I have had my 1520 t7500 2.2ghz for a year now. Still feels like a top notch laptop and performs really well.

Pros: NVIDIA 8600 card and CPU with 2gig ram provide great performance. Seems to run FEAR like a dream etc..

Cons: Yeah it's heavy but I don't move it all that much.

I had mine for few days now, I've been using laptops since 1996 and I tried all famous brands but I always wanted to buy a DELL but they use to be very expensive and they look ugly, but with choices of colors they really look great.

I really like the performance and the feel you get when you type on the keyboard also I like the silver color of the interior which makes it looks clean at all times.

Very stable and screen is so bright and crispy.

Pros: keyboard layout and wide inside to rest your hands, wonderful pictures, very quite even when the fan is on, feels solid, good sound, I like the remote very much with lots of functions

Cons: Thick and heavier than my previous laptops.

I have had my Dell Inspiron 1520 for a few months now, and I must say that it is awesome! I have t7100 core 2 duo processor in mine, topped by 8600 G-Force graphics and 4 GB RAM. Mine is very very sweet!!!

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing at all!!!! I work out as well, so weight of this beauty means nothing to me!!

i've only had my 1520 for a couple of days now, but i'm hooked!

Pros: Choosing the colour for the top was cool. the high resolution display is really good.

Cons: i agree that it is a bit heavy to carry around, but its a good computer, so i reckon its probably worth it.

Most negative comments I've read about Dell are about their delivery times and customer service. I might've been one of the lucky ones, I don't know, but I ordered my Dell 1520 (2.2 Ghz; T7500, 250Gb, 256mB NVIDIA 8600, matte black finish, 2yr warranty with accidental cover) on Monday and received it the following Wednesday (would've been Tues if I'd caught the call). Customer service wasn't bad either when I phoned through my order. The lady had a bit of trouble matching the configuration to the price I came up with using their website, but that was sorted by saving my order to the cart and giving her the number. I got $50 off and a free printer (free targus bag already included)- better than nothing, I suppose. The laptop itself is great! especially compared to my 4yo Pentium 4 Compaq that was as loud as they get and took ~3 secs everytime I switch windows. Time to retire. Oh, I didn't get that high screeching sound that some people have complained about.

Pros: Really really quiet, although u can still hear it.
Very responsive.
Does not get very hot at all.
Vibrant screen.
Wifi works well, although it keeps needing "repairing" before it'd work again after I switch it off.

Cons: Glossy screen- very distracting for me when i can see my own reflection, made worse coz I like my screen dimmed down.
Heavier and longer than I expected- though it still feels lighter than my old laptop.
Touchpad- had to disable it when I use my mouse coz i'd accidently touch it and my cursor jumps to a new place in Word and mess things up.
No shortcut buttons to hibernate or lock, but can find ways around this annoyance on the web.
I was told that the ExpressMedia remote control actually doesn't come standard if I have Vista Business instead of the Home edition. Seems wrong to me.

I am a Dell hater i hate all their products which were really overpriced seriously you could have got a better laptop with those prices..
But now when i took a look at the 1520 it is a killer deal, an 8600m GT in a laptop with those prices and specs is a monster for games!

Pros: GRAPHICS CARD!! 8600M GT
Price!
Free upgrade of ram ATM!
Fast
Colours!

Cons: Heavy? its ok to me well i work out so that takes into account :P.
I feel like a walking ad for dell
