Full review
The Dell 1501 is a good starter laptop. It comes with wi-fi which activates once the computer is started. It picks up wireless networks instantly. I love the fact that the screen large and in charge, great for viewing movies. The bad is the Vistas software which will have it moments when it freezes the computer. Not good especially when you are in the middle of something important. You will definitely want to to buy the Microsoft office software if you plan on writing many documents, you can get a free trial but will find that you need the whole sha banga bang. Volume differs so buy a set of ear phones for improved sound. When watching movies the sound is just not good enough, good external speakers are also recommended. Dell's warranty is great because I cracked my monitor and they fixed it no cost to me. And they can be expensive.
