| thechuunt's Full Review: Dell Inspiron 1100 (1100SAP) PC Notebook |
The Dell Inspirion 1100 is a great laptop system. It has all the features of a desktop computer and a big beautiful 15 inch screen. The system is as follows:
Memory:
256 DDR Ram
Processor:
Intel Celeron 2.2 GHZ
Screen:
15 XGA Monitor
HD
30 GIG
Drives:
CDRW/DVD Combo Drive
Video:
Intel Shared Video Card
Other Items:
Touch pad, nice laid out keyboard, ships with XP home, battery is nice because it gives you about 3 hrs on a full charge (and it charges amazingly fast). Very quite and fast.
I was very impressed by this laptop and all the features that it has. It also comes with Roxio CD software to create and burn CD and it comes with WinDVD to watch your favorite DVD movies. It isnt bad to watch a DVD on the 15 LCD screen. The clarity is on par with a flat screen 15 desktop monitor.
It has two usb ports, one pcmcia port, built in modem/Ethernet ports, video out, and infrared support. This laptop will not blow you away by any means; it is meant to be a work horse. I tried playing Unreal and it was an absolute joke. This system is meant to run applications and serve as a work computer, not a gaming system.
Conclusion:
If you are in need of a portable and affordable laptop for business use this is the perfect model. The Dell 1100 will suit most business users needs. I run Office, Adobe Photoshop, and Outlook with no problems. However, once you try to run graphic intense programs the system does lag. It has all the features that you would be looking for in a general laptop. CD burning, DVD, big hard-drive, nice 15 screen, and good simple layout. For the price this computer does fit the budget and is worth a look at.
