Plus, unlike a console, this laptop can play pretty anything released for the Windows platform at around 60 frames per second, which is a good showing. You can be assured of playing all other games on medium to high settings, at par, or even better than what you’d experience on the Xbox One X. It can do Far Cry primal at the native resolutions as recommended by Nvidia’s GeForce Experience software, and it won’t drop any frame rates. You can use it to play Full HD videos, edit videos and other multimedia projects without any issuers to speak of. It is among the best you can get, especially on a feature-price basis. In real world, the Dell Inspiron i7577-5241BLK-PUS isn’t a system you can easily passby and move to something else. Not a big difference at a glance, but it isn’t mean feat considering that the Dell Inspiron is using a GTX 1060 that’ slightly strangled by a thinner profile, a feat worth celebrating. That said, systems with GTX 1050 Ti could easily come closer to the GTX 1060 iteration, perhaps 50 fps on the same game tests. It is even 0.02 inches thinner, which is a good showing.įor instance, in the graphically intensive Hitman (played at Very High settings), the Legion rendered the game at 62 fps, a smidge behind the Predator’s 64 fps –both with GTX 1060 GPUs, while the Inspiron 15 managed 59 fps, still ahead of the mainstream average of 55 fps. The good news is the Max-Q version of the InspiGaming beats its predecessor from last year on almost every category. For that, we can easily understand the slight performance inferiority at this price point. It shouldn’t come to anyone as a surprise that the Inspiron 15 is generally weaker than the Lenovo Legion Y720 or the Acer Predator Helios 300, whose name we dropped earlier in this review.īut, because both of these laptops wield souped-up Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor alongside their GTX 1060 GPUs, VR ready and cost slightly more than this iteration of the Inspiron 15. The processor isn’t part of Intel’s latest generation, but it’s still proficient. Running the show are a 2.5GHz Intel Core i5-7300HQ processor, 8GB of memory, and the Nvidia GTX 1060 (with 6 GB DDR5). It is very classical to think that anybody gaming will have a mouse at hand –in reality, that isn’t true for everyone. Simply put, bring along a mouse for gaming. Worse still, its default settings mean that you won’t use it while keys are being pressed. It isn’t particularly large, nor is it overtly responsive to my liking. Just above is a power switch that doubles up as a fingerprint reader, which is a lovable inclusion.īelow it is a trackpad that’s slightly offset towards the left. With 1.4mm Key travel, its response decent and feels nice to touch. That said, the Inspiron 15 Gaming has a red-backlit keyboard, with a full-size number pad. It uses a ‘sub-1’ design, which is equipped with a single hinge and huge cooling vents on the front and rear. Instead, the Dell 15 sports a matte black finish that works in its favor, especially in making the ventilation look sophisticated. If that something you demand, better look elsewhere. I do find the red and black color scheme to be ‘rather’ edgy, but I find solace in its subdued looks compared to what Dell does with its Alienware Series.Īt this price range, you don’t expect anything close to customizable RGB keys or case LEDs. The Inspiron 15 sports a well-crafted magnesium alloy exterior, with a subtle appearance. DesignĪs far as Dell’s InspiGaming Series laptops go, an all-aluminum premium build is never in the cards. You’ll discover that it’s not easy to find a system, for under a grand, that delivers on the promise of true portability and unmatched gaming prowess as this. For the enthusiast PC game on a budget, the Dell i7577-5241BLK-PUS – henceforth known as ‘Inspiron 15 Gaming’ – seems like a compelling choice, especially if you need notebook with subdued looks for both work and play. In fact, compares more to the Acer Predator Helios 300 or the MSI GL62M, and less to the Asus Zephyrus. With the new design and massive gaming power, the Zephyrus was priced way out of reach for most gamers. All was going well, until we saw the price tag. Sure, Asus did release it, and as expected, it was a spectacle to behold – with the right gaming notes and performance caps.Īt the time, it was the first notebooks to leverage Nvidia’s Max-Q technology, that allows high-end graphics cards to fit into super-slim laptops. When the Asus ROG Zephyrus GX501 was being released, we suspected it would be the epitome of all gaming laptops. The Dell i7577-5241BLK-PUS is the antithesis of the ROG GX501, with the Nvidia’s Max-Q internal design, meaning all components have been packed into a frame that’s just under an inch-thick.
