Their verdict was that the Dell Insprion M301z is a capable 13.3 inch notebook with fast performance thanks to the fast 7200 rpm hard drive and the 1.5 GHz dual core AMD Turion II Neo K625. But bare in mind that this is a CULV processor so if you need a true performer you will need to look elsewhere and the same goes for the battery life as it packs a relatively small capacity battery (44 Wh) that is enough for up to 4.5 hours that is decent but is not exactly a marathon runner. ]]> http://www.handsonreviews.net/notebooks/2010/07/20/dell-inspiron-m301z-13-3-inch-notebook-review/feed/ 0 Dell Inspiron 15R 15.6 inch Notebook Review http://www.handsonreviews.net/notebooks/2010/06/21/dell-inspiron-15r-15-6-inch-notebook-review/ http://www.handsonreviews.net/notebooks/2010/06/21/dell-inspiron-15r-15-6-inch-notebook-review/#comments Mon, 21 Jun 2010 18:27:57 +0000 Vito http://www.handsonreviews.net/?p=1308 Just yesterday Dell launched the new Dell Inspiron 15R line-up and TechRadar already got full review today. Their verdict was that Dell Inspiron 15R is a offers great value. There are some concerns about it such as poor sound quality from the integrated speakers and loud cooling fan but they are outweighted by a very affordable price and very good performance.

His verdict was that at first Dell Inspiron 13z has lots to offer starting with affordable price, integrated optical drive and good overall performance. But unfortunately it fails to deliver when it comes to chassis design which is pretty much dull and also if you are looking for all day battery life you would be better of with of a Sony VAIO Y series.

Dell Studio XPS 7100 Gaming Desktop PC features a six-core AMD Phenom II X6 1055T processor running at  2.8GHz and a 1GB ATI Radeon HD 5870 graphics. It may not be a benchmark topper but it definitely packs enough power to satisfyingly runs any game you throw at it. Read the full review at DesktopReview.
