you guys loved our review of the Dell Inspiron
7559 from last year where I gave it a solid recommendation for its wolf and
sheep's clothing Wicked gaming performance and its understated looks
not to mention price now over the last year Dell has been hard at work tweaking
that formula and they've even gone as far this time as to include gaming in
the product name but have those tweaks
actually added up to anything substantial let's check it
out browse privately and securely with

video description the inspiring gaming has a
red matte finish with mean looking triangles on the front and the back
hexagons are very 2016 as I've been recently informed it mostly avoids an
over-the-top look like some gaming laptops but it is red though if that's
too shouty for you there's a black version available as well it's clear
that thinness wasn't a top priority for Dell here with lesser specs than the
latest MacBook Pro it's nearly double the thickness but assuming they used the
extra space for cooling I can't be too critical
especially if the intent is for users to game on it for long periods at a time
the build quality is great for a budget segment laptop the chassis feels solid
and the screen Flex is about what you'd expect opening the lid is easy and the
hinge moves smoothly if you took this thing 10 years back in time and told
someone it costs less than $1,000 they wouldn't believe you we've come a long
way the io is more traditional than most
laptops these days as well it's unlikely
that you'll have to reach for a dongle
though I will say at least having the option for a typc or Thunderbolt port on
a premium config would have been welcome
our model is not the cheapest but it hits a really nice sweet spot with just
enough of pretty much everything for gaming and without spending extra money
on an i7 for example that doesn't make
games run faster I mean that money could go towards buying books or beer and
gaming performance is really solid the included 60 HZ TN panel looks pretty
good for a TN with above average viewing angles from side to side again for a TN
and on high settings at 1080p which happens to be its native resolution this
laptop plowed through our test lineup comfortably meaning that in between
homework and Facebook you should be able to run modern AAA titles without issue
thanks in no small part to the strong performance of the inspiring Gaming's
cooling system during our ID to 64 stress test it was not only able to keep
the CPU at a relatively comfortable 80°
but the I5 was able to use its turbo boost the whole time too meaning
performance won't dip after a couple of minutes of gaming it was far from silent
but wasn't disruptive and it's much quieter than a thin and light gaming
machine like a razor blade and if that
sound good to you you'll be happy to know the speakers are better than you
might expect as well the internal subwoofer doesn't add as much depth to
the sound as the subs in their XPS laptops several years ago did but
overall Clarity is good until some Distortion Creeps in at nearly full
volume as long as you're right in front they're highly directional so if a
diminished off AIS movie watching experience is a real turnoff for your
friend you might not be doing any chilling while you
Netflix though even if you have to be by yourself at least you'll be doing it for
a long time battery life came in at a
very impressive 6 hours and 48 minutes
one of the best results we've ever seen in our PC Mark workbench Mark and more
good news just like its predecessor it's
easy to get inside all it takes is one
screw okay I'll stop that now and as an
SSD only model ours has a completely
free hard drive bay with mounting hardware and a cable included as well as
an empty RAM slot Dell really couldn't make this any easier moving back to the
outside the keyboard feels very similar to previous Inspiron models but nicer
the keystrokes are short with a pleasant click and avoid being mushy spacing is a
strong point and there's a full numpad with appropriately laid out arrow keys
the red back back lighting isn't bright enough to be having an inspiring
inspired dance party with it or anything
but it's functional and if you're actually in the dark you'll be able to
read the keys can't complain the trackpad is also quite good the feel of
the click isn't super consistent from the top to the bottom but it performs
accurately at high sensitivity settings and it does a great job of figuring out
when I have my thumb at the bottom for clicking as opposed to when I'm trying
to use multitouch now let's talk about what you
are not getting with a value model like this the first unfortunate compromise is
the 1ex one Wi-Fi giving me a maximum speed of around 20 megabytes per second
in my data transfer test so if you want fast downloads you will have to wire in
the storage is also rather slow it is an
m.2 drive and it is an SSD but it runs
at SATA speeds not PCI eeds and finally
the screen is far from the most vibrant and high contrast that I've seen now
that IPS is the standard even a decent TN looks washed out by
comparison so who is this laptop for then well unsurprisingly the Dell
inspiring gaming is a great value laptop
for people who want to game and need the portability of a laptop for 850 bucks
you could build a better performing desktop that is more upgradable but you
can't exactly take that to class or wherever it is that you might need it so
if you're looking for something to buy that's inexpensive and works well before
heading off to University or college the inspiring gaming packs everything that
you're likely to need into a pretty nice little
container or box fresh books these guys are awesome
but it's not about how they're awesome it's about how you're awesome if you're
running a business whether it's you know a dance studio out of your garage or
Plumbing or smalltime computer repair you probably would like to be spending
your time being awesome teaching people to dance fixing computers and not
spending your time tooling around with complicated accounting software
