The Dell inspiron laptop has an attractive classy look, it has a simplistic stream-line look. When I take it out its case I feel good about it because its not a big bulky embarassing computer thing. However, if your one for keeping everything clean and tidy and no smudges anywhere, then maybe you might be irritated by this laptop. With its glossy look smudges, smears and fingerprints stand out like a sore thumb. You feel like your constantly wiping it. You also have to watch what you wipe the laptop with as it is quite easy to scratch. A better idea for Dell would be to provide a cloth to clean it with, one they know wont damage your laptop. It would be a real bummer to scratch it while cleaning it. I also decided to get the colour black because there wasnt a lot of colours to choose from which I found quite dissapointing as the other types of dell laptop you can have one in every colour.
I also found the set up quite confusing with the desktop being along the top. It seems quite similar to an apple mac design and I couldnt understand that when I had one. It doesn't seem as confusing as that though. The price of this laptop averages between £400 and £500, this to me seems a bit extreme seen as it doesnt have a webcam like the other notebook laptops. It also has a 34mm express card slot rather then the 54mm which is more usual. It does have all the basics such as three USB ports and microphone and headphone jacks but is it worth paying the money for these basics that you could find on a cheaper model.
A positive point is that the key board is easy to use and the mouse pad. It is also a light laptop so easy to carry round and because it is thin it is thin it can be carrioed round in a smaller laptop bag rather then one that is quite aqkward.
It is up to you whether the positives out weigh the negatives, but in my opinion there are notepads out there which are of better value with better features. However they mya not look as nice or be so simple.
Advantages: Easy to use, perfect for storing vast amounts of data, very big hard drive! Disadvantages: No webcam, poor battery life when watching films/episodes
