Reviews for the Dell Inspiron 15R

Dell Inspiron 15R 15.6-inch Thin And Light Laptop PC
Source: Comp Reviews
Dell's Inspiron 15R is a fairly good value for those looking at getting a strong performing laptop with some extra hard drive space. For under $1000, it certainly has features that are equal to much of the competition. Be warned that the graphics are not Direct X 11 compatible even though it carries a naming similar to ATI's latest. Dell also doesn't offer the same level of customization that they did in the past laptops.
