The Dell Inspiron 1525 released at the beginning of 2008, is a 15.4" laptop that is the successor to the Inspiron 1520 and is intended to be a mainstream laptop for budget-minded people. Compared to the 1520 the 1520 sees a 20% reduction in size and drops around half a pound to come in at 6 pounds, about standard for this price-range and size. From a specifications perspective it's the standard fare with Core 2 Duo processor and integrated graphics - it must be noted that there's no option for discrete graphics cards - with a 1280x800 resolution screen. The standout features for this laptop compared to its contemporaries is the addition of extra multimedia ports including an HDMI, VGA and S-Video output, alongside 2 headphone jacks, 2-megapixel webcam, and an integrated microphone.
