I bought the Dell Inspiron 1525 Laptop about 6 months back. The Dell Laptop is available in different vibrant colors like pink, white, yellow, orange, green and red. My Laptop is Pink in color. I ordered my Laptop from the Dell Showroom. The service there is also excellent. I received my laptop within one week as promised. You have various features and options to choose from and I chose some features I like. I love working on my laptop. My Laptop has the genuine Windows Vista Home Premium. I guess the Windows Vista Home Basic is reported to have some problems. My Laptop also has 160 GB HDD and 2 GB Memory Space. It has an inbuilt Webcam that is simply awesome and good inbuilt speakers. They give you a 30 day free trial of McAfee internet security. My laptop also has Bluetooth and memory card reader and wireless feature.I got Ear buds and the carrying case is also very nice. Dell also provides you one year manufacturer’s warranty. Incase you have any issue, Dell sends a service person directly to your home. Once I had a small issue with connecting to the internet and I called Dell for some queries. The Dell customer service is also very good. They are really helpful and patient. Initially I just has issues with IE 7 but later I downloaded IE 8 and its cool. Battery is good but at times I feel I need to charge my laptop for long hours and I started noticing it recently. You can do so many things on your laptop, be it work related or fun related. Dell Laptop’s are so stylish and mine is sleek and stylish with great performance.

If you decide to buy a new PC, my advice is never buy Intel Atom Brand CPU and Motherboard when you are buying any assembled PC. Though it is very cheaper, it is not worth and Intel do not provide any warranty for it. It’s ok to buy them with laptops or other Devices, but not meant for assembled PC. Intel Atom comes with prebuilt CPU and Intel 945 Chipset Motherboard. If you go to buy any Intel Motherboard alone its priced higher than combined Atom CPU and Motherboard. Only any Intel Motherboard costs more than other Motherboards. This tells why Intel will avoid replacement of motherboard and CPU as cost of selling this only cover their making charges and giving warranty is and replacements for faulty products is not possible.

I like to share my experince with you regarding faulty Atom Motherboard which was purchased by me a 3 months ago. Due to some reason I purchased it, In the middle of May 2009 it stopped working and I thought it may be Power supply (SMPS) problem and checked it, When I tested it with new SMPS it worked ok. I sent SMPS in warranty and when it came back, I again tried with new SMPS. This time it did not boot. I sent a complain to Intel as it is covered under 3 years warranty But they refused to accept as they say it is affected with moisture and rusted and warranty will not cover it due to there policy. I argued with them, telling that “have I poured water inside my CPU”. But I use other PCs for more than 10 years in my place and no boards get rusted due to this humidity.The boards i sent previously to Intel never got any excuses like this from them. This shows that Intel has produced this Atom CPU AND Motherboard only to sell it one time and they will not provide any warranty on it and they will deny warranty, what ever the reason may be.It’s better to go for Dual Core or Core 2 Duo, even Celeron works Good.

Data Traveller 200 was launched earlier by the company, which is a 128 GB flash drive and it has a wide range of uses. The new 256 GB Data Traveller 300 USB flash drive can store about 256GB of data in one instance. The cost of Data Traveler is about $900 which is pretty costly and it is useless for now. The Data Traveler 300 enables the users to carry a large volume of data with them no matter wherever they go, this is equal to carrying up to 365 CDs in one instance. But this flash drive is manufactured only based on orders. The persons who wish to buy this product, can place the order to the retailers. The following are the features of the 256 GB Flash Drive:
1. Capacity: 256 GB

The Kingston’s new flash drive reads at a speed up to 20MB per second and transfer rate is up to 20MB per second. It measures about 2.78″ x 0.88″ x 0.65″. The Kingston flash drive has a enough capacity to hold the data equivalent of 10 Blue Ray discs, 54 DVDs or 365 CDs. The 256GB Kingston Data Traveler 300 was first available in Europe. But no idea, when will it be available in U.S , but I expect the price to be cheaper when it is available in U.S.

Google I/O conference was held two months ago ,the shocking news for me was that those who have attended the conference were gifted with a free Android phone .The Android phone given to everyone who attended the conference was a HTC Magic or otherwise called as “G2”.Are you worried that you did’nt attendit.Ok, i have a good news for you but it might cost you as this is available on eBay ,but it seems to take another few months to happen .In a very short span of time the bidding started, it went up to 8 bids,pushing the price to $200.Another interesting thing is the phone comes with a T-Mobile service which is free for a month,which is given for Google for all conference goers,and the bid was expected to go much higher.The pictures taken in Moscone West,the place were Google I/O conference took place were listed for the device on eBay,this shows that it is a real deal.A important thing is that the device has a Spiffy I/O logo on its back,which makes it worthy for another $50.Atlast the price went more than a triple and sold for $760 which is not bad for a gift.
