Like other low-cost laptops, the Dell Inspiron 1545 is sold in a variety of colors to meet the user's tastes. However, rough black is still the basic color of this model, in addition, if you spend about 43 USD more, users will have more options with glossy blue or shiny red charm. Although not as colorful as the Inspiron 1525 version, but with the three main colors, Inspiron 1545 also somewhat pleased those who chose it.

The first impression when opening the phone is the keyboard, touch-sensitive black touchpad to every detail. In part, this design looks attractive, on the other hand when typing text or hovering, users will leave very annoying streaks or fingerprints. Unlike Toshiba A350-11N or HP HDX 16 with decorative patterns to avoid this unwanted effect, after a few days of using the office, it looks like Inspiron 1545 is a machine that has been 'forgotten' all week. .

The Inspiron 1545 keyboard is no different from the highly appreciated keyboard of Inspiron 1525. The surface of the keys is designed rough, sure. Films are not too sensitive, and when the user needs to emphasize. The layout of the keys is also reasonable, there is one thing, special function keys (volume control, turn off the Wireless signal, .) such as F1-F12 are defaulted. While to use their features correctly, you must press the Fn key before. Such layout can be convenient for new users but for many people who regularly use the F-key function keys, it will be very uncomfortable.

If not mentioned above, the design of Inspiron 1545 is compact to the minimum. Besides the touch-sensitive keyboard and touchpad, it is a grille and a square chrome power button that sits neatly right on the keyboard. True to the meaning of 'austerity' Inspiron 1545 is not equipped with a webcam, it shows smooth screen edges that look quite simple. The fact that Dell removed a webcam with a $ 600 machine is not suitable, because even the cheapest netbooks are equipped with a 1.3 Megapixel webcam. However, if you want to own a version with a webcam. You need to spend an additional 43 USD.

The connection is also on the "cut" list to lower product costs. Inspiron 1545 is equipped with DVD burner, memory card reader, expansion card slot 34mm ExpressCard instead of 54mm version. In addition, there are headphone and microphone jacks, plus 3 USB ports, Ethernet ports and VGA ports. The Inspiron 1545 does not have HDMI multimedia ports like the 1525 version or newer netbooks now.

Dell Inspiron series uses 16: 9 ratio screen, Dell Inspiron 1545 is equipped with a 15.6-inch mirror screen, resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. This screen is of medium quality, the text displayed is not really sharp and the viewing angle is not as wide as the contrast is low. If to serve the needs of entertainment watching movies or watching digital photos, users also need to avoid the environment is too bright and sit in front of the screen at a reasonable angle.

The Dell Inspiron 1545 speaker set is considered to be the bright spot of the machine. The speakers offer a better sound quality, than those of 15-inch, 16-inch notebooks at the same price. While it lacks deep and clear bass, it compensates for good resonance and no distortion when loud.

Hidden inside the sleek case, the right price is the Intel Core 2 Duo processor with each level, from T4200 to T6400. In this article, Digitize tries to use the Intel Core 2 Duo T5800 2.0 GHz 800MHz FSB. With this processor, the Dell Inspiron 1545 is capable of running any software well.

The device does not have Bluetooth connectivity and only has standard Wireless G. connection.

For the attached software, the Dell Inspiron 1545 does not come with a lot of high-volume commercial software - bloatware, on the desktop, showing only the eBay shopping site icon. Dell's toolbar is just like a Mac operating system that looks appealing and makes the Windows Vista interface more vivid.

The biggest drawback of the Dell Inspiron 1545 is the battery life. The 4-cell battery of the device can only play DVD movies continuously for 75 minutes while the usage time on other devices like Toshiba A350-11N is 112 minutes and Samsung R510 is 117 minutes.
