The good:
  • Excellent battery life
  • Good value for money
The bad:
  • Previous-generation chipset
  • Heavy for a thin-and-light
The bottomline:

The Dell Inspiron 13 is great for those hampered by a tight budget, but who still want a competent and power-efficient thin-and-light notebook with a decent design.
