Description

The listing, Dell Inspiron 1501 Laptop has ended.

This is a Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop. I got this in 2007 as a Graduation gift. The only reason I got a new laptop was to get something a little more powerful for gaming.

Here is a link to check out the specs:

http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins1501/en/om_en/html/specs.htm

I suggest looking at it before you ask any questions about the laptop's specifications. I will try my best to provide a detailed & honest description below:

The screen measures about 15.5 in.
Windows Vista Home Basic (32-bit) operating System
Mobile AMD Sempron processor 3500+
1.87 GB RAM ( I upgraded from the 512 Mb that it came with)
ATI Radeon Xpress Series
60Gb hard drive ( I know it's small, I used an external hard drive for pictures and stuff)

It comes with Wifi, of course.
CD/DVD Rewritable disc drive
4 USB ports (2 on side, 2 on back)
3 in 1 memory card reader (for SD cards...etc)
NO webcam & NO HDMI port

IMPORTANT! It does have a few issues. First, the touch pad is extremely sensitive and you will end up clicking on everything if you are not careful. I used to fix it by turning off "tap to click" or just using a mouse. Also, the battery does not hold a charge. I'm not sure if it is the battery itself or if it is because I do not own the correct power cable. The original cable broke so I am on my second one. This one is also on it's way out. As you can see from the pictures, I have electrical tape on it where the wires are becoming exposed. I would suggest investing in a new power cord, but the laptop does run, as is. You just have to keep it plugged in while in use.

It is a little slow, but not to bad for general internet usage. I was able to play somewhat intensive video games, such as TF2 & Sims 2 while experiencing minor lag.

**Please read my comment below, as I ran out of space to add more. Thank you.

Apr 22nd, 2012 at 10:40:13 AM PDT by

I tried selling it when I was at college and no one resonded to my ads and I've never used ebay.IT's been sitting around getting dusty for the past 3 months and now I just want it gone since we are moving soon. I get tons of stuff on listia all the time so points are very valuable to me.

Nice auction ! :) Can you post a pic of it online, like Listia for instance? So we can see it has no problem with web browsing. Thanks so much :)

Apr 16th, 2012 at 8:58:02 AM PDT by

My only problem with that is that there isn't any antivirus software on the laptop at the moment so I'm afraid to go online with it, but if everyone agrees that it is a good idea I can do that, no problem.

Overall, this computer works good! I think this is a great deal! I just wiped it so it is all ready for a new user. No additional programs or anything. I am including all of the discs that come with it. There is no antivirus on it either, but you could easily download Avast for free. I would also like to point out that it does not come with any word programs previously downloaded, but I do have the disc for Microsoft works, which is very similar to Microsoft office. Like I said, this laptop has been wiped, so it is essentially a clean slate for someone to start from.

I will be shipping this out within 7 days of the auction ending. I am packaging it in a box with a lot of padding. I will add delivery conformation as well.

If you have any questions please ask. I tried to be very honest and thorough. Thank you for looking and I hope whoever gets this laptop loves it!

Also, I need to add that there are some scratches and such on the top of the laptop. I tried to get a close up of it in the last photo. Nothing too noticeable, but I just wanted everyone to be aware.
