Dell Inspiron 1501

...is that it’s a dell. Dell are a huge computing company, and are the biggest name around. The only bad thing about them is that you can usually only buy online. This is easy and your laptop should be delivered to your door within a week, however its not so good if you cant see a laptop before you buy it, so this is one thing that puts me of buying a laptop online. With dell, you do get great customer service, they promise to fix your laptop ...
...and more conveniently. Altogether this is a great looking laptop with a very good specification, its also a dell so you wont be ashamed to get this out at your workplace or in front of anyone to do work on, and you know you’ve got great customer support too. ...

Review of Dell Inspiron 1501

...of the 1960's. The Dell Inpspiron 1501 has everything that matters for the average user. Fantastic looks and also has the muscle to back it up, it performs very well in all aspects of computing ranging from standard word processing tasks to computer games. My Dell laptop cost £550 and was well worth the price that I paid for it. The one thing I would tell a potential buyer would be to buy the laptop outright - under no circumstances should you take ...
...of the features through the Dell website regardless of what you are going to use it for. Although when you tailor the computer this can cost extra - depending on what features you tailor. The computer is brilliant, very fast and can deal with any task that the average user would put to it. My computer can pre loaded with Windows Vista Home Edition - this is the standard package that comes with Dell computers. Usually you can also get a software ...

Review of Dell Inspiron 1501

Dell is one of the greatest companies when it comes to pc and laptops, and in my opinion they are the best company of all. With dell you know your getting great customer support if any thing should go wrong with your laptop, they help you set it up if you need to and there even on call to come out to your house if you do have further problems. However you can only buy dell laptops online, this means you have to wait a week before you get the laptop, ...
...there right now. This dell 1501, is an inspiron. Inspirons are of a really good design and made to a great standard, there has now been so much different models of inspiron made, so it must be a good laptop. This particular inspiron is great for anyone who needs an good running laptop, with lots of memory and just something to last them through college, university or just someone who wants a good laptop. It features AMD Turion 64 X2 mobile technology ...

Review of Dell Inspiron 1501

I have just bought a Dell Inspiron 1501 Laptop and so far I prefer it to a desk computer. This is my first laptop that I have ever owned myself and I'm very pleased with it. The physical appearance is very clean and attractive. Why It Is Better Than A Desktop Computer A Laptop is easy to move about. You can have it anywhere in the house and you can take it out with you and use it wire free. You can plug it in when the battery is low so that it ...
...The Look The Dell laptop that I have bought is silver with a black keyboard. It is a new model. Midnight Blue, Jet Black, or Spring Green is the colours you can get it in now. You decide. With 8 optional colour backs to choose from - including 6 featuring a premium micro satin finish and you can have an integrated 2 megapixel webcam - your new Inspiron notebook is cool looking. The keyboard is very nice and the keys feel responsive when used. When ...

Review of Dell Inspiron 1501

I am no expert with computers, have no background in knowledge of the workings of 'processors' or 'gigahertz' and use my computer simply for surfing the internet, writing essays and playing computer games. Therefore, this is not going to be a 'techies' guide, just one from a normal person wanting to help normal people! The computer has Windows Vista on it, and although this is irrelevant to the review of the computer itself, it does seem to be a ...
...in many ways, but a lot slicker and more stylish also. So, back to the Dell. The keyboard is well laid out, the keys normal size and the mouse is easy to use. The mouse pad has little lines down the right hand side and the bottom which can be used as scroll wheels. This is a good feature and particularly good when scrolling down web pages. There are four USB ports, a CD drive and other spaces for external monitors, mouses (mice?) and head/microphones. ...

Review of Dell Inspiron 1501

...can't go wrong with the Dell Inspiron 1501. It is a perfectly adequate desktop replacement and if you want something for home and small business use it is ideal. I have always found Dell Laptops to be reliable and efficient and this one is no exception. It may not have the greatest graphics, but as I don't play p.c. games, or watch movies on it, I'm not bothered. Its main features are as follows: 80 Gb Hard Drive 1 Gb RAM 15.4" wide-aspect display ...
...configured for use on the Dell Support website which is useful if the need for remote diagnostics should arise. When the support centre is launched, you can immediately see your service tag no. and warranty information. You can choose between self-help, faq's or assistance from Dell. The 1501 is a sleek-looking machine and with a price-tag which won't break the bank I can highly recommend it. ...

Review of Dell Inspiron 1501

I got given this laptop for christmas 2 years ago. At first I thought it was great. It worked really well and everything played super. The DVD quality was great, it played a lot of games well, it worked fast and it even came with a lot of extra qualities. I was really happy with it, untill recently. After having one for 11 months my brothers laptop, which is the same, crashed and everything was lost. Since then we have managed to get it working ...
...However recently my laptop has regularly been crashing, fortunately it hasn't lost anything, but we still back every thing up for extra saftey. Now I don't know whether it is because of the computer that it regularly crashes or because of a virus not being detected by the software I use. It may even be a faulty batch of computers made. Therefore I would recommend this computer for short term use as it worked well for the first year or so, but would ...

Review of Dell Inspiron 1501

Very comfortable, strong, sturdy build. Good vale for money, fairly fast, doesnt slow down noticably when i use ram-guzzling programs. One small gripe is that it seems to get quite hot on the top right of the machine, where the processor is, and so does the power-pack Fairly heavy for its class, and screen is a bit wobbly, but thats to be expected of most laptops, it in their nature. Along the bottom of the screen, the plastic frame has quite ...

Review of Dell Inspiron 1501

I love my Laptop! Dell have earned themselves a reputation for producing excellent machines at affordable prices and this is no different. The specification for money is fabulous, a 2ghz processor, 1gb ram, 80gb hard drive. Dell service is excellent, easy to use store online and super fast delivery. THe durability of the laptop has impressed me. I have owned a number of laptops and have been very careful with them. I have just spent four months travelling ...
...bangs. A few concerns I have with this machine is that it comes with windows Vista Basic. i would recommend upgrading to windows vista home or stick with windows xp as basic has a few compability issues with software. It is also a bit bulky and on the heavy side but it makes up for this fact with its durability. Overall i highly recommend this product. Great value for money, great spec for the average user and looks good. You also know that it comes ...

Review of Dell Inspiron 1501

I have this laptop, this is my experience: Windows in general: For general use it is ok as any other recent laptops. The ATI driver seems to have some problems under vista, sometimes the laptop hangs with vertical strips on the screen. This does not happen on XP or Linux, so I think this is a Vista only problem. This happens very infrequently anyway, like once a week under very frequent usage. Gaming: I have played GTA San Andreas & Need for ...
...NFS with the least details. Heroes 5 plays extremely slow even with minimum details (1-2-3 FPS), Gothic I runs ok with maximum details. I have not tried anything else yet :-) Linux: I have installed Slackware 12, this is my primary OS currently. During the install I could not use the suggested kernel, as there is a problem in the kernel with handling the 2 cores of the processor. Using huge.s works well, but I could not make linux use the two cores ...
