A lot for £300

I set up the Inspiron 15 for my sister. She paid £299 from dell online. It is fairly light weight. But seems sturdy enough. This was the basic model so probably not a gamers machine. I watched the BBC iplayer. Picture was good. Was much better than I expected. Not that far behind my own machine costing 5 times as much.
Having seen other machines under £500 this is definitely the best value.
No idea about battery life.
