With the Intel Pentium Dual core inside, multitasking is unbelievable. One can do research on the internet, do an assignment, listen to music, play a game of solitaire, update your facebook status and more all at the same time. The days of doing one thing at a time are over.
The DELL INSPIRON N5030 has an integrated webcam and microphone with the image and sound quality screaming for Apple’s help. However, the 15.6” HD Display is good, but not great. It seems the more I use this notepad, the worse the touch pad get. The cursor goes to a completely different direction that I point it to go. Sometimes it even disappears to I don’t know where.
What more can I say other than this notebook was released way before its time.
There’s definitely more room for improvement.
The Good:
One can watch movies with the DVD-RW optical drive.
The Bad:
NO BLUETOOTH!!!!!! In this day and age, REALLY?!
The more data you store on the hard drive, the more time-consuming the notebook gets. But then again, it has the Intel Pentium.
My Opinion.
If you’re sick and of working at the desktop, not big on Bluetooth technology, don’t really care about webcam technology ‘cause you’re not into Skyping and new to the notebook world, then this is the laptop for you. It’s for people who just want to write documents, create spreadsheets and slide shows and that’s it for the day.
But if you’re a techno buff, love sending and receiving data via Bluetooth and other technologies, this is not the notebook for you. If your store a lot of memory consuming data and work countless hours on the laptop, then I recommend a notebook with a faster CPU, perhaps the Intel i3 Dual Core.
