The Dell Inspiron 1525 Suits My Need Very Well

The Dell Inspiron 1525 Laptop Computer includes some of the most impressive features on a laptop but with an extremely affordable price tag. This 5.9-lb laptop PC features a gleaming 15.4-inch Widescreen XGA (1280 x 800) display, Windows Vista OS, and Pentium processors. Everything youd find in an advanced desktop but in a convenient laptop chassis and without the expensive price tag!

the computer works well. the functionality is on par with everything but the most strenuous tasks like video editing or heavy gaming. it runs best when surfing the web or normal college tasks such as typing. the keyboard is great. the webcam is okay. speed is good. screen is alright. -silvershox at cnet.com

Well the laptop really is great. Yes, it's made of plastic but it seems to be sturdy enough. The keyboard is really nice, and it runs EXTREMELY fast. Built in WiFi connected immediately and stays connected. The touchpad is a little sensitive and the screen does have a bad glare under some lighting conditions. The touch-sensitive media controls (as well as Dell Media Direct) are a nice combo and are a nice touch. Overall, a great notebook for an even greater price. - ahsdrumguy at cnet.com

The Dell Inspiron 1525 is well worth the money in my opinion and well recommended.From the first day I got it I found it very impressive at loading speeds and efficiency and to this day I still find this one of the best qualities of this laptop. - PoloPete at reviewcentre.com

Really cool looks. Awsome performance and really good HDD (i've got a 250GB HDD). It's really slim. I'm impressed by the speed at which the machine works at. I don't really like Dell but this product of it's is really good. I don't know about the others but my dell is really quick. I like the 8-in-1 card reader. I also like the Dell Media Centre the way you don't have to boot the system up to play movies,videos,music,etc. - Harsh at notebookreview.com

Expert Reviews:

The Dell Inspiron 1525-121B is the textbook example of a midsize laptop. It has a smaller hard drive and is slightly slower than other versions of the 1525. Model is a bit cheaper than other 1525 configurations and has better battery life. As middle-of-the-road as a laptop gets, it's an excellent choice for basic computing. - cnn.com

A thinner and lighter Inspiron 1525 is guaranteed to boost mobile productivity, but gamers will be disappointed by the lack of graphics options. - pcmag.com
