Best Notebooks - ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9000 Graphic Processor, 1 to 40 GB Hard Drive Capacity

'This is impressive, often with budget notebooks the hinges can be somewhat weak.'

'Given its very inexpensive price, this notebook has great features for the money.'

'The system is fully-loaded with connectivity options, including both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and the 15.4in. widescreen display is also impressive.'

'Connectivity options are extensive to say the least, given that accompanying the four USB 2.0 ports, single FireWire, S-Video, 4-in-1 memory card reader, modem, 10/100 Ethernet, PS/2, serial and parallel ports is the now thankfully almost standard 802.11 b/g wireless adapter and Bluetooth.'

'It is amazing to see a laptop that is so quick in the 3D benchmarks, with most games playable at 1,280 x 1,024, as long as you don't apply too many filters.'

'powerful ATI Radeon 9700 graphics solution'

'great laptop'

'We were able to multitask very easily on this laptop, thanks to a hefty 1GB dose of DDR memory.'

'The Inspiron 9200's performance, overall, was very good, thanks to the processor.'

'the keyboard's cursor buttons are a fairly good size and well positioned for use when scrolling through a document.'

'Although sceptical of its ability to perform given its monster display size, we were proven wrong at every turn'

'powerful system'

'Add 512MB of DDR333 system memory; a 60GB Hitachi Travelstar 7K60 hard disk with 8MB buffer and 7,200-rpm speed; and a Philips DVD+RW drive that can be swapped for a second battery or a floppy drive; and you've got one serious laptop.'

'System performance was average to above average.'

'traditional touchpad'
