Its appearance is rather classical black finish. However, there is an effect on the brushed metal palm rest, finishing certainly found in the hull. The right side hosts a home in Kensington, Ethernet and a USB optical drive, the rest of the connector is placed on the left.
Offset to the left, the touchpad seems a good size. It is apparently accompanied by a button bar, the latter being defined by a line. The keyboard is it a model for keys that have a numeric keypad. At first, the integrated office Works should be installed.

The Dell Inspiron laptop 15R is at ease in everyday use and multitasking thanks to its Intel Core i3-330M and 4 GB of RAM. Remember that they will be fully supported if the system is a 64-bit edition.
The drive offers a storage space of 640GB comfortable and the screen is in the middle with a brilliant treatment, a standard resolution that many find it too limited to vertical and a 16:9 format particularly well suited to reading videos.
In turn, the dedicated graphics card Radeon Mobility HD5470 will be able to run games not too resource intensive 3D.



Finally, the connection is correct with no Wi-Fi, HDMI, Bluetooth and e-SATA, but the battery has a limited capacity which suggests a rather low autonomy. However, this course will be to verify in practice.
You can now get this for less than 900 $. It displays an equipment / price ratio in its category average

Handling, ergonomics. The Dell Inspiron Mini 10 has nothing to envy the more traditional notebooks regarding the quality of workmanship. The assemblies are good and the finish leaves an impression of solidity. The design is rather plain. It mixes the matte black plastic chassis and keyboard with a shiny gray plastic at the touchpad. Unfortunately, the entire surface of the screen is bright, causing a mirror effect and be easily shows fingerprints. The keyboard occupies the entire width of the netbook. The keys are large, firm and responsive. However they are very close to each other, which can be a bit confusing at first. The touchpad is fairly narrow in height but very wide. It is perfectly adapted to the 16:9 screen and proves pleasant to use with a matte surface. The left and right clicks are ingeniously integrated into the same area. They were not distinguished by the two symbols printed on both sides of the touchpad. Of course, this area is not sensitive.  Dell Inspiron Mini 10 webcamlive webcam is correct, no more. The display is fluid, however, there is a certain lack of resolution. This could be clearer and more precise. The microphone is happily placed next to the webcam, which provides a satisfactory result.

The machine is completely silent in all circumstances. This reflects the lack of fan. Cooling is passive, which is a very good thing. Only the hard drive means sometimes. To go to the end of things, a DSS could be a good choice since this type of storage is no noise. The connections are distributed on the slices of the device: 3 USB 2.0 ports, one HDMI, 1 RJ45, 2 mini jacks and a memory card reader. Classic but sufficient. The 6-cell battery unfortunately takes up much space, and extends below the rear of the machine. It’sa shame because the overall size would have been more acceptable without the protrusion. Play.

The GMA 500 integrated platform Poulsbo is even weaker than the already very modest GMA 950 usual. Overall, the game is on the netbook passionate hobby. We started a topic on the forum Census: What games do you manage to run it on your netbook? You can find all the games that our dear readers were able to use on their machines.

Audio. The sound has a tendency to saturate in the treble, and bass are virtually absent. Overall, we feel a lack of precision, including when listening through headphones. This remains correct, with little noise. Mobility Autonomy. With 5:15 autonomy in video playback, the Mini 10 netbook is among the most enduring. Too bad this is done at the cost of a battery that exceeds frankly under the rear of the machine. Fortunately, with 1.35 kg on the scales, it is not too heavy.

Despite a configuration that puts into the category of ultra-portable entry-level price and size of the Dell Inspiron 11Z closely resemble the world of netbooks. With its 11.6-inch screen and dual-core processor better than the average, the Inspiron 11Z has serious advantages to make. Handling, ergonomics: a nice finish and good overall comfort . The Dell Inspiron 11Z is a beautiful machine, well finished, with quality plastics. However, all is not rosy, starting with the shiny black coating that takes up all around the screen. It attracts dust and fingerprints favors. Fortunately, the rest of the machine is dull, with the exception of the area of the touchpad is glossy gray. This area does not pose any particular problem, like the hood of the screen that uses the same white plastic. The bright colors make it possible to limit the visible traces. Dell Inspiron keyboard 11Z. The keyboard is excellent. It offers great comfort with its flat keys (16 x 16 mm) well proportioned. Typing is smooth and quiet.

The touchpad (multi-touch) is very broad. If the slide is very good with the flat coating, we can not say the same precision that leaves a bit to be desired. You end up running out of speed, unfortunately. Dell Inspiron 11Z webcamL’image the webcam would be correct if it was not so dark. The screenshot below cons actually been carried out in broad daylight. Although the brightness of the room is not very high in this case, it shows the difficulties of this webcam since there is not much light. Obviously in the dark of night the result becomes almost unusable. The fluid is suitable. Side noise machine is silent office. The problem comes from its stronger tendency to break down at the slightest activity. The ventilation is more audible, even if it is acceptable. The connector is standard, with three USB 2.0 ports, 1 HDMI, 1 RJ45, 1 microphone, 1 headphone and 1 memory card reader 3 in 1. On the PC, nothing! We can just remove the battery. To access the components, it will reverse much of the machine.

The video playback in high definition (HD 1080p Blu-Ray equivalent) is quite possible with the processor alone. That said, we recommend that you use hardware acceleration of the graphics, which relieve much of the work done by the CPU. To do this, use a program like PowerDVD or Media Player Classic Home Cinema (with the right codecs). Play 3D games on legacy. Compared to laptops “classic” of our comparison, an integrated graphics solution like Intel GMA 4500MHD team that this model does not deserve a star. However, compared to other netbooks our comparison, it is positioned to 3 stars. It is the ambiguity of the time since the Dell Inspiron 11Z is at the junction between the two worlds netbooks and notebooks.

This will be resolved soon by a rethinking of notes and comparative. The important point is that in all cases these parts integrated graphics are definitely not designed to play. In practice it will be limited to old 3D games or 2D titles. Audio: poor, as often. Not surprisingly, the sound is once again wrong on this netbook: lack of bass, dry sound and aggressive. Only the headphone output is correct. We will console with the ability to output audio via HDMI, which can fortunately enjoy its Blu-Ray to 100%.

Ergonomics Equipment, Announced recently by Dell, the Inspiron 1300 is a simple evolution of the old entry-level model, the Inspiron 1200. The hull is exactly the same, and therefore we find the same screen size (15.4 inches) and the same ergonomics rather moot. Two things are indeed pretty annoying: the first four LEDs located on the bottom left of the box and indicate the operation of the hard drive, battery, … They are too bright and become frankly heinous when using this product a dark environment. One is tempted to put an end to hide Chatterton. Another downside of the touchpad whose surface is too low and the proportion of 4:3 does not correspond at all to the screen. So it is impossible to move the pointer to a Windows across the screen without having to raise his hand several times at least to define a minimum precision in the mouse driver. Too bad because the keyboard on its side is very nice and the arrow keys are slightly separated handy. Also noted that despite its very low price, the Inspiron 1300 has a 3 year warranty, which is reassuring.

Performance, The internal equipment being what it is, do not expect wonders in terms of performance. However the configuration is fairly balanced with a Celeron M 390 connected to a chipset that will also serve i915GM circuit graph. The 3D performance is average and will therefore rather difficult to exploit recent games but for the desktop, multimedia or internet, it has everything you need, including a 80 GB hard disk

Connectors, Like most Dell products released recently, the Inspiron 1300 is losing the PC expansion card in favor of the ExpressCard. Although there may still expansion cards to meet the new standard, it’s a good point to ensure the sustainability of this product. Otherwise you will regret the absence of FireWire, the memory card slots and video output. Yet there was room for these extensions because the right side of the housing includes only the DVD burner and the back, only the external power jack is present.
Autonomy, In its basic version, the Inspiron 1300 comes with a 4-cell battery, but the manufacturer has had the good sense to give us instead a 6-cell model which is just 20 € more. This battery will reach 2 hr 45 min autonomy which is more correct than the Inspiron place at second in this test on this particular point.



The entry level evolves smoothly from Dell. Maybe a bit too much, we would have liked an ergonomic review, design a little more modern, a bit higher performance. Rest its autonomy and its guarantee: very good. Calculation: Celeron M Processor 390, Chipset Intel i915GM, 512 MB, 15.4 inches, 1280 x 800 pixels, 80GB.
