The Good: Fast 3D performance; smart case design; dual-band wireless 802.11a/b/g antennae; integrated Bluetooth support; built-in smart-card reader.
The Bad: Relatively slow office-productivity speeds; short battery life; no FireWire port.
The Bottom Line: The Dell Inspiron looks fancy and features wireless options beyond the Centrino package, but it offers only middling performance.
