I bought this Laptop for the purpose of doing my course work. I thought to myself, yeah its cheap but it looks good and it will obviously do fine for my College work ! Well after about an hour of playing around with it the only word is … Wow ! ! The laptop is not only cheap it is by far the best computer system I have bought ! It looks wow, it works, wow, and the features … WOW !!!
The webcam and the software that comes on the laptop for the webcam is really good ! I don't think I could have asked for much better never mind expected !
The last computer system I had, had a built in mike, as does this one and the difference is astounding ! I can be in the hall, speaking quietly and the person I am having a video call with is able to hear me loud and clear ! I was very impressed !
It has wireless built in which is great because it saves me having to look for my wireless adapter all the time ! And it is easy to connect wherever i am, my house, my friends or anywhere else !!
The man in the shop did say that it had Bluetooth on it but after looking around the internet I discovered another attachment is need to enable this. (to the best of my knowledge)
I got Norton anti-virus when I bought the laptop and I have never once had a problem, I would suggest getting a good anti-virus software because there is nothing worse than have a great, fast working system and then getting a virus !
The battery life is reasonably good, you can choose to put your laptop into power saver mode which makes the battery last longer. I myself have never done this, always choosing to use high performance. Usually my battery lasts approximately 2 hours which does me great !
Overall I could not ask for anything more from a laptop, never mind this laptop ( for the excellent price )

Review of Dell Inspiron 1525
Advantages: Can take it into Best Buy for Geek Squad. This is convenient, because Best Buy has many locations. Disadvantages: Slow, keypad breaks easily, internet issues, overpriced.
