Dell Inspiron 5150
Inspiron 5150 Review, by Carla Thornton November 7, 2003
What's Not:
Unfortunately, the Inspiron 5150 stumbles in other areas. For one, it's too heavy and chunky at 8.5 pounds and 2 inches thick (about a pound more and a half inch more than typical) to move around much, even from room to room in a wirelessly networked house. The blocky power adapter adds almost 2 more pounds.
What Else:
The Inspiron 5150's stereo speakers are loud enough and clear enough to watch DVD movies without headphones, but that's all. There are no audio controls, or even a thumbwheel; instead, the Page Up and Page Down keys double as volume buttons.
Upshot: A home user or small-business worker who mostly stays put could be happy with this heavy-duty performer, but anyone who wants to actually move their notebook around will find this 5150 too bulky.
