Great big widescreen to work on ; Power to spare for most tasks

Missing video connections ; Offset keyboard with a too-small number pad

There's no denying that the 1564 has a lot of power--but with so few ports on this laptop, how are you going to make use of it?

Good looks ; Easy to upgrade all components ; Good cooling system ; Great touchpad buttons

Screen lid doesn't stay closed with the notebook held vertically ; Battery life could be better

All of the 3DMark06 scores for all of the systems listed above were run at 1280 x 800 (for screens with a 16:10 ratio) or 1280 x 768 resolution (for screens with 16:9)

Overall, the new Inspiron 15 looks like it's a great value laptop, but the £399 Best Buy-winning Asus X552CL trumps this current configuration on both processing speed and graphics power. The Dell has much better battery life, though, lasting around...

Excellent battery life ; Core 2 Duo processor for under $1000

100Mbit Ethernet only ; 802.11g only, no Bluetooth, although you can upgrade both for extra cash ; No numpad

The Dell Inspiron 15 is likely the best bang for buck you'll get for AU$1000, from its battery life to its upgrade options. We do miss the numpad, but the rest is perfect for the budget-conscious user.

Glossy black looks ; Good keyboard ; Good overall performance

Glossy design attracts dust, fingerprints

The Inspiron 15 is a very good balance between price and performance, and also the most inexpensive at Rs. 33,899. What's more, Dell's website lets you pick and choose the Inspiron 15's configuration before placing an order.

There aren’t many notebooks for the entry-level market that offer such a high level of performance as the Dell Inspiron 1564. The reputation is slightly tarnished by a very basic level of connectivity, but if you plan to use the 1564 mainly at home,...
