Laptops : Dell Inspiron E1505

I bought my DELL INSPIRON E1505 with 1.83GHz Core Duo processor, 512MB Memory, 80GB hard drive, 256MB intel shared graphic memory, plus LAN, intel Pro WLAN, Blue Tooth, Modem, FireWire, Memory Card reader (5in1) For a bargain price of 970$.

I've tried multi-task processes with gaming and multimedia , its really great with a long battery life about 3-3.5hrs

I'm realy happy with it. Hide Full Review

I have been using E1505 for about 6 months now. I travel quite a bit so it traveled with me too. I left it in the car under the sun twice by accident where the temperature reached about 105.

It is just fine now. I like the screen size and resolution. The media buttons allow me to control the music or the movies without using the pointer. Which didin't sound like a big deal at the beginning to me but turned out to be a great feature. It basically becomes an MP3 player. They are nicely located right by my thumb too.

I asked for the fancy screen upgrade which supposed to make the DVDs play sharper and etc. Turned out that it distorts any other praphics or pictures in your computer. Fun ha.

The computer is a great buy but do yourself a favor and don't get the fancy screen upgrade. It doesn't make the DVD's much different and it will effect your computing experience. Hide Full Review

I looked at Dell laptops as a whole in the mall kiosk. I also have a friend who has a Dell.First, when I looked at the Dell prices, these prices were the laptop and did not include the software for windows. By the time the basic programs were added, the price for laptops around 800 skyrocketed to 1400 or thereabouts. Windows program was charged extra and not part of the package.
Also, I watched a friend of mine go round and round with Dell when she was trying to get her damaged laptop fixed. She bought the extended warranty. She sent the computer to Dell. When she go it back, nothing was working correctly. She spent three weeks either on the phone to India or with someone from Dell coming out to adjust the laptop. The India customer service line is customer no-service. At this point, I would go with someone else Hide Full Review

Hey,



I have a Dell Inspiron E1505. I $950 CAD for it on eBay. The following are some of the features: 1gb RAM, 1.86GHz; Intel Core Solo processor; 60gb hard drive at 5400rpm... I got it for about 2 months now. Its really great so far. It helped me a lot by doing some school work on it. The wireless connection is great too. I just have to be in a "hotspot" to be able to have an internet connection. The only problem I have with my laptop is its battery life. I always have to bring the AC charger. It can go up to 3 hours at its top options (brightness, speed). Having said those, I can say that Im a happy owner of this baby. Paying under a grand for this basic laptop is an awesome deal!!! I definately recommend it if your just looking for a school laptop!!!! Hide Full Review
