The Inspiron 1520 weighs about six pounds and a half and is considered a consumer notebook in general. Equipment, particularly in the form of graphics, will result in 1520 and on all laptops on the market, with the exception of extremely expensive gaming machines that lack of concessions in the life of the battery size and cost. Though this notebook was sent by Dell for the purposes of research and purchased will not, I wanted to address the above issue, simply because there is something of an art to buying a Dell consumer notebook. There are many decisions to make, and like all decisions, they carry with them the potential for regret or satisfaction.
This is the first computer to simply enjoy playing. The finish of the cover is beautiful, almost tactile rubber surface. Dell term because "Micro Satin," and I agree with this description. My first concern was that the material from scratch, but after a sharp scratching with my thumbnail I was unable to produce a mark. Dell currently offers elegant Belkin bags in colors aspect of the new Inspiron party. Personally, I have not bought one because I do not use bags to the Dove / tarragon to match the color of my team.
The screen on 1520 is a color display very inflexible. I had the opportunity to produce a wave of LCD screen with a few decent rotation. WSXGA resolution is ideal for me, I have much room to work with text, but it seems too small. This particular screen looks a bit grainy, but. It is 1 / 4 "light leak is in the bottom of the screen, but I found no dead or stuck pixels.
In 1520, the speakers were moved to the front of the palm rests in the E1505 under the nose of the computer. I would have preferred that they are above the keyboard somewhere, but at least, where they now have less chance to block with his hands that were on the E1505. The speakers are surprisingly loud without distorting too much, and the sound quality is very good. The 1520 is the new Santa Rosa platform, integrating a 800 MHz front side bus features, improved graphics and new features integrated Wireless-N How many other Dell notebooks, the 1520 features MediaDirect boot that has enabled him to directly into MediaDirect without loading the operating system. The noise is average for a laptop. This is a soft hum, but nothing I found offensive. Even if the fan is running, it is actually stronger than background noise. The keyboard material seems to be the same as that used for the M1210 and has a good grip with it, not softer Inspiron keyboards of the previous generation.


Dell Inspiron 1520 Laptop Battery
Battery life will appear in force under the load of the CPU performance settings are about three hours with the 9 cell battery. You could probably extend the four hours or more by disabling wireless, lower screen brightness, and less intensive applications. 9-cell battery extends beyond 3 / 4 "from the back of the computer, but that does not seem particularly remarkable given the size already in the laptop.
Under fairly heavy usage, such as the activity of many hard drives, wireless and the screen goes to full brightness, the battery could run for almost three hours. Very easy to use and a poor display, but wireless is still ongoing, resulted in an extra hour or more. I expected a greater inequality, since my use of the two tests was at opposite ends of the spectrum, but I have used Bluetooth to test the light, and both times seemed fairly strong for a machine of this performance. With a little tweaking, I’m sure others could squeeze more battery life 9 cell.
