Dell 1525 - special edition Lap Top

DELL 1525 Inspiron Laptop - black

The Laptop that every University student has to have

(see specs below - please note this is the high end version , the computer shops are currently supplying a lower spec model at R8999.00 each)

 Inspiron 1525 is a smaller, lighter version of the previous 15-inch Inspiron 1520 and offers a lot of bang for your buck, including an HDMI output and touch-sensitive media controls, which are solid extras for a laptop. (Specks below as audited using SISOFT SANDRA SOFTWARE)

With the upgraded Inspiron 1525, Dell has managed to shave bulk off of the system -- it's about 30 percent thinner and 200 grams lighter than the 1520 model it replaces -- and the smaller chassis leaves less dead space on the keyboard tray.

The keyboard is the same full-size model found on Dell's other Inspiron and XPS laptops. . Above the keyboard sits a row of media control buttons. These are of the touch-sensitive variety we're partial to. An additional quick-launch button is also above the keyboard for starting Dell's proprietary multimedia management software, but chances are you'll stick with more established programs such as Windows Media Center or iTunes.

The 15.4-inch wide-screen LCD display offers a 1,280 x 800 native resolution, which is standard for a screen this size. Our screen was glossy, as is common with consumer laptops as they make a better video viewing experience.

With 2GB of RAM and a 2.0GHz T7250 CPU, the Dell Inspiron 1525 offered no surprises on the performance front.

The Inspiron 1525 ran for 2 hours and 41 minutes on our DVD battery drain test using the included six-cell battery, a decent score for a 15-inch laptop. A nine-cell battery is also available, but it's large enough to stick out conspicuously from the back of the system. Our DVD battery drain test is especially grueling, so you can expect longer life from casual Web surfing and office use.

Dell includes an industry-standard three-year parts-and-labour warranty with the system. which includes on-site service. Support is accessible through a 24-7 toll-free phone line, and Dell's robust online knowledge base and driver downloads,
