Dell Inspiron 15R

By Andrew on June 20, 2010

The Dell Inspiron 15R is a 15-inch screen stylish laptop suited for student or home family usage. The Inspiron 15R features the latest Intel Core i3 and Core i5 processors, so even though the Inspiron 15R is an affordable budget laptop it gives you top performance. The overall design of the Inspiron 15R is more curvy than previous Inspiron 15 models and features a “forward-hinge” design similar to the Dell Adamo. The lids are available in four glossy colors including Mars Black, Tomato Red, Peacock Blue and Lotus Pink. Dell is claiming the Inspiron 15R series is not only attractive but also built to last. The palm rests feature a smudge resistant design and the frame of the laptop has been made stiffer to provide a more solid and quality feel.

About Andrew

I'm a big believer in the importance of technology usage in education, but not just having blind faith in technology gadgets and using them in a school setting for the sake of it. I review and write about technology devices such as laptops and tablets that have a clear purpose and provide a learning advantage for students.
