Hi I am using Dell Inspirion 1525 laptop from last 6year. I am happy with the performance of
Dell Inspirion 1525 laptop, good battery backup and processing speed is nice. Display options for the Inspiron 1525 include a matte finish 15.4" Widescreen (glossy finish), or a 15.4" "high resolution"(1440 x 900) glossy widescreen display. Nice keyboard, touchpad and media button. Much thinner and lighter than the Inspiron 1520.
The 6-cell 56WHr Li-Ion battery provides excellent battery life for the 1525. The 6-cell battery delivered 2 hours and 53 minutes of battery life. We’re certain that the 6-cell could deliver three and a half hours of life with the notebook set to "balanced" or "power saver" mode and the screen brightness turned down.
There is also an available 9-cell 85WHr Li-Ion battery for those users needing extended battery life. One thing to mention is that with the 9-cell battery in you get an overall larger dimension for the notebook as the 9-cell battery sticks out of the back of the notebook.
Reasonable battery life.
Overall, the Dell Inspiron 1525 is an excellent budget notebook with good looks and solid performance. This is not a gaming machine, but the 1525 can handle everyday computing tasks easily and looks good while doing them.
