So my old laptop broke after taking a hit, luckily, the HD was not damaged and all my data was intact, although, if it was broke, it would have been more of an inconveniance then anything, since all my stuff is backed up.

I went for a Dell seeing as how they get good reviews quite often, and the laptops were within my price range. So I went for an Inspiron 1525, with the following specs:

Inspiron TM 1525 (N0652507)
Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T5550 (1.83 GHz, 667 MHz FSB, 2 MB L2 cache)
2048MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x1024]
Internal Keyboard Uk/Irish (QWERTY)
Integrated Intel® Graphic Media Accelerator X3100
160GB (5400RPM) SATA Hard Drive
Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium - English
56.6k V.92 Capable Internal Modem & Adapter - UK
8x DVD+/-RW Optical drive, including SW
Dellâ„¢ Wireless 1395 802.11b/g Mini-Card - Europe
1Yr Limited Warranty - Collect & Return
1 Year Base Warranty
65W AC Adapter
6-cell 56WHr Li-Ion primary battery
2.0 Mega pixel web camera
Midnight Blue Colour with Microsatin Finish
15.4″ Wide Screen WXGA+ (1440 x 900) Display with TrueLifeâ„¢

Ordered on the 18th June, the ETA was 2nd June, but this got delayed to the 17th July :o. I gave them a ring and was told Dell was affected by the fire at a major battery supplier and there was a shortage of 6 Cell Batteries. Surprisingly, it got delivered to me on the 4th July, a delay of 2 days is fine with me.

I wiped the Vista install and nLited the SATA drivers into a Win XP CD and installed XP Pro \o/. Dell also gave the XP drivers on their drivers cd, which meant my downloading a torrent of drivers was pointless lol.

So far I’m enjoying the laptop, seems very fast...
