It is a perfect one for the people who appreciate technology on a budget. The battery only manages for about 3 hours. While ordering you have to enter a goofy of E-Value code "E1505PC", if you expect your kit to ring-up with that sub-grand price tag. Righteous pricing indeed for this full featured and powerful kit. The E1505 is available with familiar arctic-silver chassis and white edges. At a cost of 6.6 pounds, it is little lighter than the 7-pound Inspiron 6000. The keyboard is comfortable to use, and especially doesn't heat up after extensive typing, as many do. And the user will be pleased as Dell has fixed the noisy mouse buttons.
