1:28 PM | Posted by ProJ | | Edit Post

In a world of over $ 1000 Ultrabooks, it is good to know that you can always take a solid all-purpose laptop for under $ 600. 5520 The Dell Inspiron 15R is not beautiful, elegant, or lightweightâ????, And certainly not the best performance artist???? But at a low price, is an attractive option for people who are on a budget look.
Our review model, which costs $ 600, features a third-generation Intel Core i5-3210m processor, 6GB of RAM and a 500 GB hard drive running at 5400 rpm. The 15R also features integrated Bluetooth 4.0 and 802.11n Wi-Fi, one DVD-RW, and runs the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium. For $ 50 less, you can enter the 15R with an Intel second generation i3-2370m processor and for $ 100 more, you can get a 1 TB hard drive and 8GB of RAM. You can not, however, collect the 15R with a discrete graphics card.

performance tests PCWorld WorldBench, the Dell Inspiron 15R 5520 scored a 82. This means that the 15R is 18 percent slower than our test model, which has a Core i5 second generation (even if a desktop processor), 8 GB of RAM and a 1TB hard drive .

15R Although the score is not top-of-the-line, this is what we expect from a budget all-purpose laptop that does not have a discrete graphics card. In comparison, M14xâ Alienware???? What is a high-end 14-inch laptop designed for gamersâ???? recorded a mark of 143, while the HP Envy Sleekbook 6z-1000, which looks good, but has an AMD processor, scored 55.

The Inspiron 15R competency testing on individual performance, exceeding the Lenovo IdeaPad U410 (an Ultrabook) and HP Envy Sleekbook. In our performance testing Web, 15R managed 13.8 frames per second, which is higher (better) than most laptops and Ultrabooks AMD, but still less than the Alienware M14x. Also performed well in our tests of storage performance and content creation, but was unable to start quickly (43.1 seconds) compared to ultrabooks boot time "(Lenovo launches in less than half the time).

Because

depends 15R Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics, graphics performance is insufficient. In our tests graphics of Crysis 2, 15R managed frame rates of between 13.7 (high quality settings, 1366-by-768-pixel resolution) and 32.5 (low values ??of quality, resolution 600 800 pixels frames per second). If it is not too bad for integrated graphics, after all

â??
is playable 32.5 fps â??
is far from what is a dedicated card, discrete graphics give. For example, the Alienware M14x, which features an Nvidia GeForce GT 650M graphics card achieves frame rates of between 46.5 and 99 in the same tests.

battery life on the Inspiron 15R is the average category. In our tests, we managed to get 5 hours and 2 minutes of battery life, which is what we expect from a laptop of this size. In comparison, the Alienware M14x gets 5 hours and 3 minutes, while the HP Envy Sleekbook got 6 hours and 35 minutes.
