This is a review of my Dell Inspiron 1501! In this part of the video, we take a look at the computer in an overview. In Part 2, we talk about the battery life and we boot up the machine to see how fast it works!

@Dell0304 The video ended up being too long and too big to upload on my connection! I only have a 512 Kbps connection!
August 21st, 2011 on 9:45 pm
@Dell0304 That is the speed of your wireless card. Not your actual speed. Go to speedtest (dot) net and it will tell you your real speed.
August 21st, 2011 on 9:46 pm
@cugocat12 Oh yeah, I forgot…..I get 5MB download and 1MB upload. But it’s very fast.
August 21st, 2011 on 9:49 pm
@Dell0304 I have 25 down 25 up :)
August 21st, 2011 on 9:49 pm
@Dell0304 Yeah, hate to break it to you, but you probably know this. That’s just your wireless card speed. Sorry man. And 5 down 1 up isn’t really fast either.

@IBMThinkPadR51 Don’t worry about Dell’s comments. His connection is not 54 Mbps. That’s just his wireless card speed. He didn’t know better :)

@Hildron101010 Thanks for insulting me :S
August 21st, 2011 on 10:03 pm
@Hildron101010 yeah yeah…
August 21st, 2011 on 10:47 pm
@Hildron101010 My connection is 512 Kbps download and 120 Kbps Upload! Very slow for a DSL connection!
August 21st, 2011 on 10:49 pm
@IBMThinkPadR51 OK!!!!! DO YOU LIKE EXCLAMATION MARKS?!!!!!!!
August 21st, 2011 on 11:05 pm
Isn’t this thing like 7 years old? Why are you reviewing it?
August 21st, 2011 on 11:53 pm
Why does everyone get windows 7 ultimate? It’s so expensive… Home premium will do most of the same stuff and cost way less.
August 22nd, 2011 on 2:01 am
If I may offer a suggestion, have you tried reseating the keyboard cable?
August 22nd, 2011 on 2:18 am
@ryebread761 Well, I didn’t but it. lol! I downloaded it off of the Pirate Bay!
August 22nd, 2011 on 2:21 am
@MezashiTheCat I’ve taken the whole keyboard out before, and it doesn’t work still, only some keys do! The previous owner accidently spilt water on it and that’s why I have the computer, otherwise I wouldn’t have it!

@IBMThinkPadR51 I got a windows 7 image with all versions on it (starter x86 to enterprise x64) only 3.6 gigs, and in my native language. YAY!
the torrent no longer has seeders so I’m glad I burned it to a disc.
August 22nd, 2011 on 3:47 am
@thatapplegeek the 1501 is from 2006-2007.
August 22nd, 2011 on 4:16 am
@nelizmastr My disc is the same thing! Except mine is only in English!
August 22nd, 2011 on 6:11 am
@IBMThinkPadR51 then why ultimate? its the biggest resource hog of all versions. Home Premium and Enterprise are the lightest versions.
August 22nd, 2011 on 6:12 am
@nelizmastr I dont count starter since its not a premium version.
August 22nd, 2011 on 6:24 am
@nelizmastr Well, when I was installing it, my Windows 7 AIO disc wouldn’t work, so I installed XP, and then I used my other Windows 7 disc which is Ultimate only (I got it before I got the AIO) and that disc worked when XP was installed. If my AIO disc worked in the first place, I would have installed Professional.
August 22nd, 2011 on 7:29 am
@IBMThinkPadR51 the AIO didn’t work? like.. not bootable? then it’s probably burnt wrong, or wasn’t bootable to begin with.
August 22nd, 2011 on 2:40 pm
@IBMThinkPadR51 BAD!!!!!!!! AND ILLEGAL!!!!!!!
