Dell Shrinks 1520 and 1521: Call new design 1525
01/04/08

I feel partially vindicated after several people faulted my review of the Dell 1520 and 1521 for focusing on aesthetic, quality, and "feel" issues instead of pure performance. I did so for a reason. Let's face it: There's not a whole lot of difference between laptops with the same components. I noted the small difference in LCD quality between the Dell, the HP, and the Sony, but otherwise, it's all about features (in which the Dell 1520 excels), looks, and convenience (where they locate the USB ports, etc.).

Apparently, Dell agrees with me. They've shrunk the 1520 and 1521 and called it the 1525. Now that the girth issue is settled, let's see upgrade the cheap plastic. If they do that, I'd buy one for my mom. Seriously.
