Dell’s Inspiron 1525 is roughly as cheap as standard laptops go, and starts at about $500, however, Dell have managed to cut 25% of the Inspiron’s size, ½ a pound of its weight, and 30% off its thickness with this latest model, and although not as good looking as say the m1330, it’s far better than the 1520.Reviewers played around with the $999 Inspiron 1525 and found its performance did fine, however the absence of a dedicated graphics option is a bit of a letdown fro gamers. The Inspiron 1525 has solid battery life and HDMI out making it attractive for its price, and there is also some multiple colour options to jive up this laptop. All in All the 1525 is a good simple budget laptop.
