StrikeMobile (link dead): If you are looking for entertainment at a low price but no high performance in the 3D applications, than the Dell Inspiron e1505 should be your choice. Our marks are 8 for the design and 8 for the tech specs. It would have received more for the tech specs if there were a TV tuner and a discrete graphic card.
