    The reviewed Dell Inspiron 1520 was a reasonable base version . So, it was only equipped with a Core 2 Duo T5450 processor with 1.66 GHz and a NVIDIA Geforce 8400 M GS . Combined with 120 GB hard disk and 1GB main memory, it was still a useful notebook , which is able to master office tasks as well as light multimedia applications . However, a variety of upgrade possibilities are also offered. Besides the already mentioned display version, there are also a lot of... Read more

    Colors, colors, colors - Dell has gotten into the foray of aesthetic colors and has one upped its competition by allowing extreme customization to be done on the Inspiron 1520 laptop. The multimedia options on this laptop are great and the option to setup a WWAN with the major cell carriers, so you can connect anywhere, is a very nice touch. Dell has made a budget laptop very appeasable to the masses. It has a nice sturdy build to it which will make it last a while in... Read more
