Dell Inspiron 1525-139B review

By Dan Ackerman (cnet.com)

Includes HDMI output and touch-sensitive media control buttons

Intel Pentium Dual-Core, rather than a Core 2 Duo CPU ; unimpressive battery life

"Excellent for the price"

Large Crisp Display, Intel Dual Core, Extremely fast USB ports, I get 25MB/Sec connected to my external hard drive. Runs applications flawlessly, not so great for gaming but runs some games well. The DVD-RW is fast and a plus.

Short Battery life (2 hours on full charge), power issues( sometimes reboots instead of shutting down in vista)
