My new friend...

Advantages: Many
Disadvantages: Sound isn't great but that's all to whinge about

~~*~~*~~ Dell Inspiron 1525 ~~*~~*~~ Whilst the demise of any electrical object is always a sad occasion - I felt my laptop was a personal friend and thus when it developed serious motherboard malfunction, I decided that I would purchase a new friend for the old laptop (rather like obtaining a new puppy when old yellow's on his way out) and transfer the information before it was lost in the electrical ether. The search for my new best friend began ...
...I would be buying a Dell because it's the law - or something similar to that such as Dell were the best. My previous laptop was an insurance job so it arrived as a Hewlett Packard and that was all I knew. Apparently, whatever laptop I was to purchase would be better than the old one which was why I chose the basic Dell. I looked at the Dell website where they were cheaper and because I'm a clumsy/unlucky twit I thought I should get their extended ...

A good budget laptop

Advantages: Looks nice, works well, some nice added touches
Disadvantages: A few build and technical issues

...know, an unusual thing with Dell is that they only sell laptops online, and all products can be fully customised to meet your specifications. For around £329 you can buy the base level specifications of an Intel Pentium Dual Core Processor T1400(1.73Ghz), 2Gb RAM and a 120Gb hardrive. More than sufficient for an entry level laptop. However these specifications can be customised up to a 2Ghz processor, 4GB RAM and a massive 250Gb hardrive. This would ...
...add-ons include a built in 2MP webcam (£20 extra), a larger capacity battery and a Truelife (glossy finished) screen. For the purpose of the review, my laptops specs are: 2.00Ghz Processor, 3Gb RAM and 120Gb Hardrive. I have the built in webcam, and the plain matte screen. Physical Features The Inspiron is a sophisticated looking laptop, despite being a little bit on the bulky side. Its dimensions are 14.05"x10.08"x1.0-1.48" (its wedged shaped) ...

Great value all-rounder

Advantages: Robust, looks good, great for typing, good value for money
Disadvantages: Ethernet port is a little tempremental sometimes

...compared to previous computers. The Dell website is always stocked up with new drivers should any bugs have been found, and friends that have had to send things back after a year or two have found the support team very helpful. An essential thing to buy is the extended warranty; it will ensure the computer lasts you a long time. Another thing I bought was the Dell Remote - this is available when you are customising what you want. This is really great, ...
...a problem happens, as is inevitable with computers, they have had little support from who they bought it from or the manufacturer. I would buy a Dell again! PS there are two headphone sockets if you are watching something with a friend on a train or something - Brill! ...

The Dell Inspiron

Advantages: Scroll-wheel touchad, wide screen, LOADS of memory
Disadvantages: Overheating is a problem

I got hold of this laptop last year, after my boyfriend spilt coke over his previous laptop and then claimed on his insurance for a new one. The company sent him a certain amount of Curry's/Comet vouchers so he could select his own, and we picked this one. I'm not a computer expert, and he knows a lot more than me and I know he would've have pick one with rubbish specifications. It had lots of internal memory, which is what I think initially attracted ...
...the specs because I don't really understand, and they can be found easily on any website anyway. The reason why I selected this laptop however, was because it looked nice. It's a wide screen laptop, and as the bottom half with the keyboard obviously is the same length of the screen, it means that the keyboard itself is a lot bigger than most other laptops I've seen. The screen is also very easy on the eye, and when watching videos/films on it, is ...

Advantages: Great price, Amazing Laptop, it comes in a wide Variety of colours ... .. . Wow !
Disadvantages: I can really honestly say that I have nothing to complain about !

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 ...
...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 ...

Excellent laptop for home or office

Advantages: Easy to set up and use, very reliable, good balance of features
Disadvantages: Software compatibility issues

...fairly quickly settled on the Dell Inspiron 1525. The machine had a good balance of processing power, dual-core processor for speed, well-sized screen and relative simplicity. Bearing in mind that my laptop use is pretty limited - basic internet use, the odd online game here and there, basic Word and Excel documents, etc, the Inspiron ticked every box. The installation process was very straightforward - even for someone like me - and I was up and ...
...Plus points - the laptop has been very reliable so far, with no power problems, processing problems or reductions in speed. The battery life is excellent, with at least three to four hours of unplugged use from a full charge. The mousepad is easy to use, and the "scroll without clicking" function comes in very handy. The machine also looks very nice in the blue/silver combination I chose. The webcam is (for a relative novice like me) easy to operate ...

excellent notebook in terms of value for money!!!

Advantages: thin, light weighed, good battery life, nice keyboard touchpad,solid performance and featurs, fast speed
Disadvantages: No dedicated Graphics option, a bit noisy

Dell Inspiron 1525 is a very good choice for the price asked for around $850. Design and looks: Dell introduced Dell Inspiron 1520 which was a similar to Inspiron 1525, but was bulky, heavy and unattractive laptop. But Dell inspiron 1525 is smaller, slimmer (height 1 - 1.48)and almost half a pound lighter than 1520 (weight 5.9 lbs). There are 4 more cover designs available for 1525 in addition to 8 color options in other dell laptops. Screen: The ...
...battery performance!! Well, overall, the Dell inspiron 1525 is an excellent budget notebook with good looks and solid performance. It's not recommended for gaming but a user will be really satisfied with the machine in doing everyday computer tasks with ease. And it looks good while doing them!! ...

...the look of the laptop. Dell offers a range of laptop covers that can be added to this computer, ranging from solid colour to intregate patterns, ideal for children or if purchasing more than one so they are easily distinguishable. 2) Another great aspect of the laptop is the HDMI port that is avaliable, allowing connection to a HD TV (cable not supplied) ideal for viewing online content, or pc gaming. 3) The battery life on the Dell inspiron 1525 ...

The Dell Inspiron 1525 also is slightly slanted (when laid flat) making typing a comfortable process 5) The memory card reader (believe it is 8 in 1) is really quite good, especially if going on holiday and wanting to view and backup your photos. It is located on the front of the laptop, making it easy to access. 6) The wifi catcher is a really nice addition. This feature allows you to check whether there isi a wifi spot in ...

All we know that DELL is a trusted brand for Laptops and desktops. Dell Inspiron is a combination of powerful features and better performance. I bought a dell Inspiron 1525 on 21st Feb 2009. I bought it from a retail store in NOIDA( Delhi, India) . I found several features which make it different from others. First of all there is vast selection of colors. You can select blue, green, red, white and many more colors available. They have a separate ...
...the drivers are available on DELL website related to every Operating System it supports. But the retailer has also supplied me the drivers. very helpful. The Inspiron has a 2 GB RAM installed on it. On my demand they installed a extra 2 GB of RAM in just Rs. 2500. I also told them that I don?t want the carry case. They have also deducted the price of carry case. User Friendly. Now I am free to buy any carry case based on my choice. I like their ...

The Inspirion 1525 that cares about your Needs

Advantages: Adjustability, Good for price, Good Battery time, the keyboard is quite nice,
Disadvantages: Needs big RAM.

...before giving up. I think Dell needs to realise that their bluray installation is very difficult and could be made a lot easier. Before reformatting, did you know that you have to put aside about 24GB in its own partition/'fake' hard drive in which you install MediaDirect into? I didn't know this the first 5 times I reformatted! The lack of information played its part in my disappointment with the bluray function. But on the other hand, the few times ...
...stunning! I didn't have to be far away to notice the difference in the detail between the DVD and bluray. It was instantly noticeable which says a lot about the quality of screen on the laptop and the bluray player. ''' Build of Laptop/Quality ''' The build of the laptop is beautiful, it is very solid and looks like it is made out of metal- perhaps plastic melded with a bit of metal to get the metallic and plasticy but yet heavy feel. It also means ...

...it fares all round. The Dell inspiron is a fairly average sized laptop, boasting 2gb RAM, 15.4" screen, dvd drive, 120GB Hard drive and of course a 2gb core duo processor.

Overall for general browsing and file opening/closing its what you would ...
