Dell E1501 reviewed, first AMD-based laptop

 

Well folks, it's a new month, and we've got the first of new laptop reviews comin' down the pike. Dell's latest low-budget laptop ($500), which debuted about a month ago, has finally been put through its paces for a complete test by Laptop magazine....

Review Dell Inspiron 1501 Notebook

 

Bargain hunters. Most might not believe it, but Dell also offers

Robust case ; Reasonable order of interfaces ; The display's good illumination ; Low noise emissions ; Good sound of the speakers ; Very good battery runtime

The kind and number of interfaces ; The somewhat hard keyboard ; The stability to the vantage point

Dell Inspiron 1501 Review

 

The Inspiron 1501 matches much of the Dell lineup clad in painted silver with white trim on top and a black underside.  The color scheme is simple and there's nothing to rave or rant about honestly, I'm not a huge fan of the white trim "bumpers"...

Very respectable battery life ; Quiet under normal use ; Cool running ; Good keyboard ; Overall very good build, sturdy in its feel

Not much of a looker in terms of design ; Price compared to higher end e1505 doesn't make sense -- this should be cheaper ; Lots of annoying pre-installed software (AOL, NetZero, MusicMatch etc.) ; No DVI port, no S-Video, no FireWire -- a serious lack...

In the end, the 1501 is sort of like a neutered e1505. It's a shame, if you're an AMD fan it kind of makes it hard to go with the AMD Dell option here. If pricing were significantly lower for the 1501 than the e1505 I could see the selling point, but...

Dell InspironTM 1501 PC Notebook

 

This laptop runs great, especially for the price. However, the battery was sucked down in about an hour on Windows XP. On Kubuntu Linux I can get close to two hours if I set the power mode on powersave. However, I have had a few problems. The machine...

Great battery life, great value

Ran into a few problems that Dell fixed.

Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop

 

For as long as we can remember Dell had a stance that it would never release a computer that didn't have an Intel chip inside. But just as you can now run Windows on a Mac, you'll find that Dell is offering its first AMD chips in the form of the...

Affordable, good battery life

Not that powerful

There was a time when you could expect Dell to produce a budget machine that would be the target other manufacturers would have to follow. However, with the notebook market becoming increasingly aggressive it seems that Dell has missed a few tricks...

Mildly Satisfied

 

I bought the Dell Inspiron 1501 almost two years ago and I have had a so-so time with it. I paid a little over $1000 for it brand new. When this product was brand new, it worked like a dream, but it wore out easily. I am a college student and put minor...

good price, nice storage, good internet connectivity

Too many repairs needed
