Dell’s Pink Laptop – Dell 1545
Written by Mr Pink | Filed Under Pink Dell Laptops
Dell’s 15 series laptops have been a huge success in the laptop market. Adding to its arsenal of chic looking laptops Dell has introduced its new Dell 1545 pink laptop. This stylish Dell pink laptop is also a perfect solution for people looking for a cheap, yet good-looking and good-configuration, laptop in these tough economic times.
The Dell 1545 is a sturdy and strong laptop that shows no signs of cost-cuttings. The outer surface looks similar to the other Dell 15 series laptops and it has a smooth and glossy look. When you open the laptop you will notice that the touchpad has a slight variation. It comes with a matte finish that is easy to use and it is slightly-recessed and wider than previous 15 series models. The keyboard is spacious and well positioned, though it is a little noisy.
The inside looks sleek and the only thing breaking the smooth line is the speaker. Compared to most budget 15” laptops the speakers provided on this Pink Dell model are excellent. The bass is a little weak but overall it provides a good listening experience.
Though the price and the looks of this pink laptop are very appealing the important factor is what’s on the inside. This beauty is powered by Intel Core 2 Duo T5800 processor and a 3 GB RAM. With specs like these this laptop can handle pretty much any software installed with ease.
While the laptop is powered with a good processor and RAM, this is not a gamer’s dream machine. It has an Intel integrated GMA4500 graphics card that can handle most things apart from games.
The laptop provides ample storage space with a 250 GB HDD. It has a 15.4” widescreen display and in addition to the main features it has microphone and headphone jacks, three USB ports, an Ethernet port, VGA-out and an integrated web cam. The laptop comes with a Windows Vista Premium OS.
The computer allows wireless networking via an 802.11 b/g wireless card. However, one of the biggest disappointments is the lack of Bluetooth which is an important aspect in today’s wireless world.
Another let down is the laptop’s battery life. Though the product’s brochure claims a 2 hour battery life, on testing, this laptop lasted a substandard 90 minutes.
All in all, if you are looking for a pink laptop to suit your personality, doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, has reasonable speakers and does most computing jobs quickly then the Pink Dell 1545 is worth considering. The only drawback to this laptop is the dismal battery performance.
There are other pink laptops that may have a better configuration that this laptop, for e.g. better battery life and better wireless connectivity but they also cost a lot more. Here is a list of some of the other 14” and 15” pink laptop prices compared to the Dell 1545.
NEC’s La Vie G Pink Hello Kitty costs $1650
Sony’s Pink VAIO FJ costs $1499
Sony’s Pink VAIO CR costs $1349
This laptop is priced at $590.
