Dell Inspiron i15R Laptop Computer Review

I just got the Dell Inspiron 15R laptop in the mail today and it is amazing. The specs were as listed. 450m i5 processor, 4gb of ram, 320gb hdd.

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 Dell Inspiron 15R 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.
