Is this a good Laptop?? Buying for my aunt.

I'm looking not to spend more then $800 with tax. This is for my aunt, she is 45 years old and just needs a basic setup. I never owned a Dell notebook before so I dont know what is latest word is about them. I have like 2 days to buy this laptop for her, so cannot be online. I called bestbuy and they have 1 in stock.

I found this on the BestBuy website.

What do you guys think? Will this be a reliable laptop??

 

Look to see what the review says http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=4175&review=Dell+Inspiron+1525

My sister had an inspiron for college and it worked fine for her for about 2-3 years. Slowed down quite a bit though.

 

Thanks, I will check it out.

Anyone else have any first hand experience on this particular model?

 

The specs looks good. Screen size is adequate. Ask your aunt if 15" is too large to carry around. She might prefer a smaller screen for portability. If she's just going to have it at home then a 17" might be a better choice.

 

For basic things, it will be a fine laptop. Good luck.

 

Yeah, I'm sure this will be more then enough for a lady that is 50 yrs old.

Just picked it up at Bestbuy for $756 with tax.

Thanks, again!
