Dell Inspiron 1525 Notebook Review

Dell Inspiron 1525 Notebook Review

After the sudden crash of my HP DV6000, 2 weeks after the warranty ran out, I started shopping around for new notebooks. I immediately ruled out HP and after a little research I settled on the Dell Inspiron 1525. My model came loaded with 3 GB of Ram, a 250 GB hard drive and a 15.4″ screen. With more USB ports than I know what to do with, a firewire slot, an 8-in-1 memory reader and a dual-layer DVD burner, this is a true multimedia notebook. A built in webcam is certainly a nice touch, but is no deal breaker either way. The keys are large and easy to use, and there are multimedia buttons for controlling your media players at the top. As far as negatives, the screen is a little hard to see in bright daylight, and the touchpad does not always pick up every movement exactly, but those are minor complaints. This is a good notebook at a surprisingly good price. $700.

Believe what you want about Dell Computers, whether you think they’re reliable or prepackaged zombie computers laden with Windows rubbish. Truth is, not all of us can afford Macs. But, with the Dell Studio Hybrid Desktop Computers, it’s all of the sudden hip to own a Dell (er… kind of). We’re very partial to the bamboo version; just one of seven choices for aesthetics. The inside is actually more interesting though with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, up to 4GB of RAM, Wi-Fi, optional Tv Tuner, and optional Blu Ray optical drive. Eco-friendly materials and settings (70% less energy consumption than most other PCs) make the Dell Studio Hybrid the greenest consumer desktop PC. $500+. Read more »
