A Detailed Review Of The Dell Inspiron 15 3000 (2020) Laptop
The Dell Inspiron 15 3000 (model 3501) is an affordable ultraportable laptop running on Windows. It offers Intel 11th Gen. CPUs, ranging from Core i3 to Core i7. You can choose between integrated graphics or an NVIDIA GeForce MX330 discrete GPU, with options for up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.
The display choices include a 720P TN or a 1080P IPS panel. The laptop features a full-size keyboard with a Numpad, a 720p webcam, and a 42Wh battery. In terms of ports, it includes three USB-As, HDMI 1.4, an SD card reader, and an Ethernet port.
For school use, the Dell Inspiron 15 3000 is decent. Its slim and lightweight design enhances portability, and despite being constructed entirely of plastic, it feels sturdy. The display is reasonably sharp, and the touchpad performs well, but the keyboard can be fatiguing during prolonged typing sessions. The Intel 11th Gen CPU handles most tasks effectively, but the integrated and entry-level discrete GPU options may not be suitable for graphics-intensive activities like 3D rendering. Unfortunately, the webcam produces dark and unnatural images, and the screen lacks sufficient brightness to combat glare. Additionally, the battery life falls short of eight hours under light productivity, necessitating occasional charging.
