This review is from: Dell Inspiron 11z-1121 laptop / Intel i3-330um / WiMax 4G Networking / 2GB DDR3 / 11.6” HD Truelife WLED / 250G Hard Drive – Obsidian Black (Personal Computers)
I’ve had the Dell 1121 for over a week now.
Let me just say it’s the best netbook you can get for your money. And I say netbook only because it’s lacks an optical drive, but it’s really a laptop shrunk the size of a netbook.

The Dell 11z-1121 is a great little netbook. In my classroom, I have used older Dell netbooks, Lenovo netbooks, and Asus netbooks. This is a great improvement. I had been using an 11 inch Macbook Air as my personal travel PC, but that recently went to my youngest daughter. Needing a replacement and on a tight budget, I looked for a less expensive replacement. The Dell 11z was my choice, and I am not dissapointed. On the pro side, it has a great screen and keyboard. It is ruggedly built. Memory upgrades are easy. It comes with Windows Premium 7 (while not Mac OSX, it is still a good system). The processor is fast. It has everything I need for teaching – a VGA port, three USB ports, and a good sound system. On the con side, Amazon dropped the ball. The main picture on Amazon’s web site is not a Dell 11z. It is a picture of a laptop with a DVD drive, and this is misleading. Amazon, while you strive for perfection, you are not quite there. I will say, though, delivery was good. Keep trying.

Best Ultra-Portable/Netbook Out There,
I’ve had the Dell 1121 for over a week now.
Let me just say it’s the best netbook you can get for your money. And I say netbook only because it’s lacks an optical drive, but it’s really a laptop shrunk the size of a netbook.
The 2nd Gen Core i3 really kicks butt, and it blows the ASUS 1215N-PU27-BK 12.1-Inch Netbook (Black) out of the water for about the same price!
- Minecraft runs with only minimal lag (You’ll need to upgrade the RAM to 8GB, but it’s not a big deal because the netbook has two slots.
- It plays Left 4 Dead 2 and Portal 2 with decent FPS after you turn the graphics down some.
Well worth it.
