** Why I Chose The Dell 15R Inspiron Laptop ** I previously had a Samsung Netbook which was absolute rubbish, to add my mum had the same and hers was also rubbish. It was slow, kept freezing and just a nightmare to use. So it got to the point where I just gave up and decided to go and buy a brand new Laptop from PC World. It was quite a spur of the moment thing. On hindsight I should have done more research as the customer service in my PC world is pretty lack lustre. But I had an idea of what I wanted. My request was specifically for a Dell laptop. Why? Purely through recommendation. (Word of mouth is the best marketing tool!). My boyfriend has a ...  Read the complete review

Well, I could write about the 2nd generation intel core processors, or the 15.6" display, or the 500GB hard drive or the many other impressive technological, big word things which this machine posseses, but being someone who doesn't really care as much about the fangle dangles as I do about the fact that this laptop comes in pink and has the Internet and switches on... I won't bore you. Consider this the review for dummies. So when my Compaq whatever it was starting taking over 20 minutes to load up, I thought it was time for a change. I had about a £500 budget (I think this was £400 or so) and wanted something basic, yet with memory enough for all of ...  Read the complete review

I love this laptop especially after my old one has now virtually conked out. I use it for work as a PE teacher to do my planning with and use for lesson plans whilst also browsing the internet for sports news and social networking. For me this fits the bill perfectly. I like the large, easy to use buttons. The key board is good for navigating through and the buttons are also responsive. You only have to tap lightly for them to work. Not like my old one where you needed to press down hard to get anything to work. I also find the system simple to look at but also rather stylish. I would describe it as neatly finished at the corners and with its silver outer ...  Read the complete review

I recently bought this laptop with the following specifications: Intel Core i3-2330M processor 4GB DDR3 Ram 640GB Hard Drive 1 GB nVidia GeForce GT 525M I paid £499 although it is currently available for £489 As you can see it is not the most basic version of the 15R but the mid range one with dedicated graphics card. Performance The performance of the laptop is fantastic, the i3 processor significantly faster than the AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200 that was in my old desktop. It is the latest Sandybridge so you are getting the best, most up to date laptop. The processor nips through any task and is great at ...  Read the complete review

I have had quite a few laptops in my time, but never a Dell. I thought it time to give them a try. After paying out £550 for this brand new from Curry's, I hoped it was worth it. In looks it is quite sleek and stylish with the brushed steel looking cover, with a neutral slate colour. The keyboard is soft to touch i.e. not clunky, and is responsive to a fast typer. The screen is clear and sharp and shows off the already installed wallpapers pretty well. The processor is fast, I would say one of the fastest I have had on a laptop, but that may just be because everything is getter faster, better, cheaper etc. The hard drive is a good size, and I have not even ...  Read the complete review
