De mannen van Sharky Extreme hebben een review geproduceerd over de nieuwe Dell Inspiron notebook. Het geteste exemplaar bij Sharky Extreme was in het bezit van een Pentium III 750, 128MB SDRAM, 14" XGA LCD en een 8MB ATi Rage Mobility. Deze notebook is uitgerust met een fris design, wat ook nog eens lekker licht is. Dit alles maakt het een prima notebookje, en met een prijs van ruim 3000 dollar kreeg ie als titel de Mercedes onder de notebooks toegedicht:
For about $3100 as tested, the Dell Inspiron 4000 provides excellent performance in a tidy and well-designed package. There are lower-priced notebooks from lower-end brands that pack similar performance and features into less-tidy packages that also tend to integrate lower quality components. But we see the Inspiron 4000's primary competition coming from its larger sibling, the Inspiron 5000e.
Overall, we enjoyed using the Dell Inspiron 4000. Its speed does not approach that of a full desktop system, but it still performs quite well in business applications, especially for a notebook. It does not do well in 3D applications, but cutting texture needs to fit within the 8MB of video will boost performance to acceptable levels. It carries a great LCD, has strong battery life, looks good, has plenty of versatility, weighs very little, and has a level of attention-to-detail that makes it the Mercedes of notebooks. If the Inspiron 4000e looks like it meets your needs, we have absolutely no problem recommending it.
