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

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...

An expert toner

Advantages: Gentle
Disadvantages: None for me

...Boots expert sensitive toner I like the Boots expert range and find they suit my skin and cause no nasty reactions, so when this was on special offer at half price I naturally bought it. The Hypoallergenic toner has been specially formulated for sensitive skin and contains aloe vera to soothe the skin. It will apparently sweep away the last traces of make up so that skin is clean and ready for moisturising. It is frangrance and lanolin free and dermatologically tested so i am ready for something very gentle as promised. PRODUCT AND PACKAGING... The lotion comes in a 200ml plastic bottle which like all of the Boots Expert range is quite simple and not at all fancy with the bottle being clear and instructions and information on the back of the bottle. The screw on/off lid reveals the toner which As expected, is completely...

Dell Studio 15 - A fantastic laptop!

Advantages: Design, Battery Life, Quality, Customisable
Disadvantages: Media buttons hard to see in dark

...have used. The battery charger can sometimes get a little hot, although this is only after a long charge. Incidentally, it is quite quick to charge. I have always found Dell to be quick and easy to contact, should any problems arise. I also like the fact that their laptops are customisable, and so you can choose whether or not to have a webcam, more memory, etc. Excellent prices too. We have personally owned 3 Dell laptops, while I use Dell PCs at college, and can say that they are of good quality and durability. Highly recommended, would definately buy again!...

Dell Studio 15

Angel Thierry Mugler - Refillable Bottles

Advantages: Beautiful scent, beautifully presented
Disadvantages: Pricey

...I have just recentlly been bought the refill bottle for the Angel eau de parfum, my very elaborate 75ml eau de parfum bottle which was bought as a birthday present was down to its last couple of sprays, so this was a lovely surprise. I expected the refill bottle to be very plain in comparison to the wonderfully packaged 'normal bottle' (designed like a star) and so was surpised to find that once again Thiery Mugler had gone to a lot of trouble to make the refill bottle equally as appealing to the eye. The refill (50ml) came in a lovely box (as per picture above) and inside was a lovely mini version of the 75ml bottle I had been given as a birthday gift. Again, a beautifully presented 'star'bottle. The refill came with its own funnel to make transferring the perfume into the 75ml bottle easy and also ensuring you didn't lose...

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...

Review of Dell Studio 15

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

...Dell studio 15 is a 15.4" dell laptop which has a good range of features and a handy specifications. The price of this laptop is $800 in the market which is good because of the wide range of specification and features. Build and design: Studio 15 is a little heaver than other notebooks in its class like the studio 17 which was a 17" laptop had less weight as compared to the studio 15. While the design of the notebook gives it the appearance that it's rather thick but it is of the same thickness that other 15'' laptops are. Its weight is however fine as 15" laptops are. But can be considered heavy in its studio class. The weight is 6.1 pound (2.8KG). The design of this laptop is similar to the some XPS laptops so you can think how good it must look like. Screen: The screen is a 15.4" WXGA (1280x800 resolution), The screen looks...
