Dell Inspiron 15 i15RV-8526BLK 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black)

Actual Dell Inspiron 15 i15RV-8526BLK 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black) review from user.
If you are looking for a laptop for daily operation, this should be a good one.

The computer is capable of handling daily operation. For me, I just use it to surf webs and work on Microsoft office, so it is good enough in terms of its price and performance. It is a pretty solid laptop and so far I don't have problems with it. The temperature of the computer is always cool even I keep it on 24 hrs. Another thing I liked about this laptop is its sound quality. Most laptops have very bad sound quality which the sound is very thin and usually cracks when you turn up the volume too high. Also, the keyboard is another add-on which it gives you a good response when you are tying. However, the screen is not too good in terms of its viewing angle and the color reproduction, but for this price, I am satisfied.

Powerful yet annoying
I needed a new laptop to replace my 7 yr. old Dell workhorse which was on its last leg. I'm not one to splurge on electronics and so to replace it I targeted sub $500 laptops, being more concerned about features and longevity than looks. In terms of features and longevity for the price this laptop fit the bill:
- 4th Gen i5 processor
- HDMI
- USB 3 ports
- Comes with 6 GB of RAM but it's upgradeable to 16 GB
- Wireless N and Bluetooth, both of which are upgradeable as well

An eSATA port and touchscreen would have been the icing on the cake in terms of my future-proofing needs/wants, but for the price I'm not going to complain.

In terms of looks and quality of the build:
- The case is plastic, but it's fairly rugged. I'm not worried about it cracking or breaking in the long run. Looks-wise it's black and boring - not a show stopper by any means. The matte finish does pick up grease from your fingers and so you end up with...

Computer

This is a great computer for school. The I 5 processor is fantastic, a big difference in the speed, this computer is so much better than my last computer.
