Dell Inspiron 15 (1545) 15.6-Inch Laptop Notebook (Jet Black) Review

Purchased my Dell Inspiron 1545 in March of 2010 after seeing the "lollipop" TV commercial for the 1000th time. I purchased my laptop through Dell as I was in the hospital at the time and could not order through Amazon.com (sorry Amazon).

Let me say how completely pleased I am with this little computer. This is my second laptop and was reluctant to buy it at first because of some negative experiences with the first laptop I owned. But this computer is a far cry from the other. The extras included were a (pleasant) surprise and made this a top value for the dollar spent for me. As I am pretty much confined to a chair at the moment, I practically live on this computer - even though I have an old HP 1.1 Ghz desktop and a custom built high performance desktop in my office. The laptop is easy and convenient to use with a wireless LAN while in my easy chair.

The computer I purchased came with 3 Gb of RAM and a pentium dual core chip running at 2.20 Ghz. The machine screams! It also came with a 250 Gb hard drive, an on-board webcam, and a wireless connector card. The monitor is bright (adjustable), large and a pleasure to my eyes. All of this adds up to a computer which is a joy to use and will do about anything I would want it to do, where I want to do it.

Controls for screen brightness, volume control, mute, wireless on/off and CD/DVD player are conveniently located on the uppermost set of keyboard keys. All are pretty much intuitive to use. I do miss the number keypad that is on regular keyboards, but laptops do not normally have this set of keys due to space limitations.

The price was right at $478 w/ free shipping. Shipping time was only about three or four days direct from Dell. I imagine that Amazon would be about the same ... or even faster with their free super saver shipping option.

The only drawback to the computer is Windows 7, which is supplied in it's most basic form (ie, it's not even backward compatible with Windows XP) and takes a while in getting used to. This is, however, a small concession to make as I can always remove Windows 7 and put XP on the unit .. or I can upgrade Windows for about $90 to the next level which would be compatible with XP.

Bottom line? Great computer from a well known company at a reasonable price. There apparently is an issue concerning the battery or A/C adapter which has been said to break after a year's use. I have not seen this as I have not owned the computer that long. See the review by Kevin S. for details.

** Mar 2011 update: I've now had the computer for a year and have had no issues with the battery as mentioned by some of the other reviewers. Of course, I don't take the battery in and out, so may not be subjecting it to the wear that another might be doing. However, there is no need to remove the battery since it charges while the computer is plugged into the wall outlet. **

Cheerfully recommended.
