Advantages: Decent Battery life. built with care, won't fall apart any time soon.
Disadvantages: A little hevy for some. Limited customization

...as it sounds, the 15"inch Dell Vostro has to be my pick of the litter. Why you might ask? Because it is a budget laptop with no signs of cheapness. The build is sturdy enough, nothing feels like it is about to snap off, I would go as far as saying that it has been carefully and thoughtfully designed.The keyboard is also magnificient, which has hardly any flex at all. Like all Dell products, this can be customized to have light energy use and large ...
...course you get the usual Dell customer support, which is very good, as long as the person on the other end of the phone can speak English that is. I would love to learn hindi/urdu (really!) but I can't, so I want customer support that I can understand. I did buy this laptop in Britain after all I have the right to expec the same from my customer service. My main problem with the Vostro is that it costs extra to have Xp installed over Vista. I laughed ... Read review

Advantages: Good value, well built, great wireless, everything built in
Disadvantages: None yet

As I previously owned a dell desktop I decided that if I was to get a laptop then I'd consider a dell. I've had the laptop 8 weeks and have yet to find fault. Being new to Vista is the only problem I had. The wireless is fantastic and will connect to virtually anything. The memory capacity and recovery drive are fantastic. The laptop comes complete with everything you need. The controls are easy to use and unlike a lot of laptops the touch pad is ...
...2 weeks decied not to work. I contacted Dell and the next day there was a new one delivered to my door. The features and functions are pretty much the same as every other laptop but the customer service and well built computers is what attracted me back to dell. ... Read review

Advantages: Looks good. Battery life around 4 hours. Keeps your legs warm on cold days!
Disadvantages: Audio crackle. Gets too hot. Screen viewing angle restrictive. Slow to start.

...appears to be a common Dell laptop problem. I eventually found advice in a forum to disable band A on the wi-fi. This worked but it is a bodge. The audio isn't good even without the crackle but I was intending to return it before I found the work-around. I tried to use the on-line help Dell make such a fuss about but it wouldn't recognise my service tag number. On the Plus side, it is a good looking machine and the battery life is excellent. I was ...
...but I have to say I quite like it. I bought it to replace a dying Medion laptop I got from Woolworths. The Medion was a much nicer machine to use despite being cheap. It served me well for over two years of heavy use but it has developed a poor connection somewhere. Even with the fault I still prefer it to the Inspiron. ... Read review

Advantages: Fast, looks good; nice screen
Disadvantages: Dim screen in power-saving mode

...on the market - the Dell 1520/1525/1720 range are cheaper but don't look quite as good - though I'm sure they would have done a pretty good job too! The main attractions of the M1530: Fast processor - mine has the T5450 (1.66GHz) but better are available 2GB of RAM as standard 250GB storage - very handy but sure that won't seem like much in a couple of years! Very nice screen - high resolution Good graphics card (NVidia GeForce 8600M GT) Good ...
...weight for its specs Fingerprint reader - bit of a gimmick possibly, but makes logging on easy I opted for one of the standard black matt covers - I'd read that these attracted fingerprints but for some reason didn't believe it - THEY DO. On the other hand, if you're not too fussy about appearances, after a few months the marks don't appear too obvious (I suspect because they merge together). The laptop worked straight out of the box. Start-up ... Read review

Advantages: Speed
Disadvantages: Crashes sometimes

How do Dell keep doing this, another amazing laptop for people like me to enjoy. This laptop can have an immensive amount of RAM and Hard Drive put in to it and you can also change colour and pattern to severel differant ones. Has a security fingerprint check to get in the laptop or/and in laptop files. Now that is technology so if any one steals it they wont be able to get on it! Also is designed for storing pictures and movies and games and ... Read review
