bought this soundcard as my laptop's normal headphone jack had broken and I wanted to plug headphones in so that I could listen to music and watch videos without disturbing other people. This works brilliantly in this job as now I have a working headphones port.
The sound quality is very good in my opinion for these tasks (I'm not using my laptop for music creation or any other high end use so I cannot comment on this).
The biggest gripe I have with this soundcard is that it sticks out. If I want to move my laptop around, I need to take the soundcard out so that I don't break it. Also, another issue I have is that if I pull out my headphones from the port it can sometimes take the soundcard out with it - to counter this I have to hold the soundcard when I want to take out my headphones; this is just a minor inconvenience. However, these issues does cause me to give it 4 stars and not the full 5.
All in all - a very good product.
