Reviews of the Dell i1545-012B

CNET Review
The Good: Dual-core CPU for about the same price as a Netbook; 16:9 wide-screen display.
The Bad: Very stripped-down design; missing some basic features.
The Bottom Line: The Dell Inspiron i1545-012B is one of the better deals you'll find for a mainstream laptop priced less than $500.

Review Summary: There's nothing spectacular about the Dell Inspiron 1545 notebook - until you take its price into account. With an RRP starting at just £298 inc VAT, it's one of the best-value all purpose notebooks we've tested.
