Advantages: Variety of options. Price

Disadvantages: If you want extra features or better models, it will cost you

A very popular laptop at the offices I work at. Decent 15.4'' laptop which includes a variety of different screens (matte or truelife for instance) which can appeal to all crowds. It does not weigh too much which is great since it allows the laptop to be transported yet big enough for 50 year olds to see what they are writting on the screen.
In terms of battery life, the laptop does have a decent autonomy. The standard 6 cell battery can power the laptop for over 6 hours while the optional 9 cell battery (I have it and it does not stick out much) can power the components for a whopping 10 hours.
The CPU of the model that we are using at my office is the T7250. This cpu is a dual core 2 Ghz processor capable of running pretty much anything you can throw at it. (even complex engineering software such as Matlab or Solidworks).
The graphic card is an integrated Intelgraphic adaptor with, obviously, is not the best for games, but for business purposes, it suits me fine.
The hard drives available are quite diversified. We have some laptops with a 120Gb drive while others have 200Gb drives (depending on when the laptop was bought.). The hard drives are fine in terms of speed and so far, good in terms of reliability.
Overall, a great laptop for a low price. curtosy of Dell
