Reviewer score 45% (normalized by Neofiliac)Dell's Inspiron 15 3501 is not built for high performance. The laptop produces low noise levels and barely heats up. The built-in Core i7-1165G7 processor delivers enough performance for office and Internet applications. An alternative to the Inspiron would be the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 15C.
Pros
- Matte IPS display
- Good color reproduction
- Good battery life
Cons
- Slow memory card reader
- Slow Wi-Fi
