Jump Lists
New in Windows 7, Jump Lists take you right to the documents, pictures, songs, or websites you turn to each day. To open a Jump List, just right-click a program icon on the Windows 7 taskbar. (You'll also find them on the Start menu.) What you see in a Jump List depends entirely on the program. The Jump List for Internet Explorer 8 shows frequently-viewed websites. Windows Media Player 12 lists commonly-played tunes. Your Jump List missing a favorite? You can "pin" whatever files you like there. Jump Lists don't just show shortcuts to files. Sometimes they also provide quick access to commands for things like composing new e‑mail messages or playing music.

Improved Windows Taskbar
In Windows 7 you can "pin" favorite programs anywhere on the taskbar for easy access. Not crazy about the icon lineup? Now you can rearrange them any way you like by clicking and dragging. Finally, there are new ways to preview windows. Point to a taskbar icon to see a thumbnail preview of open files or programs. Then, move your mouse over a thumbnail to preview the window full-screen. You can even close windows from the thumbnail previews--a big time saver.

Snap
Ever need to cut through a cluttered desktop and quickly focus on a single window? Just click a pane and give your mouse a shake. Every open window except that one instantly disappears. Jiggle again--and your windows are back.

This review is from: Dell Inspiron iM501R-1459MRB 15.6-Inch Laptop (Mars Black) (Personal Computers)

This is a great computer for the price. I am a full time student and just bought this computer for school. I am an accounting major and the 10 key is awesome for working with excel. I looked around for a computer with similar specs and I couldnt find one as good as a deal as this one. The 500gb hard drive, 4gb of ram, and a dedicated video card was just what I was looking for, at the right price. Its very fast and feels really nice. Its is a finger print magnet but thats what they have micro fiber cloth for :) So all in all dell has made a great computer that looks nice and performs well.

I have been looking for a laptop for a while, and I was about to get a Macbook Pro (because I'm an artist and it's the industry preferred...) but once I saw this laptop for the price, I had to have it. Glad I did, it was over $100 less than Best Buy is selling it, and who knows how much less than Dell is actually selling it for. I got 2 day shipping, and it came yesterday evening. Amazing size, everything is awesome. My brother is jealous and this is a complete upgrade from my personal computer since 2004!!!

LOVE IT.

I purchased this for my 14 year old son. He is a gamer, and needed his own computer. This computer had the RAM and other features he needed for the price I wanted.

This is my second Dell laptop purchase. I still use my 5 year old laptop. We are both very pleased.
