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...

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 540MT

Advantages: Quiet, Good looking
Disadvantages: Button under the dvd draw

...After weeks of searching the internet for a new computer, I finally settled for the Dell Studio 540. I have owned this computer for a little over two months now, and have to say, that I am quite pleased with it?s performance. When it was delivered it was well packed, and all the glossy parts of the base unit were covered with protected covering, which takes a few moments to peel off. Everything was pre-installed so I didn?t need to use the enclosed windows vista operating disc, or drivers. Once I plugged it in, the first thing I noticed was how quite it was compared to my old pc, the first few seconds it?s just a wee bit loud, but even that is still quieter than my old pc, but it soon settles down to just a whisper. If there are any gripes with this pc then it as to be the button that is pressed to open the dvd tray. Opening the tray is...

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...
