Dear readers, please do rate review/leave comments. Let me know through comments, if you want me to add additional information that i would have missed.

i have bought this last week.

The config which I have got is

CORE 2 DUO T7250 2.00GHz,800,2M
15.4" Widescreen WXGA+ (1440x900) TFT Display with TrueLife
2048MB (2x1024) 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
160GB (5,400 rpm) Sata Hard Drive
NVIDIA® GeForceż Go 8600M GT
Wireless + Bluetooth
Windows Visa Home Premium

Look and Feel

I have got Black Mat Finish screen. The black colour looks impressive and gives a very robust look to the notebook, however you can get the screen in additional colours as well.

Battery Life

I have got 4 Cell battery, and have got approx. 2hrs , quite frankly at 15.4'' truelife screen you should not expect much hrs but still 2+ hrs is good.

Keyboard
The keyboard is silver in colour with touchpad however there is no mouse scroll ball but i hardly used it on my previous dell.

LCD
As I have got 15.4'' Truelife screen, the results are amazing added with excellent graphics quality of NVedia card.

Sound
I found the sound to be quite good and loud so if u wana play games or listen music it won't disappoint you.

WiFi + Bluetooth can be easily configured

It has got two USB Ports on the right side and also the DVD drive is on the right

Two USB slots on the back along with S-Video out and VGA out port

Battery inlet is on the back left.

WiFi On/Off Button on left and Card readers on left along with Audio Sockets (Line In/Line Out)

On the weight side it is bit heavy approx 2.8 - 3 Kg, so if you are the one who use laptop on Bed, on Lap, it will feel bit bulky.

Touchpad is excellent with scroll (Vertical + Horizontal) bar, window key on left as most keyboards.

I have played WoW on this one as I have 256 MB NVidia card and itz impressive and as i said is supported by good quality sound output.

On the battery, the one which I got wobbles a bit, so have asked Dell support, Dell support has been good and they have sent me a set of procedures to follow to reseat the battery. I have not done that but will update this review once i have done it

Movies
Brilliant I really loved it
