With its stylish silver, white, and black design, Dell's Inspiron 700m borrows a page from Apple's playbook. Measuring 1.2 inches thick (closer to 1.6 inches thick in the back, due to its little rubber feet), the Inspiron 700m is truly a mighty mite. In fact, it's thinner, narrower, and lighter by several ounces than the Sony VAIO V505, although the 700m is heavier than the IBM ThinkPad X40.

The Inspiron 700m weighs 4.1 pounds, and with its 14-ounce power-pack, its travel weight is less than 5 pounds. You'll need a three-prong outlet (or adapter) to charge it--an action that, unfortunately, you'll have to do quite often. The Inspiron 700m's paltry 2,200mAh cell runs for only about 2.5 hours, at least an hour short of the V505's battery life and half as long as the ThinkPad X40 lasts. For this reason, we recommend getting the $129 double-capacity battery, which can power the 700m for about 5 hours; it adds about 6 ounces and 0.7 inches to the unit's profile, however.

Mitigating the benefits of the Inspiron 700m's slim size is its undersize keyboard. With its 17.9mm keys and a skimpy 1.8mm of depth--about average for a system of this type--typing is a chore. We prefer the keyboard on the ThinkPad X40. On the other hand, the unit's pair of tiny speakers, located below the screen, sound surprisingly strong and natural; however, there's no dedicated volume control wheel or button, so you're forced to use the function key controls. We like the good-size touch pad that sits below the keyboard, but it lacks a scroll button for whizzing through long documents.

I bought this machine direct from Dell for $1850 Canadian (tax out). This was a pretty good deal- there was a graduation promotion that saved me a few hundred dollars. Too bad we don't have those awesome coupons like they do in the U.S.A. In the States, this laptop is considered a budget computer while in Canada, it is literally the most expensive one. I was angry because I had been awaiting the ship date all week, and Dell missed it by a few days.

Battery life of Dell Inspiron 700m

Unlike its excellent mobile performance, the Dell Inspiron 700m's battery life leaves much to be desired, particularly for a system designed with mobility in mind. In our tests, the Inspiron 700m lasted about two and a half hours--46 percent less than the Gateway M275XL and 57 percent less than the HP Compaq nc6000. The Inspiron 700m's lackluster performance is due to its meager 14.8V, 2,200mAh (33WHr) battery, which got dusted by the Gateway M275XL's 14.8V, 3,600mAh (53WHr) battery and the HP Compaq nc6000's 14.4V, 4,400mAh (63WHr) battery. Though its battery life wasn't terrible, we wish that Dell had included a more powerful battery for such an inherently portable system..

DELL battery tips:

• Before you use your new DELL battery for the first time you must charge them fully. Please note that for new rechargeable DELL notebook batteries, it is often necessary to cycle them at least three to five times or more before they reach peak performance and capacity. The first several times that you use your batteries DELL , you may find that they run down (discharge) quickly during use. Not to worry, this is normal until the batteries actually form up. No memory effect. Chargeable even if it has not been used up yet.
  
• It is important to condition (fully discharge and then fully charge) the DELL laptop battery every two to three weeks. Failure to do so may significantly shorten the laptop battery's life (this does not apply to Li-Ion batteries, which do not require conditioning). To discharge, simply run the device under the DELL battery's power until it shuts down or until you get a low battery warning. Then recharge the battery as instructed in the user's manual.
  
• If the DELL battery will not be in use for a month or longer, it is recommended that it be removed from the device and stored in a cool, dry, clean place.
  
• It is normal for the replacement for DELL battery to become warm to the touch during charging and discharging.
