This price-range contains, among others, the following devices, which we have previously tested partly with modified configurations. Therefore, our 15-incher competes with the entry-level multimedia-laptops in the price-range of under 550 Euros (~$734). This makes it nearly 150 Euros (~$200) cheaper than the flagship Inspiron 15R-5521 ( HD 8730M), which we reviewed in February 2013. The package is freely available on the market for 540 Euros (~$720). A matte plastic chassis without flourish topped off with a haptic pattern accompanied by hardware of the lower mid-range (but with a 1 TB HDD), a run-of-the-mill glossy-display and the basic interfaces, which are typical for a consumer laptop.īut it is the hardware that makes this plain notebook so interesting: A low-voltage processor Core i5-3337U that might as well be installed in an ultrabook combined with an AMD Radeon HD 8750M (2 GB). This is what crossed our minds after unpacking the Inspiron 15. For the original German review, see here.
