The Dell Inspiron B130 is something that people always check out, but rarely end up buying...Encoding an 8MB Windows Media Video (WMV) file on the B130 took a snail-paced 18 minutes to complete...And since it lacked any advanced power-saving capabilities, the B130 lasted just a little over two hours in our battery-life tests...
Decent looking design that's actually more appealing than some higher-end Inspirons
5400RPM hard drive is impressive for a budget PC
Cheap, $700...Uses old Intel 910GML chipset that limits bus speed to 400MHz, even if processor and memory can run at...The B120 build and dimensions match that of the B130, only the B120 has a thicker plastic area around the screen to replace the display...
From my personal experience, not justy from reading online reviews and such, the dell Inspiron B130 is a great notebook for its price...You would think at that price, it would only be good for maybe basic typing...The screen is not GREAT but it's good enough for great movie quality...
"Ordered more memory for my laptop and it works great! RAM got to me in a couple days (more like 2), much faster than I expected!!! Works great, installs just fine..."
"Product is good but shipping was charged even though shipping confirmation indicated free shipping..."
"made a big improvement my laptop was much faster with more memory..."
