    Review by B. McLoughlin for Dell Inspiron i1464-4382OBK 1464 14-Inch Laptop (Obsidian Black) Rating: Pros:

    - The laptop is considerably light for its monitor size.

    - It’s very attractive and glossy.

    - The keyboard has a good tactile response.

    - Excellent heat dispersion (so far; it hasn’t had time to build up dust or anything)

    Cons:

    - The glossy finish makes this a fingerprint magnet. Be careful if you’re anal about these things!

    - Intel HD graphics are adequate for productivity, but don’t expect cutting-edge gaming.

    - Computer ships with OS on separate partition, making file management tedious unless you reinstall yourself.

    Detail:

    I bought this computer about a week ago as a “mobile hub” for my college career (computer science). In terms of size, this strikes a good chord between functionality and portability. It’s considerably lighter than it looks in the pictures, but nothing has a cheap feel to it. The track pad has a nice grain feel to it, and the edges are tapered to give a smooth feel at the corners; it’s responsiveness is a little questionable, though. Finally, the computer has a very attractive and clean layout, but its high-gloss design is a real fingerprint magnet. Watch out if you’re a neat freak, as you’ll be spending a lot of time wiping off smudges.

    Review by Mario F. Maradiaga Cobos for Dell Inspiron i1464-4382OBK 1464 14-Inch Laptop (Obsidian Black) Rating: I have this laptop since yesterday. I have had no problem whatsoever with the laptop. I was initially discouraged when I heard that people were having trouble with the touch pad and the media keys, but I personally have not found any tidiousness with them.

    Pros:

    - Sleek design

    - Sound is good

    - 4 gb of ram is more than enough to run any program (Corel, Sony Vegas are no biggie)

    -The Dell Dock is very productive and efficient, (same or even better than Apple’s dock)

    Cons:

    -Obsidian Black is a finger print magnet. (you will need to clean your laptop almost twice a day)

    -I do not know why but microsoft ranged my laptop a 3.2/7.1

    -Battery runs out pretty fast. With Win 7 power saver and dells plan as well you could get 3 1/2 hours tops.

    I would highly recommend this laptop and I have no regrets on buying it so far.

    Review by King for Dell Inspiron i1464-4382OBK 1464 14-Inch Laptop (Obsidian Black) Rating: Had a latitude that died. Bought this laptop to replace it for business use. Biggest probs with it is print spooler continuously shuts off and you have to go thru 5-6 clicks to restart it several times a day. Very frustrating. Called dell support the first week. Was on hold for 45 minutes in the queue waiting for tech help. Once I got a live person (from india) he immed began a hard sell for the 270 dollar warranty package because I neede assTtce with software issues. When I called him on it and said “this is a hardware issue and dell’s problem. are you refusing to even hear about the problem in an attempt to sell me something,” he promptly hung up on me. I had wasted an hour. Dell support is a joke.

    The other issue is the mousepad gets stuck pretty often, either blocking text when I don’t intend to–forcing me to lift my hand and do a double tap or right click to turn off the blocking.

    Review by Zalak Thakkar for Dell Inspiron i1464-4382OBK 1464 14-Inch Laptop (Obsidian Black) Rating: Hey Guys,

    I bought this directly from Dell, The good things are:

    Very light weight – very easy to carry around everywhere

    Very thin – Unless you are comparing it to macbook air or something like that, its extremely thin.

    Very Fast – the I3 processor is very fast

    Here are the negatives:

    First and FOREMOST – the mouse pad(or finger pad, whatever you would call it) is nto very practical, if your hands have even a bit of moisture or sweat, the mousepad wont respond well. In fact it is so painful that It makes the computer very much less productive than my previous laptop.

    The keyboard also seems very crammed.

    Review by R. Wall for Dell Inspiron i1464-4382OBK 1464 14-Inch Laptop (Obsidian Black) Rating: I’ve had similar observations to what previous raters have had…smudges easily, partitioning the hard drive is not a smart setup, and battery life is okay, but quite a bit less than desired. The good stuff…I love the keyboard. It may feel a little cramped for those with bigger hands, but it feels solid; good quality. Thats important to me on a laptop since it’s the part receiving the most interaction from the user. The mouse pad is great too. I love the soft, yet solid feel of the buttons. The size and weight are fantastic–super portable. The processor is quick in my opinion, although I don’t play games or use graphics intense programs. The startup is a little slower than I’d prefer, but shutdown makes up for it. The design is very nice. Slick looking box, and very clean looking. I’ve had some trouble getting the brightness to stay down when I adjust it down while it’s on the battery, but that may be because I don’ know if I’m doing it correctly. I’ve only had it for a week or so now, but I’ll come back in a month or so to input any updates/revelations.
