The mobile PC market is rapidly splitting into two vastly different sectors (three if you actually bother counting PDAs -which we won't). On the one hand you've got sleek-looking magnesium alloy styled, super slim, ergonomic, lightweight and low power consuming Notebooks (they're getting thin enough to impress Jane Fonda). On the flip side, we have "desktop replacements" that keep getting larger, heavier and faster.

Dell's Inspiron range of Notebooks fall into the later category sometimes weighing as much as a ten-pound sack of potatoes. But with full support for DVD, a beautiful 15.1-inch screen and with enough battery life capability to last a long-haul flight from Seattle to JFK do you really care about the weight? We take a look at Dell's latest addition to the Inspiron 7000 range, which also happens to be the fastest notebook CPU your money can buy- the Pentium II 400MHz model.
