User Reviews for Dell Dell Inspiron 1420

  • Reviewed by: tntpowerful

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: It is easy to ajust brightness, and it comes with lots of memory (3GB) and a hearty hard drive with lots of space.

    Weaknesses: So far, only the cost of chargers for AC or DC are a bit pricy, but that applys to most laptops.

    Overall Evaluation: I was unsure of which laptop to get, but ended up with the Dell Inspiron 1420 because it is a small package, and has lots of power. The screen is very clear, although I need me reading glasses at times, it is easy to read the majority of the time.

What You Should Know about the Dell Inspiron 1420

Multitask and Not Bog Down

The more memory a PC has, the faster your programs run and the more windows you can work in simultaneously. Equipped with memory between 1GB and 3GB, this laptop should be able to handle just about any task you can throw at it without bogging down too much. For instance, if you're a multitasker and you'd like to burn a music CD in one window while watching your favorite DVD movie (for the umpteenth time) in another--while flipping between your inbox and your browser to work on your blog during the movie's boring parts--this laptop can manage it all without a hiccup.
