Dell inspiron laptop
The Inspiron 2100's svelte 1-inch profile and 3.5-pound weight belie the power packed inside the rugged magnesium alloy case. The $1899 base unit sports a 700-MHz Pentium III processor; a 5GB hard drive; 64MB of RAM; a 12.1-inch, 1024 by 768 active-matrix screen; an ATI Rage Mobility graphics card with 4MB of SGRAM; a 56-kbps V.90 modem; a 10/100 ethernet port; and your choice of either Windows Millennium or 2000. In addition, you get a Type II PC Card; USB, monitor, parallel, and PS/2 ports to accompany an external drive bay; and a built-in microphone. On the other hand, a CD-ROM drive will cost you an extra $99.
The fancier $2223 shipping unit I tested was spruced up with Windows Me, a nearly 10GB hard drive, 128MB of SDRAM, and an optional convertible external drive bay that held Dell's $199 DVD-ROM drive. I found typing quite comfortable on the 95-percent-of-standard-size keyboard, and Dell's Synaptics Touchpad was remarkably responsive.
The unit's battery life of 2.5 hours is about average for a notebook today. The 2100's performance was respectable, too: Its PC WorldBench 2000 score of 127 is in line with the marks recorded by other notebooks with its configuration.
The Dell Inspiron 2100 may be just right for users who seek a laptop that can fit any carrying case as well as handle a much larger PC's workload.

Dell inspiron laptop
The Dell Inspiron 1520 series consists of two models. The Inspiron 1520 is built around an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and (in the case of higher-end models) the new Centrino Duo platform, while the Inspiron 1521 trades Intel for an AMD Turion 64 X2 processor and chipset. Aside from processor choices, Dell is also offering color choices: if buyers don't like the traditional white or black case, they can opt for red, blue, green, yellow, brown, or pink. We've seen colorful laptops before--most recently in the Sony VAIO CR series--but we've never seen a colored laptop with as many configuration options as the Dell Inspiron 1520 series offers. Add to that such media-friendly options as a built-in Webcam or Blu-Ray disc drive, and the Dell Inspiron 1520 series will definitely appeal to home users who want a solid all-around laptop with a high degree of customization

Category
Midsize
Though the Inspiron 1520 series' feature set is largely average for the midsize category, a few key items stand out. For example, the laptop's 15.4-inch wide-screen display can be configured with a sharp 1,440x900 or even sharper 1,920x1,200 native resolution. Users who want always-on connectivity can opt for integrated WWAN from Sprint, Verizon, or AT&T (though you'll have to subscribe to the carriers' data service). And buyers of the Intel-based Inspiron 1520 will have the option to include a Blu-Ray drive in their system--still a rare choice outside the realm of premium desktop replacement laptops. Of course, these finer features will drive the Inspiron 1520 series well above the $749 starting price, but many home users will appreciate the option to customize their laptop to fit their needs and lifestyles.
Dell has also borrowed a few handy design features from its other laptop lines and incorporated them into the Inspiron 1520 series. First, media controls along the front edge, similar to those found on the XPS line of laptops, let you easily control disc playback. From the Latitude line, the Inspiron 1520 has adopted a built-in Wi-Fi Catcher, which lets you detect wireless networks even when the laptop's lid is closed or the computer is powered off.

As often happens with configurable laptops, the price of the Dell Inspiron 1520 series can vary widely depending on your component and feature choices. But we even like the look of the baseline Inspiron 1520 configuration, which incorporates a Core 2 Duo T5250 processor (based on Intel's previous-generation architecture), 1GB of RAM, an 80GB hard drive, and a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive for $849. Buyers looking for an even lower price can opt for the baseline Inspiron 1521, which trades the Intel processor for an AMD Turion 64 X2 and costs just $749. These budget-friendly processors won't outrun the latest-generation components, but they should prove sufficient for most home users' needs
