Reviews for the Dell Inspiron 15 5579

Dell Inspiron 15 5579 [Core i7-8550U] review – better performance, familiar experience Source: Laptop Media

Archive.org version Even though the price has increased, the only thing that Dell changed here is the CPU. Don’t get us wrong, though, it’s not just another incremental upgrade since the Core i7-8550U delivers an impressive computing power over the last generation but to be honest, we were expecting more changes, at least under the hood.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

Are Dell Inspiron laptops worth it?

If you're looking for a powerful new laptop that can pull double duty playing games, then the Inspiron 16 Plus does a good job as long as you don't need bleeding-edge performance. It even can give you all-day battery life for work scenarios, assuming you're not a professional gamer, of course.

What is the difference between Dell Inspiron i5 and i7?

The biggest differences between these two CPUs are the base frequency and maximum turbo frequency that can be hit, making the Core i7 version better for power users. It will handle multitasking much better, and it won't eat much more power in the process.

What are the specs of the Dell i7 8th generation?
