Product Summary
Dell Inspiron 1525 Laptop Computer (Intel Celeron 560 /1GB)
price range: $235.00
Adding some features missing from its 14-inch cousin, the Dell Inspiron 1525 is the textbook example of a midsize, mainstream laptop--a basic workhorse with few surprises. It may be a bit large for daily campus travel, but it should last you the full four years.
