Nice laptop, FAB extended warranty!

Advantages: Good specs, fast, wonderful extended warranties
Disadvantages: Feels a bit flimsy, no indicator lights showing wifi connection, etc.

.... My husband really enjoys this laptop for playing games, but that is not the laptop's main purpose for him and anyone who wants a gaming machine probably needs to do some research. It doesn't have indicator lights showing when the hard drive is working or when wifi is connected or when it's running on battery power (like my old Dell Inspiron does). Some people hate that. I'm not too bothered as I rarely paid attention to those lights, anyway. It also has buttons on the keypad to let you mute or change volume, which is very nice as my husband's last laptop didn't have that and it seemed to take forever for him to get the volume down if an ad popped up or a page had music! My current laptop has the "media" keys on the edge of the case facing me, which I like best, but having them on the keypad is a nice second-best option. The laptop also...

Review of Dell Inspiron 1545 Laptop

Big laptop Small money

Advantages: small money for perfect performance
Disadvantages: none

...I have used Dell Inspiron 1545 for a couple of months. I'm glad I made right decision. My friend who works in computer filed suggested me this one after asking me my demand for a laptop. First , I would like to say , it can totally meet all requirements I expected from a good laptop. I use it to write articles especially for my blog, to send and receive emails, to talk on MSN and Skype with my family and friends abroad. It never let me down. I also used it to watch TV including the programs on BBC Iplayer. Compared to my desk computer, I can feel the speed on my laptop was faster and the stability of the network was better. Second, it has nice overall design. Slim, Simple and sleek. You have three colors to choose . I chose the black one that matches from outside to inside. The keyboard has all the necessary controls that I used...

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 other types of dell laptop you can have one in every colour. I also found the set up quite confusing with the desktop being along the top. It seems quite similar to an apple mac design and I couldnt understand that when I had one. It doesn't seem as confusing as that though. The price of this laptop averages between £400 and £500, this to me seems a bit extreme seen as it doesnt have a webcam like the other notebook laptops. It also has a 34mm express card slot rather then the 54mm which is more usual. It does have all the basics such as three USB ports and microphone and headphone jacks but is it worth paying the money for these basics that you could find on a cheaper model. A positive point is that the key board is easy to use and the mouse pad. It is also a light laptop so easy to carry round and because it is thin it is thin...

Review of The Notebook (DVD)

The Notebook DVD

Advantages: Moving, beautiful love story
Disadvantages: Makes me cry!!

...Having watched this film on Channel 4 at the weekend (I have the DVD also but just had to watch it) I've decided to review it for anyone who hasn't seen it. Although, I see that a lot of people have already seen it as the UK premier on Channel 4 attracted 1 million viewers!! The Notebook is a beautiful romance that still makes me cry after numerous viewings. It is poignant, romantic, sad, hopeful and uplifting all rolled into one. The Notebook was actually developed from a book written by the American author Nicholas Sparks in 1996. It spent over a year as a hardcover best seller. The film version was released in 2004. It follows the story of Noah and Allie, childhood sweethearts who eventually find each other again after years apart. The story is very cleverly told as a flashback. It begins in a modern day nursing home...

Review of The Notebook (DVD)

Dell Inspiron 1545 - very reliable, ideal for a student

Advantages: Great Performance, Attractive cover, brilliant screen quality
Disadvantages: Smudges around keyboard, poor battery life

...it seems to show up all the nasty fingerprints and smudges around the keyboard and mousepad. This is definately a negetive - but at least it doesn't affect the working of the laptop. As for the coloured cover (on the back of the screen), I am really impressed with it. It doesn't seem to scratch easily at all and it still remains in immaculate condition. I have seen other laptops with scratched covers and they look really aweful. Webcam, microphone and speakers These features of the laptop have been very useful to me. They allow me to have free skype conversations over the internet. The sound is very clear - not distorted in anyway. The webcam works well, however, only in good light. Images and videos are good. The only other bad point about the webcam is that it has a small light next to it which turns on when the webcam is being...

Review of Dell Inspiron 1545 Laptop

The Notebook

Advantages: Brilliant acting and mcuh more than the simple plot
Disadvantages: None

...Overview The Notebook is a beautiful romantic film, which portrays two people's love for one another beautifully. From the very first time NOah sets eyes on Allie, until the beautiful, but sad ending, the film captures it all, including all the turmoil they must face - being together and apart. Characters There are two main characters in this film, Noah Calhoun, played by Ryan Gosling and later James Garner, and Allie Hamilton/Calhoun, played by Rachel McAdams and later Geena Rowlands. Throughout the younger years, the actors make the characters real, and allow you to become emotionally involved with their lives. One particularly poignant part of the film is made well at a later part of the characters lives, where James garner and Geena Rowlands portray a difficult scene in the nursing home. James Marsden also appears in...
