Dell is known to make good computers, I have been using their products since 2004, and this Dell Inspiron 15 i15N-1900BK is no exception.  My previous laptop was an Inspiron older model, and it has been working for 4-5 years, then I bought this Dell Inspiron 15 i15N-1900BK to replace it.

The screen has 720p, not 1080p display quality

Like other predecessor, this newer 15 i15N 1900BK model has a nice and sleek design, although it’s from plastic, but it doesn’t look cheap at all. This laptop is basically a great device for people who often carry a laptop and go everywhere with it, look at a chromebook if you look for more “cool” device.

It’s affordable, so you won’t be worried breaking a luxurious laptop, especially if you’re a student.

The only thing I would say in this Dell Inspiron I15n review as a small drawback is the preinstalled software. If you decide on getting it, don’t forget to uninstall them and install your own programs, like antivirus.

The Decent Feature of Dell Inspiron 15 i15N-1900BK

This Dell Inspiron 15 i15N-1900BK has a decent 1366 by 768, which means it isn’t 1080p, and Pentium B 950 Processor running at 2.1GHz, 4 gigs of memory, and the 5400RPM hard drive with 500 gb of space. The processor, B950 is superior on clock speed if you compare it with the new i-series from Intel, but it lacks on hyper-threading and cpu virtualization. So, I wouldn’t recommend it if you will use it to frequently game.

But this computer is perfect for basic use and mid use, like student or office work. The included MS Office works great, and it’s started in a few seconds, quick.

If you use your laptop to type things a lot, this laptop has a keyboard that will please you, the keys are chiclet and they are nicely placed. Small issue if you type your work a lot at night or dimmed room, this laptop doesn’t have a backlit keyboard.

Cooling System of Dell Inspiron 15 i15N-1900BK

I love the cooling system of this Dell Inspiron 15 i15N-1900BK, I have used it for 3-4 hours on my lap typing, browsing, watching movies, and it wasn’t even hot. When you play games longer, you will notice the sound of the fan, but it isn’t too loud at all, most laptops run their fan when you are processing heavier computer tasks.

The battery life is adequate for a laptop, with normal usage, I was able to get 4-5 hours, and if you modify the power saver, you can have 5 or 6 hours battery life. Dimming the screen a bit is also helping to get longer battery life.

Verdict

Except of the preinstalled factory software I mentioned earlier, I haven’t found something which I hate thus far, this Dell Inspiron 15 i15N-1900BK is a good laptop, especially for around 300 dollars.

For those who doesn’t like using Windows 8, you can be happy with this laptop, because the OS is the good old Windows 7. It’s hard to find new laptops with older Windows OS nowadays. One of the reason why I bought this laptop is the OS, I am not a fan of the newer Windows 8 operating system and its touchscreen thingy.

So I will definitely recommend this laptop if you’re looking for a laptop at 300 ish which you can use to surf internet, MS Office, light computer games, and watching YouTube videos. Well, I am pleased with this Dell Inspiron 15 i15N-1900BK laptop, and I know I wouldn’t waste my money to buy expensive laptops that I tend to replace after a few years.
