Dell Inspiron 1564

The recurring theme for mainstream laptops, especially if they're Intel based, is the guts from last year are being replaced with new ones this year. Looking at the Dell Inspiron 1564 ($879 direct) seems like deja vu all over again, since nothing has really changed on the outside. Internally, it's renewed with faster parts that will future-proof, say, a family living room for at least another three years. The Intel Core i5 520M processor and discrete graphics from ATI are a dynamic duo, especially if you're a high definition enthusiast and part-time gamer. If you plan on taking this laptop on the road, you might want to upgrade to a bigger battery, as the 3 hour and 29 minute standard one just won't cut it in the real world. The Inspiron 1564 has three basic cover designs made up of three different colors: Obsidian Black, Promise Pink, and Ice Blue. The Dell Studio and XPS brands, on the other hand, allow customers to choose from up to 200 cover designs. Because the Inspiron brand is mainly entry-level systems, the basic design isn't as appealing as the metals found on the Asus UL50VF-A1 ($850 street, ) or the laminated patterns found on the HP Pavilion dv4-2153cl ($749 list, ). Although the 1564 (5.4 lbs) is lighter than the Acer Aspire AS5740-6378 ($650 street, ) (5.7 lbs), it's not meant for extensive travel.

Dell Inspiron 15 (1564)

I like a lot of Dell's newer laptops, and I had hoped to like the company's newly Core i5-enhanced Inspiron 15 (1564 variant). This model has a lush widescreen and isn't too big, and the glossy shell looks nearly as good as the Apple aesthetic it apes. At about $934 (as of March 9, 2010) when it isn't on sale, the 1564 is a reasonably priced all-purpose laptop with a substantially more than adequate chunk of silicon at its heart. But it doesn't give you a lot of ways to get all that power out and onto the screen of your choice, and the keyboard is an uncomfortable mess. Typing this review means that I'm finally, blissfully close to not having to use this keyboard ever again. (Yes!) The review model I received had the "Ice Blue" finish with the familiar Dell icon in the center. The glossy sections of this machine are fingerprint magnets (no way around that), but they look good. The whole thing measures 15 by 9.8 by 0.8 inches and weighs just under 5.5 pounds. The 15.6-inch widescreen display stretches it out--this is not a laptop you can casually toss into a small bag, but it isn't a monster either. The left side has USB, VGA, and HDMI ports, plus the ethernet plug. The right edge has the DVD drive, two more USB ports, microphone and headphone ports, and a memory card reader.
