Review of Dell Precision M4300

Inspiring Inspiron from Dell

Advantages: Good spec, reasonable price, great processor
Disadvantages: The piano black surface attracts dust and dirt.

...I purchased the Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop back in January for my daughter's birthday. I had a limited budget but wanted to get her something with decent enough spec for playing computer games should she wish to do this, and a large hard drive as she is a big fan of making videos on her digital camera and downloading music - two things which can eat up hard drive space. I did a fair bit of research before purchasing and decided I wanted to get the best spec I possibly could for my money and the Inspiron ticked all the boxes. I paid £399 in January 2009 in Currys for the laptop which was the absolute limit on my budget. The Dell I purchased has a dark blue coloured lid, however the rest of it is a shiny piano black which looks lovely. I would have preferred metal for the mousepad area - it feels sturdier and doesn't seem to attract...

Review of Dell Inspiron 1545 Laptop

Dell Inspiron 1545 - good entry level laptop

Advantages: Cheap, good brand, lots of features,
Disadvantages: Probably not powerful enough for games, bottom of the market now

...The Dell Inspiron 1545 is an easy to use entry level laptop. Unlike two years ago when I bought my previous laptop, you can now get a number of Dell computers (of which this is one) direct from high street retailers. This is good if you want it in a rush and want a nearby place to handle any issues, but has the disadvantage that you can't customise your laptop to your own requirements to the same extent that you can if you buy it direct from Dell (which takes several weeks). Because Dell are so good at allowing customisation, you need to be very careful when you buy that you actually get the one you need - they are not all the same, so you can't just go into a shop and say "Give me your Inspiron 1545" - you need to be sure that it e.g. has a suitable processor, enough memory and a big enough hard drive for your needs. At the time...

Review of Dell Inspiron 1545 Laptop

Just how precisely great is this little number??

Advantages: Great design, easily upgradable at point of purchase
Disadvantages: Better performance can be costly so keep an eye on your budget

...So the question would be - is the Precision M90 as Precisely great as it could be? Dell products have a great reputation and for good reason. They seem to 'go wrong' far less than most of their competitors, have great customer services support in the rare cases that they do and the appearance and design of the products are always visually appealing. There's another reason, and that would be the mix and match 'Ikea' effect. You can effectively select the product that you want on their website, and then tweak it by upgrading and downgrading certain parts in accordance with what you want. This is an ideal feature, as you can guarantee that there' something about the standard package offered that you wish was different - more memory perhaps, or maybe a better resolution to the screen itself. In some cases this will add cost...

Review of Dell Precision M90

Precision 350 Workstation

Advantages: Quality build, quietness, guarantee.
Disadvantages: Cost

...to another screen, it had the maddening habit of handing control exclusively to the external screen on standby, which then necessitated unplugging the CRT, rebooting, and then re-establishing the two-screen mode. Every time. I can do without that sort of hassle. I have also learned the hard way that building one's own system from scratch invites all sorts of subtle and sometimes untraceable incompatibilities, and I had to have something which was reliable. Dell never seems to figure in any of the PC journals' best buy lists, largely because of the cost, but informed opinion said that they had a good reputation. I ordered the Dell (over the internet) specifying W2000 to try to avoid most of the XP legacy problems - I didn't relish the thought of buying a new laser printer, scanner, etc, just because the manufacturers had decided...

Review of Dell Precision Series

The dell inspiron laptop is it a good buy!

Advantages: The look of the dell inspiron laptop seems more classy then other notepads. It is simplistic.
Disadvantages: Maybe Dell Have gone too simplistic with this model as the features are nothing to rave about

...The Dell inspiron laptop has an attractive classy look, it has a simplistic stream-line look. When I take it out its case I feel good about it because its not a big bulky embarassing computer thing. However, if your one for keeping everything clean and tidy and no smudges anywhere, then maybe you might be irritated by this laptop. With its glossy look smudges, smears and fingerprints stand out like a sore thumb. You feel like your constantly wiping it. You also have to watch what you wipe the laptop with as it is quite easy to scratch. A better idea for Dell would be to provide a cloth to clean it with, one they know wont damage your laptop. It would be a real bummer to scratch it while cleaning it. I also decided to get the colour black because there wasnt a lot of colours to choose from which I found quite dissapointing as...

Dell Studio 15

Review of Dell Studio 15

Precision Series

Advantages: Quality, quality, quality
Disadvantages: Cost

...Precision Series Intro: I only review things I like and I like this lots and lots (my mother said if you cant say any thing nice don?t say it at all). Dell quality, quality Dell the word are interchangeable if you want a reliable computer the get a Dell. The Precision range is a high-end workstation system for computer-aided design, digital content creation, geographic information systems, computer animation, software development and financial market analysis. The thing to remember it?s not a desktop it?s a workstation hence the high costs. It?s very hard reviewing an entire series. There cannot be may people out there with four of the five desktop systems available run within the department is I have. So I can only give you a general feel for the range I will try to use the 350 Workstation is at slandered. The computer I am...

Review of Dell Precision Series

Dell's solid performance laptop

Advantages: beautiful design, wide range of configurations, good battery life, fast
Disadvantages: no HDMI audio, blows hot air from fan

.... Speakers: The sound quality is good and has a build in subwoofer. Though the sound may get a bit distorted when full but the sound is loud enough to make a user satisfied. Performance: Most important parts of a laptop are the internal components that do all the work. It has a processor of Intel core 2 duo 2.0 GHz and a 3GB Ram which is really good for windows vista and running most the applications. The 250GB Western Digital Scorpio Blue hard disk drive (HDD) is a 5400rpm drive with good and fast performance. The integrated graphics card intel X3100 is good enough. Noise and heat: The Dell studio 15 does control heat very well. The fan blows out very hot air though when heavy applications are used but the whole laptops never get heated and the noise is very low thats the best part. Battery Life: On the normal mode and brightness 50...
