Dell Inspiron 15: a laptop with a netbook price

Dell Inspiron 15: a laptop with a netbook price The Dell Inspiron has all the power of a laptop with the price of a netbook

Netbooks a bit too small for your manly hands? Then check out Dell’s latest laptop the Inspiron 15. It’s priced as if it was a mini notebook, but has altogether more grunt than its younger cousins.

With economic climes being so precarious, it’s a la mode for gadgets to come in at respectably “cheap” prices. The Inspiron 15 is no different, strutting around with a £329 price tag. That’s less than half the price a new VAIO P will cost!

Specs-wise, it’s strutting around with a 15.4-inch, 16:9 wide screen, an Intel Core 2 Duo processor on the inside, a webcam on the outside, plus a Blu-ray drive for watching your movies in 720p High-Definition. Dell’s even thrown in a smidgeon of Bluetooth and face recognition software for good measure.

Don’t like black? No worries, sport. It’s coming in red or blue as well. So, who wants a netbook now, eh?
