List of Pros Highlights

Pros

I have been using It for a week now and I am extremely happy with the performance of the laptop.

This is a fantastic machine for home use at a great price.

This laptop is very good for those who works on large software and need more performance.

Cons

Very disappointed, still looking for answers, too bad there is NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT.

If you need something for actual business, I personally would NOT recommend this based on the settings alone.

The Dell Inspiron 15 5000 5570 / i5570 is a typical 15.6-inch mainstream laptop. As a great plus, it is based on powerful quad-core 8th Generation Intel Core processors, as opposed to previous-gen dual-core chips. The quad-core update brings a good performance boost, which is noticeable in computing intensive tasks like music and video production or photography editing.

As for the daily computing chores both available processor options – the Intel Core i5-8250U and i7-8550U – are more than sufficient. The same applies to system memory size of either 8 or 12 Gigabytes. Data storage options of the Dell 5570 / i5570 are generous, too. The basic one is a standard 1-Terabyte hard disk drive. You can add a 128GB solid state drive to the 1TB HDD for optimal speed and capacity. Or you can select pure 256GB SSD for even better performance. The notebook also optionally includes a built-in DVD optical drive.

As for gaming, the notebook’s Intel UHD 620 integrated graphics is a basic game rendering solution. You can use it only for non-demanding games. That’s no wonder, since the UHD 620 is basically a re-brand of the old HD 620. However, the 5570 / i5570 is also expected to be available with an optional dedicated video card.

Having a sharp Full HD 1920×1080-pixel display resolution instead of the budget HD 1366×768 is a good selling point of the Dell Inspiron 15 5000 5570 / i5570. The same applies to optional touch-screen support. But, the screen is based on TN technology, meaning it lacks IPS tech for wide viewing angles.

In the center of the platinum silver-colored chassis is a full-size keyboard with numeric pad and optional key backlight. The touchpad is a single-piece one, meaning it has click buttons integrated in the surface.

Furthermore, the laptop has stereo speakers, a 720p HD web-chat camera, 802.11AC Wi-Fi wireless and Ethernet LAN network connections, Bluetooth, two fast USB 3.1 ports and a slower USB 2.0 port, HDMI video output, a combo audio mic / headphones connector, and a 3-in-1 SD media card reader.

The 3-cell battery inside the 5570 has a medium-size capacity of 42 WHr. We have no info on battery life. Judging from the specs, we can assume it can last at least 4 hours on a charge.

Weight of the Dell Inspiron 15 5000 5570 / i5570 is 4.4 and 4.8 pounds without and with the DVD drive, respectively. The profile is 0.9″ thick.

Operating system choices are Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro.

Design

Dell's 15.6-inch, midrange notebook is a bland, chunky block. It has long been the case that the Inspiron lineup lacks any sort of aesthetic muse, and the Inspiron 15 5000 follows this trend. It's a plastic, silver slab bearing Dell's logo in a mirror sheen.

Lifting the lid reveals the 15.6-inch, 1080p screen surrounded by an almost offensively thick bezel and a plastic deck with a faux brushed-metal look. There's a fingerprint reader on the power button, and the keyboard is a black collection of island-style keys.

At 4.9 pounds and 15 x 10.2 x 0.9 inches, the Inspiron 15 5000 is just a bit slimmer than the Acer Aspire E 15 E5-576G-5762, which is the same weight, width and height but measures 1.2 inches thick.

The Inspiron has its fair share of ports, including an HDMI output, Ethernet jack, headphone jack and three USB 3.0 ports, as well as an SD card reader and (for those who still need one) a disc drive.

Display

The display on the Inspiron 15 5000 is truly horrendous. Sure, it's 15.6 inches and has a 1080p resolution, but it's also blurry and dim. When I watched the trailer for Avengers: Infinity war, Gamora's green skin had a sickly white tint, it was hard to make out the spiderweb patterns in Spider-Man's suit, and there was no hint of red in Star-Lord's jacket; instead, it appeared brown. The blue skies over Wakanda appeared gray, and Thanos had a blue tint on his purple flesh.

The screen on this laptop covers just 67 percent of the sRGB color gamut, falling below the mainstream laptop average (89 percent) and the Aspire's result (74 percent).

The Dell's panel measured an average of 175 nits, dimmer than both the Aspire (200 nits) and the average (230 nits). This Inspiron is also much dimmer than the older Inspiron 15 5000 with touch screen that we reviewed in 2017 (213 nits).

Keyboard and Touchpad

The keyboard on the Inspiron measures 1.4 millimeters of travel and requires 73 grams of force to press, but the keys feel cheap and loose, making them seem shallower than they are. This keyboard is just not very comfortable.

On the 10fastfingers.com typing test, I reached 104 words per minute, which is below my usual minimum of 107 words per minute; I got my usual error rate of 2 percent.

The 4.1 x 3.1-inch touchpad is nice and spacious, though the plastic is a little bouncy. I felt it quivering under my fingers when I was performing gestures like tapping three fingers to invoke Cortana quickly or two-finger scrolling (but the gestures, to Dell's credit, do work).

Audio

The speakers on the Inspiron are plenty loud and easily filled up a small conference room when I listened to Charli XCX's "Boom Clap." The song's vocals and drums were clear, though an underlying bass line didn't stand out from the rest of the mix. The preinstalled Waves MaxxAudio Pro has a bunch of preset equalizers and some dials to adjust the music, but I found that the default options were the best.

Performance

While our configuration of the Inspiron has an Intel Core i5-8250U and 8GB of RAM, which are poised for multitasking, its 1TB, 5,400-rpm HDD is slow compared to the SSDs you get in a lot of computers (you can pay extra to configure the Inspiron with an SSD). I had 15 tabs open in Google Chrome (one of which was streaming a 1080p episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers) when the laptop paused and showed the loading icon before I could open more tabs.

On the Geekbench 4 overall performance test, the Inspiron earned a score of 11,791, beating both the Aspire (9,278, also with a Core i5-8250U) and the mainstream laptop average (8,231).

The Inspiron took 39 seconds to duplicate 4.97GB of files (what you'd get on a full DVD), which comes out to a rate of 130.5MBps. That's slower than both the average (152.5MBps) and the Aspire (149.7Mbps).

The Inspiron took 1 minute and 11 seconds to complete our Excel spreadsheet macro, which pairs 65,000 names and addresses. That's faster than both the Aspire (1:30) and the average (1:49). The Inspiron was also faster on our HandBrake video-editing test, transcoding a 4K video to 1080p in 17 minutes and 11 seconds, beating both the Aspire (25:15) and the average (21:39).

But on the 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited graphics benchmark, the Inspiron earned a score of 69,943, falling below both the Aspire's 122,144 and the average (72,506). While the Inspiron uses Intel's integrated UHD 620 graphics, the Aspire, which costs more, has a dedicated Nvidia GeForce MX150 with 2GB of VRAM. That's nothing to game on, but it will give you a boost in Photoshop.

Battery Life

The brief battery life on the Inspiron will basically chain you to your desk. The system ran for a paltry 5 hours and 8 minutes on Laptop Mag Battery Test 2.0, which continuously browses the web, runs videos and plays through graphics benchmarks over Wi-Fi. The mainstream laptop average is 8 hours and 23 minutes, and the Aspire ran for an even-longer 9:26.

Webcam

Dell's 720p webcam takes dark photos that have little detail. In a selfie I took with the camera at my desk, I was covered in shadow, with my eyes darkened and my beard appearing darker than usual.

My brown shirt looked black, but the background was all properly lit.

Heat

The Inspiron stays cool under pressure, keeping under our 95-degree Fahrenheit comfort threshold. After the Inspiron streamed 15 minutes of HD video from YouTube, our heat gun measured 81 degrees Fahrenheit on the touchpad, 94 degrees between the G and H keys, and 90.5 degrees on the laptop's bottom.

Software and Warranty

Dell's software includes Mobile Connect, which lets you send texts and make calls from your iPhone or Android phone. On the latter, you can control the whole phone from your laptop. You also get Dell Power Manager, to help you manage how fast your battery drains, and Support Assist, to help with any technical issues.

Of course, you also get a bunch of junk that's built in to every copy of Windows 10, like Candy Crush Soda Saga, Bubble Witch 3 Saga, March of Empires: War of Lords and Netflix, among others.

Dell sells the Inspiron 15 50000 with a one-year warranty. See how the company performed in our Tech Support Showdown and Best and Worst Brands showdown.

What Does the Inspiron 15 5000 Cost?

The Inspiron we tested cost and came with an Intel Core i5-8250U, 8GB of RAM and a 1TB, 5,400-rpm HDD.

For, you can keep the same specs but update the display to a touch screen or swap out the hard drive with a 256GB SSD. At , you move to an 8th Gen Intel Core i7 CPU, 8GB of RAM, a 128GB SSD and a 1TB HDD, but no touch screen.

Bottom Line

The Dell Inspiron 15 5000 is an affordable 15-inch laptop with solid 8th Gen Core performance, but it's hindered by a horrible display and brief battery life.

In this case, an extra can make a big difference. We suggest bumping up for the Acer Aspire E 15 E5-576G-5762, which has almost 9 and a half hours of battery life, an SSD and dedicated graphics. And if it's a disc drive you're after, the Aspire has that, too. The Acer's display is also on the dim side, but it isn't as bad as the one on the Inspiron.

If you can't afford the extra , you'll still get solid performance on the Dell, but as an overall experience, it's just not as good as the Aspire.
