Advantages: Light, good battery, fast Disadvantages: not the cheapest, can be installed with trialware by Dell
...as always you cannot fault dell on the hardware. The screen is a good size, and very sharp, bright and clear. Power seems to last pretty well, sitting on my desk it lasted 6 hours quite happily. It comes with 1GB installed upgradeable to 2GB RAM, which is more than enough for most users. Heavy power users may find this a sturggle, but our users are happy :) We went for the XP version, which I would recommend over Vista for now, as Vista is a bit ... ...802.11g.

The keyboard is full size, and it also provides a track pad as well as a 'nipple' for cursor control. Battery ... ...it ever?) but it last a good 3 1/2 hours or so with constant average usage. Performance wise, its no gaming laptop, but for most people its more than adequate, with office apps, web browsing and even a bit of photo-shopping causing no slow downs on processing. Mine has a mere 1Gb of ram, but as its Windows XP and not the dreaded Vista, so this provides adequate memory for multiple applications. Overall, I'd recommend this laptop to anyone who wants ...
