No matter whether you equip the Inspiron 15 3000 with an Athlon, Pentium, or Celeron processor, performance is going to be relatively lackluster.Now, we conduct the battery tests with Windows Better performance setting turned on, screen brightness adjusted to 120 nits, and all other programs turned off except for the one we are testing the notebook with. Additionally, there is a fingerprint reader, embedded into the power button, as well as an HD camera above the display, and although there is no Wi-Fi 6 support, most of the routers you use as of now, are still supporting only the 802. The Ryzen 7 processor is ready to tackle everything from editing software to your biggest projects and more.

A better approach would be to upgrade to a full HD resolution, which comes standard on the Ryzen 3 configuration. I did have to deactivate Windows 10 S Mode, which is turned on by default in the test configuration, to run most apps. The stereo speakers are rated for a maximum of 5 watts of output, 20% more than the 4 watts that is common even on many premium laptops. Ensure that the power adapter is connected to your computer when it is turned on for the first time. The Inspiron 15 3000 is the middle child of the Inspiron 3000-series family, situated in between the largest Inspiron 17 3000 model, with a 17-inch display, and the baby 14-inch Inspiron 14 3000.

But considering the way the market is set up right now, we feel that this notebook can be particularly successful. The Inspiron 15 3000 includes a dedicated HDMI video output and even a full-size Ethernet jack, both of which are far from a given on mainstream laptops these days.

The installed DDR4-3200 RAM runs at 2400 MHz ("DDR4-2400"), since the APU does not support higher memory frequencies. Dell Inspiron 15 3505’s IPS panel has a Full HD resolution, comfortable viewing angles, and a decent contrast ratio.Travel distance is short, resulting in a slightly stiff typing experience, but the key switches feel plenty sturdy. inches on the diagonal, offers noticeably washed-out colors and slightly fuzzy text because of its 1,366-by-768-pixel resolution.

As it stands, I find viewing angles and maximum brightness to be perfectly adequate in a brightly lit room even on the 1,366-by-768-pixel display, although I did not use the laptop in direct sunlight.

Actually, the Ryzen 5 3450U was only launched last year, but it still bears the fundamentals of the Ryzen 5 3500U. It’s also worth noting that there is a metal bracket over the CPU, that helps evenly distribute the mounting pressure, and drive some residual heat away. It is a bit of a mixed bag, because it has an SD card reader, a total of three USB ports, an Ethernet jack, and an HDMI connector.

In my reviews for Notebookcheck I try to communicate as objectively as possible how well a device copes with these hurdles. Interestingly, the power button doubles as a fingerprint reader, which is a pleasant surprise on a laptop of this budget. The cooling solution seems to perform reasonably well, as the processor here doesn’t drop beneath its Base clock, at any point during extreme workload.
