Reviews of the Dell Inspiron 1525 Laptop Computer (Intel Pentium Dual Core T4200, 500GB HDD, 3GB)

CNET Review
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.
