These Inspiron "Plus" models (15" and 16") are fantastic. Unlike XPS, these are reasonably priced for the specifications. They are a great choice for someone who likes the power and good looks of XPS machines, but they don't want to pay XPS prices to get it.
I would avoid this 15" one and just get a used Inspiron 16 Plus instead, which will be far more powerful with a MUCH better screen (3k) for a similar price.
Reading your and others reviews of DELL laptops seems to have one thing in common - Holyness! It always seems to be the number one of which just the name DELL seems to be enough.How come? I am an enthousiast laptop user for many years and follow its development with high interest. What I dont understand is why DELL seems to be a real Saint. At the moment I am using a LG 15" ultrabook being very light, totally silent and looking nicely. What I am "missing" is the "touch" display. I am still waiting for a good replacement which most probably will be the new Surface laptop "5" although the new Galaxy book 2 pro 360 seems a good option too!
DELL does not know how to take care of WEIGHT, surely not if larger than 14". DELL does not know what "SILENT" is either.
However both, for me very negative factors, seems of no influence to the holy adoration of the Saint DELL.
Maybe one day I will understand, or more important DELL takes "SILENCE" and "WEIGHT" serieus.
P.S. This is a general comment and not to Notebookcheck in particular. I love your in depth reviews!
With the Inspiron 15 Plus, Dell offers a sleek and compact multimedia laptop that is suitable for all kinds of purposes. We took a detailed look at the 15-inch laptop.
