The Inspiron i1464-4382OBK is based on latest Intel mobile platform, with the new i3 Core processor and integrated Intel GMA HD graphics. It does not offer breathtaking performance, but it is similar to competitive low-cost laptops, and should stand the test of time better than a model based on older technology. In addition to the laptop size and weight, we also like its simple, yet simple design and surprisingly large sound that the speakers radiate.

Design

The Inspiron 4382OBK i1464 has a standard black plastic chassis that offers a bit of window dressing in the form of a faux brushed aluminum keyboard deck. The lid and screen bezel are shiny black, and the keypad is matte black. The buttons are a good journey and a pleasant, clack-free typing. Similarly, the mouse buttons are quiet when it clicked. The touchpad blends in with the rest of the faux aluminum floor, slightly recessed edges and a matte finish help to show your stay on mousing finger. Absent is a strip of media control buttons above the keyboard, the F-keys handle such duties, even though Dell reverses the standard order so that you are not required to press the Function key when pause, skip to the next track or adjusting the volume.

Features

The Inspiron i1464-4382OBK has a 14.1-inch, LED-backlit LCD display. The LEDs produce a bright image, and they are more energy efficient than conventional fluorescent lamps used in LCDs. The screen has a 1366-by-768 native resolution, the standard 14.1-inch display is. It is also the same resolution, which is usually located on larger 15.6-inch laptops, compared with the models with that resolution, text and icons appear smaller on the Inspiron i1464-4382OBK. We found Web pages and Word documents considered to be quite readable, but with less than 20 20 vision, perhaps instead of a 15.6-inch laptop. The larger screen size is also a bit more cinematic feel to offer movies, however, we enjoyed the visual experience of the Inspiron i1464-4382OBK as an entertainment device.

Support of the enjoyment of movies and music-is-the Inspiron i1464-4382OBK’s audio subsystem. Equipped with SRS Premium Sound, the laptop has two built-in stereo speakers produce loud and clear sound. It rivals the sound of the larger 17.3 inch modelsthat come equipped with a small subwoofer. With only two speakers, the Inspiron i1464-4382OBK surprised and impressed us with its relatively big sound. This is a laptop, which you can use to listen to an album here or there without plugging in an external set or speakers or headphones.

You can connect the notebook to an external monitor, either via VGA or HDMI. Other connectors on board include three USB 2.0 ports, a card reader and an Ethernet jack. You can not find an eSATA port, which is an increasingly common connection to laptops and an ExpressCard slot also available. An antenna 802.11n Wi-Fi treats your needs.

A Web cam sits above the display, and Dell includes a facial recognition app that you can use instead of a password to log on to the system. It is of dubious value, but it is fun to play to deal with. Finally, the laptop has a spacious 500 GB hard drive. It is a step to find larger than the 320 GB hard drive in many laptops at this price, such as the HP dv4-2153cl. The Dell drive is also much less cluttered with annoying bloatware software trials and offers and links than the HP models.
