    CNET Review

    July 11, 2008

    The Good: Slimmer than Dell's 14-inch Inspiron; includes HDMI and touch-sensitive media control buttons; a bit cheaper than other 1525 configurations and has better battery life.

    The Bad: Slightly slower than other versions of the 1525 we've looked at; smaller hard drive.

    The Bottom Line: The Dell Inspiron 1525-121B is the textbook example of a midsize, mainstream laptop. Switching to slower CPU knocks a little off the performance, but also takes $80 off the price and adds battery life, compared with Dell's more mainstream configurations.

    Review Summary: To save space, Dell integrated the right and left mouse buttons into the touchpad itself. The good news is that you're not stuck with a single bar (like some netbooks) and that the left and right buttons are distinct. Unfortunately, the buttons are ...
