Reviews

• PC Magazine: Rates 4.5 out of 5
  • "Excellent price. Discrete graphics. New color splashes. Better-than-average battery life. Feature rich laptop. Very good typing experience."
• CNET: Rates 7.9 out of 10
  • "Not as radically reengineered as Dell's new XPS laptop; low starting price, but everything from the Webcam to Bluetooth costs extra."
• PC World: Rates 78
  • "Overall this notebook has much to like. It's fast, capable, and as colorful as you care to make it. "
• Ars Technica: Review of the Dell Inspiron 1420n with Ubuntu
  • "Although I consider this product a strong buy for experienced Linux users, I don't recommend it (yet) for users who aren't already familiar with the operating system. Ubuntu's prodigious ease of use is diminished by a litany of frustrating minor hardware support problems that many average computer users will not be inclined to resolve."
