Dell produces the Inspiron 1420 much like the rest of the Inspiron series. This model is directed towards mobile users, students and those looking for a reliable wireless unit. Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz CPU speed sets the foundation for the 14.1” high resolution widescreen display. The graphics card is the same as the other in the Inspiron line, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100, while the hard drive is smaller at 250GB SATA. Wireless activity is a strong characteristic for this model, combining Mobile Broadband, Wi-Fi Catcher and Hyperband Multi-Antenna receives, and holds enhanced wireless reception. Wireless-N Networking utilizes technology which receives and delivers data transfers faster. Dell MediaDirect allows users to access movies, music and photos without having to start up the operating system, saving time and power. To round out the high performance potential of the 1420, a Blu-ray Disc drive can be installed.
