Current models in the range include the B130/1300, E1405/640m, E1505/6400 and, E1705/9400.

Current configurations

The following are some current configurations of Dell laptops:

Inspiron E1405/640m

A 14" notebook configurable with components similar to the E1505 (excluding the dedicated GPU options) but a bit smaller in total size. The E1405 at the time of release is known for its excellent battery life (which under optimum conditions exceeds five hours with a six-cell battery and well over eight hours with a slightly more expensive, optional nine-cell battery). The main attraction of this laptop is its price.

Inspiron E1505/6400

With the advent of the Core Duo, Dell replaced the 6000 with the E1505 (US) and 6400 (Non-US, as well as U.S. Small Business). While most of the standard features are identical, there are some interesting variations between the two, such as the inclusion of Windows Media Center edition on the E1505, while the 6400 comes stock with XP Home. Many reviewers have commented that the standard battery does not last long, only marginally over two hours with the six cell battery; the nine cell battery, however, can last for over five hours

Inspiron E1705/9400

The Inspiron E1705 and Inspiron 9400 (non-US models) are essentially the same machine - with a few minor differences in configuration.

Available with either an Intel Core Duo or Core 2 Duo processor, this machine features a 17-inch WXGA+ (1440 x 900) or WUXGA (1920 x 1200) wide-screen LCD. Video card options also include an nVidia GeForce Go7900 GS (single heat pipe), ATI Radeon x1400 with 256mb of RAM or an Intel GMA 950. This model uses 533 MHz or 667 MHz of DDR2 memory. The E1705 tends to run hot on its underside.

Note: For gaming and high-end graphics use, the GeForce Go7900 GS video card is highly recommended over the Radeon x1400. This is primarily due to faster data processing and fewer heat problems. Additionally, 7900GS can be easily overclocked to reach 3DMARK06 scores as high as in 5000 range.

Inspiron B130

The Inspiron B130, successor to the aforementioned B120, is currently the lowest-priced laptop offered by Dell. A basic entry-level laptop, the B130 comes with a 15.4 inch WXGA screen, 1.40 GHz Intel Celeron M 360 processor, 512 MB of RAM, 40GB 5400rpm hard drive, and a 24X CD/DVD burner drive. Wireless support is available with the B130.
