DELL INSPIRON 15 TURN OFF TOUCHPAD SERIES

Wireless reception quality is great - even at a distance of 10 meters (with two walls in between), four or even five out of five bars could be measured, and even though two additional meters (and an additional wall) decrease this value to two bars, webpages still load rather quickly. In terms of Wi-Fi, however, Dell has (by using a Wireless-AC 3160 modem) included all standards, both the 2.4 GHz and the 5 GHz bands and even 802.11 ac. Our overall impression: Great design - the Inspiron 15-5547 looks both minimalistic and sleek, especially when considering its price point - but mediocre build quality.ДЄn Ethernet port can be found on the right-hand side of the chassis but is not capable of more than 100 Mbit/s (no Gigabit Ethernet). The same holds true for the display lid (despite being made from aluminum), with image distortions becoming visible once pressure is applied. In addition, there is not enough torsion resistance, especially when pressure is applied at the edges. Another gap can be felt between the metal lid and the display frame, and again, both parts can be pried apart. Although the case does ship with even clearances, the surface around the palm rest can actually be pulled up a bit, leading to a clearance between it and the rest of the base unit. This is better than the entire competition - but all of these devices do ship with an optical drive.Д«uild quality is decent given its price, but there are some weaknesses. Then again, the new model weighs 200 grams less, with just 2230 grams left. The Inspiron 15R, however, measured 31.3 millimeters, although it shipped with an optical drive which our test device omits. The new Inspiron 15-5547 never exceeds 22 millimeters in height, and due to its slightly wedged shape and its non-vertical edges, it appears to be even thinner. We do, however, like this choice a lot, and also the new, much slimmer shape when compared to the Inspiron 15R. There's not much choice in terms of colors: A combination of black and silver, that's it. While the de-facto predecessor, the Inspiron 15R, already used a combination of aluminum and plastic for its case, it felt a lot bulkier and less elegant than the Inspiron 15-5547. Dell tends to change the design of its laptops from generation to generation, and the same holds true with the Inspiron 15-5547: The chassis has been revamped completely.

The MSI CX61 and the HP Pavilion 15 are also interesting alternatives.ДЄs already mentioned, the 5000 series marks the new middle-class when it comes to the Inspiron series, with a premium plastic chassis and even a lid made from brushed aluminum. an Acer TravelMate P255, an Acer Aspire E1-572G, an Asus X550LD or a HP Compaq 15. The device thus plays in the same league as e.g. In addition, the 5000 series provides more performance: Our test device ships with both an Intel Core i5-4210U and a dedicated GPU made by AMD. While they may not ship with a metal chassis, its plastic case comes with a much better build quality than that of the 3000 series devices. The Inspiron 5000 laptops are placed in between. Our review will show whether it is actually worth it.Дell's Inspiron series of multimedia laptops now comes in three different categories, ranging from the extremely cheap Inspiron 15, entry-level models with an Intel Pentium or an Intel Core i3 CPU (the 3000 series) and the exclusive 7000 series ultrabooks with aluminum cases and touchscreens. Alternatively, the Dell Inspiron 15-5547 can be purchased for this amount of money, a multimedia laptop with a sleek (though simple) design and a dedicated GPU made by AMD. Nowadays, what can be had for just 579 Euros (~$774)? In some larger cities, this is barely enough for one month's rent. For the original German review, see here.
