Review: Ars Technica
__________
The Dell e1405 is a brand-new entry in Dell's Inspiron line of entertainment notebooks (it's also marketed as the 640m on the business side of Dell's offerings). With a 14" widescreen display, a Core Duo CPU, a 100GB hard drive, and a gig of RAM, the machine's no slouch in the performance department. But when you can get a system like this—including an extended battery—for US$800, corners have to be cut somewhere. Right?
