Thread: Attractive Dell - Inspiron 1545

Wherever possible, it's interesting to test the whole process of ordering a laptop from a company, and looking at the before- and after-sales support as well as the machine itself. So that's just what we did with this Dell 1545, a smart, relatively economical machine that opts for trademark Dell efficiency over outright excellence.

We decided to customise the base laptop option, making a few important choices. At the time of ordering, Dell sold the machine with a Dual Core processor as opposed to a faster, full Core 2 Duo CPU, so we opted for that improvement, along with a bump to 3GB of memory, an integrated webcam and a different coloured lid.

As anyone who has ever tested the Dell online shopping process can testify, the firm remains keen to throw umpteen options at you if you want to customise your purchase - which is invariably worth doing - and it's very confusing. It feels the closest you'll get to the sales assistant trying to flog you things that you don't want.

HaHA! I have already seen the great thing!!!
