Reviews of the Dell I15-156B

    CNET Review

    February 5, 2009

    The Good: Dual-core CPU and 3GB of RAM for the same price as a Netbook; 16:9 wide-screen display.

    The Bad: Very stripped-down design, missing the media controls and HDMI port from previous low-end Inspirons.

    The Bottom Line: For less than $500, the Dell Inspiron I15-156B offers few frills, but is about as cheap as a dual-core laptop gets.
