Dell Inspiron 1525

Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the dell laptop battery

Dell today has released the Inspiron 1525 into its lineup of laptops. The Inspiron 1525 is a 15.4-inch widescreen notebook that slims down and drops pounds from its predecessor the Inspiron 1520.

The Inspiron 1525 is in fact 25% smaller, 30% slimmer and almost half a pound lighter than the Inspiron 1520. All good news for mobile users. The full specs on the Inspiron 1525 are as follows:

One thing to notice is that the dedicated graphics card option available on the Inspiron 1520 is missing from the Inspiron 1525. The reasoning behind this is that Dell is pushing the XPS M1530 as the 15.4" notebook for those demanding higher-end graphics performance. The Inspiron 1525 is meant for a more mainstream buyer looking for good multimedia and productivity features from a notebook, and not cutting edge 3D performance.

Some new features on the Inspiron 1525 include touch sensitive buttons for media control and a plethora of design options. In addition to the eight color options available on other Inspiron notebooks, the 1525 offers four new patterns. These designs are inlaid molds so there's no risk of the design coming off.
