The dual-core Inspiron E1505 with Windows Vista is a great multi-purpose laptop, capable of delivering both entertainment and business functionality to those on a budget.
It features a 15.4-inch widescreen display and a decent set of built-in speakers, making it a good choice for those hoping to catch a few DVD movies on the go. Dell’s MediaDirect software lets you listen to music, view photos, and watch movies without even booting up the system.
The Inspiron E1505’s Intel Core 2 Duo processor, meanwhile, together with an ATI Mobility X1300 graphics card set the stage for solid performance, and even make room for some 3D gaming.
