This type of comparison will help you make informed upgrade decisions and easily detect performance bottlenecks. You can then compare your computer's score and system component results to others. Testing takes only 1-2 minutes and produces detailed information and an overall system score. You will be able to test the main components of your computer quickly with NovaBench.

Thus, our shorter battery life, and one more area where budget-minded PC makers are apparently trying to shave a little cost from their systems.NovaBench is a popular component benchmark application that provides the most convenient way to test and compare your system's hardware and graphics capabilities. The older 1525-121B had a standard 56Wh battery, while the new 1525-139B has only a 41Wh battery, which one would never notice without taking the battery out and reading the fine print stamped on it-as the batteries (and systems) look physically identical. Most laptop batteries are labeled for 56Wh (or Watt Hours), which means they can hypothetically power a one-watt load for 56 hours. Both laptops have six-cell batteries, but that's not always the most useful number to look at. The biggest puzzle was why the 1525-139B ran for only 2 hours and 7 minutes on our video playback battery drain test, while the nearly identical (and now discontinued) version from this past summer, the 1525-121B, ran for more than 3 hours on the same test.

Nevertheless, the Dell 1525-139B was fairly evenly matched with other laptops in this price range, such as the Acer Aspire 5735-4624 and the Gateway T-6330U, which have the same CPU, and much faster than the Compaq CQ50-215NR, which has an 1.9GHz AMD Athlon X2 Dual-Core QL-60processor.

It's still adequate for basic multitasking-Web surfing, working on office documents, and playing media files-but we ran into occasional sluggishness as we worked. While the vast majority of laptops currently have a CPU from Intel's Core 2 Duo line, this 1525 (and several other sub-$700 systems) use a 2.0GHz Intel Dual Core T3200, which sits at the low end of Intel's current CPU lineup. The 15.4-inch wide-screen LCD offers a 1,280x800-pixel native resolution, which is standard for budget-minded mainstream systems, but on a screen this big, text and icons can look a bit big and unwieldy-we generally prefer 1,440x900-pixel resolutions on screens of this size-that's an option on the configurable version of the 1525 available on the Dell Web site. Two things you won't find are a Webcam or fingerprint reader-both available in slightly more expensive models, such as the $729 Dell Inspiron 1525-122B. Above the keyboard sits a row of media control buttons, which are of the touch-sensitive variety we're partial to-we credit Dell for helping make these the industry default, even for budget-minded laptops. The keyboard is the same full-size model found on Dell's other Inspiron laptops, and it feels solid and responsive, and has virtually no flex under the fingers. Its plastic construction and spartan design point to a philosophy of commoditization, acknowledging that in this price range, providing the best value is paramount. The Dell 1525 is never going to be mistaken for a high-end laptop.
