After using the Dell Inspiron 1545 for 6 months, I would definitely recommend it as it is a reliable, easy to use and fast laptop. The main features of the laptop are summarised in the list below:
Windows Vista (Home Premium) Intel Core 2 Duo T580 250 GB Hard Drive 3GB Memory 15.6" Widescreen CD/DVD Re-writer Wireless 3 USB connections Lithium ion battery
I bought this laptop from PC world for £399 and have used it daily for six months. I usually use it for watching films and find that the resolution is very clear and of a high quality. I regularly burn CD/DVDs and have not experienced any problems since purchasing this item.
Also, I use this laptop for Internet use everyday and believe it is very convenient as it has a wireless connection and so can be used anywhere in the house or garden. In addition, the laptop is very easy to carry around. There are 3 USB connections available, which I believe is more than enough as I only tend to use 2 at the most.
The main reason I bought this laptop was because of the size of the hard drive at 250 GB, which allows you to store alot of data. I store alot of music, films and several TV series on my laptop and still have sufficient memory left. This laptop is very useful for people who need a larger memory capacity for data, files,music etc. Also, the operating system is relatively quick to load and using different programs such as Microsoft Office only takes a few seconds.
The disadvantages of this laptop is that it does not have a webcam. Also, the battery life can sometimes go very low whilst watching programmes, so I prefer to leave the laptop charging. Whilst working or using the Internet however, the battery life tends to remain fine. The laptop did come with a month's free trial of McAfee Anti-virus software, but I installed my own anti-virus and firewall software.
Overall, I believe that the Dell Inspiron is an excellent laptop to buy and can be used by anyone, from a family laptop, to a laptop used at work or during travelling.
