Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Series

The lower-end version of the Inspiron 15 7000 costs about as much as the lower-end Inspiron 14 7000, and the same goes for the higher-end versions of both as well. That leaves us with an interesting set of choices. As far as the lower-end ones go, it’s a fairly simple toss-up between portability and drive speed on one hand and connectivity and graphics horsepower on the other. You’re saddled with an unfortunate low-res screen either way, so the particular variant that we’ve tested today comes out looking a bit unappealing.

There’s more of a gulf between the two higher-end models; we step up to a decent 1080p screen and 1TB of storage space in addition to the processor upgrade. This is the version of the Inspiron 15 7000 that looks much more interesting, but pricewise, it’s in a totally different league.

We really do like what Dell has accomplished here, but we would have been far more enthusiastic about this specific version of the Inspiron 15 7000 Series if it had had even a halfway decent screen. We wouldn’t even have minded the awkward keyboard. As it stands though, we can’t whole-heartedly endorse such a premium device with such a glaring weakness. If you can spend enough to get the higher-spec model, then by all means, go ahead and consider it.
