Bought Nov 2008. Great to start with but battery has been dead for last 2 years. New ones very expensive so I just use mains. System gets hot and crashes occassionally. Issues starting to creep in with loading. At time of writing I've been trying for over an hour to boot the thing up! Seriously thinking of getting all my stuff off this laptop and putting it onto a Samsung, which my family have.

DELL INSPIRON 1525 I GENERAL I GUESS IS A GOOD LAPTOP FOR PEOPLE WHO DONT WANT TO PLAY GAMES OR DO MANY THINGS.ITS ALMOST A NORMAL LAPTOP AND I HAVE BEEN USING THIS LAPTOP FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS NOW AND IT IS EASY,NOT THAT POWERFUL NOT THAT GOOD GRAPHICS BUT I LIKE.IT ALSO HAS IT OWN PROBLEMS BUT NOTHING THAT CCANT BE FIXED.I LIKE THIS LAPTOP

Bought the Inspiron 1525 for my daughter for internet, homework and to play simms games. will not load the games, dont know much about computers so unable to do anything about it. also battery life is horendous and has to be permanently plugged in, otherwise ok

Dell Inspiron 1525 is not a bad laptop, but my wireless card's performance is mediocre. Does anyone else have this problem with the 1525?

This Dell Inspiron 1525 is a very good looking laptop, and when i bought it there was an offer where i got a free coloured backing of my choice and webcam (which has yet to fail me). I also chose the 9 cell battery i think it is instead of the 6 cell which has made so much difference and can use it for ages without having to plug it in. probably around the 2 hour mark depending on what im doing. (it lasted for about 2 hours while playing sims (yes its sad) on a car journey once. One of the keys to the keyboard fell off (which was admittedly my fault because i dropped something on the edge of it and it came off) but i rang dell up and they were very helpful and i had it delivered to my specified place on my specified day, and the guy gave me directions to the page which instructed me on how to dismantle it and put on the new keyboard and then rang me up on the day it came through in the evening and talked me through fixing it. He was incredibly helpful and i would buy any dell laptop just because of the excellent customer service they give.

Because i bought it via the internet all of the programs id asked for were already on there (which may be normal i dont know) but yeh. apart from the touchpad sticking and its crashing every now and again (which again may just be this computer and none of the others as i have yet to read any other reviews) its a good laptop which looks good, works well, its nice and easy to use (most of the time) battery is bloody good (providing you get the 9 cell one) and dell as a company are fantastic!

I bought a new computer because my old one (also a Dell Inspiron, 4 years old now) has started to become slow and the fan runs almost all the time, which is incredibly annoying to listen to! Therefore, I was quite disappointed to discover that the fan on this one also runs frequently. Although it doesn't make as much noise as the old one, it takes less for i t to start. I am sending this computer back and buying another one.
All in all, if you don't mind the fan noise, I would definitely recommend this computer! My experience with Dell PCs is that they are usually of very good quality and last long.

Old Latitude with pentium3, for business are more ergonomical with their double touch pad buttons and track point. I think that new notebook with older C600 keyboard design,especially two buttons groups for touch pad & track point is that ,what I should have.

It has a very nice face, but video is strict that it can not run guest os's of virtual pc/box. A friend's laptop with nice, sleek design. Infact the only bad points I have experienced is the video has problems. However I do recommend the Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop.
