Dell Inspiron 1525 Recommendations

200 points posted to Inspiron products by numbernine 02/05/08

Here are some recommendations that i suggest for improving the dell inspiron 1525 line of laptops. I was seriously considering purchasing this system but i think it needs more work.

recommendations in order of my personal preference

1. Change the design of the 9 cell battery to raise the laptop at a steeper angle just like the dell xps 1530, it provides better ergonomics in my opinion.
2. a.Provide better integrated graphics that actually support HD video playback accelerationthat is guaranteed not to be choppy at most resolutions, and good aero glass performance
b.Offer low end dedicated graphics solution (ati or nvidia) for better video playback, aero glass, and overall performance boost for all apps for non-gamers like me.
4.better processors at least up to t7500
5. continue Magnesium-aluminum chassis
6. Offer 12-cell battery
7. glossy exterior and interior finishes for, smoother feel and better paint durability
8. backlit keyboards that are similar to apples hole covered design, but maintain the traditional spacing that current dell machines have. i don't like apples spread out keys.

02/05/08		 PS i would like to note that NOT having the ability for steeper incline with the 9 cell battery was the primary deal breaker since i was looking for something as close as possible to the design of an XPS 1530 or HP pavillion 6000 series for ergonomics. If this was offered i would go and buy a 1525 right away.

extra info:
Also i do not like the sigmatel integrated audio, the drivers for dell because the stereo mix device is disabled, either fix the driver or go with another company. By the way the speakers on the dell inspiron 1520 are excellent for laptop speakers, continue using those.

HP Laptops have the best PC designs in my opinion for lower end laptops, except i returned mine becauese i found the turion processor and Geforce 6150 integrated graphics to be extremely slow even for windows vista, and im not a gamer.

What i liked about HP laptops is :the 12 cell battery design and how it makes the laptop inclined, the interior and exterior glossy finish, they are super light weight, the chassis is mostly metal. the keyboard is phenominal, and so is the touchpad.

Dislikes about HP laptops: most use AMD rather than Intel cpu, the Geforce UMA 6150, terrible LCD display flat colors and too much reflection. other than that they are good laptops. Dell displays are much nicer in my opinion than HP
