Dell Inspiron i15R-1974MRB 15.6-Inch Laptop (Mars Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just got this Inspiron 15R in the mail today and it is amazing. The specs were as listed. 450m i5 processor, 4gb of ram, 320gb hdd. I ordered this two days ago for the price of $679.99. The price has now been raised to $849.99. I searched around the internet for awhile to find a deal on an i5 processor.
My old laptop was an inspiron 1501. The 15R is a great improvement. One of my features is the touch pad. While not perfect, the touch pad has similar capabilities to one of a Macbook. You can zoom in and out of any webpage also do a 2 finger scroll. While this touch pad isn't perfect, I personally find it better than one of a Macbook. When using macbooks in the past, I would always accidentally zoom in or out of a page when i didn't want to. On the 15R the touch pad does exactly what I want it to do, when i want it to do.
This computer is also fast. I'm so happy that I didn't settle for an i3 processor. For example, when I was first setting everything up, I was downloading itunes, while updating McAfee, and while installing Microsoft office from a disk (i used my old microsoft office 2007 disk). The intel i5 450m was able to perform all 3 of these task without any struggle.
Finally I'll give you guys the windows experience ratings
Processor: 6.8
Memory (RAM): 5.9
Graphics: 4.7
Gaming Graphics 5.1
Disk data transfer rate 5.8
These scores aren't bad at all. The graphics score is from the Intel HD graphics. I'm assuming most people who just settle for the intel hd graphics integrated into the core processors will have a similar score.
The only thing I wish this computer had was a hard drive that spun at 7200 rpm instead of 5400, but for the price I was able to get this 15R with the i5, I really can't complain.
I got this at a great deal, but since the price has now been raised to 849.99 I suggest shopping around for a little bit to try to find a cheaper laptop with an i5 processor.
