Dell has equipped its Inspiron 15 gaming series with a more powerful Nvidia Pascal graphics card and the latest Kaby Lake CPUs. This combination should also provide a satisfying gaming bundle for a medium budget. In this review, we will scrutinize one of the more powerful variants. It features an Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor, an Nvidia GeForce 1050 Ti, a 256 GB SSD, and a 1 TB HDD. Dell's US store lists it for $1100 (without VAT). This series starts from $800 and consists of five different base models. Only three models are offered in Germany for prices between 1000 Euros (~$1062) and 1480 Euros (~$1572). Show Since Dell currently offers the predecessor of our test model up to 150 Euros (~$159) cheaper, we will include our test model of it in our comparison. In addition, we will compare it to notebooks with similar components including the Acer Aspire VX5 with equivalent hardware and the similarly equipped 17-inch MSI GE72. Depending on the variant, the Dell Inspiron either comes with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 or an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. Real gamers might be interested how much better devices with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 perform. Therefore, we have added the Asus Strix GL502VM to our comparisons. Update 08-03-2017: We had the chance to review the Inspiron 15 7000 with matte Full HD IPS panel and added the results to the display section.

The matte black case of the new gaming notebook looks simple and inconspicuous at a first glance. First, the big red fan grilles with a dark silver grid hint at the power sleeping inside the 15-inch device. Among others the red lattice at the front edge is new. The red decorated Dell logo on the lid has been kept. When the notebook is opened, it becomes apparent that Dell has omitted the red border surrounding the touchpad and the red grid bar above the keyboard. Those who like Dell's design, but do not want to spend that much money and therefore buy the Inspiron predecessor do not have to bother: Dell uses the same case for it. Thanks to many rounded parts and several rubberized surface textures, the laptop feels nice to the touch. In terms of build quality we could also only detect trifles: For example, the front parts of the base unit's left and right edges are slightly too sharp. As is known from most matte products, the surface is a fingerprint magnet. In addition, the lid can be depressed slightly too easily. There is a maintenance hatch on the underside of the new Inspiron, which can be removed after loosening a single screw. It is not possible to replace the battery or get a glimpse of the inside without tools. The weight of 2.6 kg measured by us is on par with the competitors'. The remarkable height of up to 26 mm is also normal for a gaming notebook. You should clarify whether a bag has enough stowage space before buying it.

In particular, it lacks diversity: Neither a USB Type-C port with Thunderbolt support nor many USB-3.0 ports are available. The interface layout is largely sophisticated. The Ethernet port and the HDMI-out are relatively far towards the back so that connected cables are not in the way. The transfer rates recorded with our Exceria Pro SDXC 64 GB UHS-II reference memory card from Toshiba are very slow. When copying JPG files (about 5 MB each) the average transfer rate is only about 22 MB/s. We have already found such poor values in the Acer Aspire VX5 and MSI GE72. If moving files to SD cards is important for you, you should consider a competitor such as the Asus Strix GL502. The Strix GL502VM achieved above 80 MB/s in our JPG test. Dell has equipped the laptop with two communication solutions to allow users to dive into the world of online gaming: First of all an Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 3165 1x1 is used, which is supposed to achieve transfer rates of up to 433 MBit/s (gross). We have recorded a receiving rate of 246 MBit/s and a sending rate of 306 MBit/s. On the other hand, a Gigabit Ethernet adapter allows for stable connections via cable. Dell's web-page for the Inspiron 7567 specifies Bluetooth version 4.0. However, the included data sheet lists Bluetooth 4.2. A 720p webcam can be used for video conferences. It produces acceptable pictures in good lighting conditions. However, you have to accept a slight noise and not absolutely precise colors. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not include any accessories. Only several leaflets are in the box of our US notebook. The easy maintenance is especially praiseworthy: In order to gain access to the inside, you only have to loosen a single screw. Afterwards, you can carefully detach the plastic panel. Take care not to break the click locks. Once done, you can reach the memory devices, the Wi-Fi-module, the CMOS battery, and the battery. In addition, it is easy to clean the fan. It is more or less common that Dell only includes a one-year warranty for new notebooks. The warranty includes pick-up, repair and hardware service. When ordering the device, the manufacturer offers a premium warranty in the online configuration. Among others, it includes 24 h service and software support. The minimum term of this extra service is one year (79 Euros, ~$83) and the maximum is four years (269 Euros, ~$285). Please see our Guarantees, Return Policies and Warranties FAQ for country-specific information. KeyboardThe used chiclet keyboard features a consistent and crisp pressure experience. However, the short travel could be slightly longer. In particular, inputs from the space bar feel spongy. Nevertheless, touch typists will get used to the keyboard after a while. It is pleasing to find that the Inspiron 7567 features a complete number pad. Another appreciated feature is the two-level backlight. However, we dislike the small arrow keys, which are too small for e.g. race games. Pros include the relatively quiet and muffled typing noise without disturbing clattering noise. In addition, the keyboard unit is splash-protected according to the manufacturer. TouchpadThe 10.6 x 8 cm touchpad consists of a roughened plastic surface, which does not look especially high-end but is convincing in use: Inputs are translated flawlessly and quickly. Most inputs are also recognized reliably in the corners. The mouse buttons beneath the touchpad generate a very quiet, yet high-pitched clicking noise. The travel gets softer and longer towards the edges. Our test model of the Dell Inspiron 7000 series uses a Full HD TN panel. Unfortunately, the shop page does not specify which display types are used by the offered variants. The included data sheet from Dell lists three different display types for this series: First of all, the Full HD TN panel used in our test model, secondly, a Full HD IPS panel and finally a glossy UHD IPS display. The UHD display is used in the most expensive variant (1479 Euros, ~$1571). It remains to be seen whether the Full HD IPS panel is actually used in any variant. Dell has not yet answered our request concerning this matter so far. Let us turn to our test model's TN panel with a resolution of 1920x1020 pixels: It has an average brightness of 235 cd/m². This is especially striking as our test model of the Inspiron 15 predecessor performed 16% better. In this aspect, the expensive Asus Strix GL502VM takes the lead with about 300 cd/m². It is advantageous that screen bleeding/clouding is not noticeable. Update: We have got an answer from Dell regarding the display types: In the EMEA region, the Full HD variant will only be available with TN-type panel. Only the UHD option uses the IPS panel. 213 cd/m²229 cd/m²208 cd/m²226 cd/m²246 cd/m²214 cd/m²266 cd/m²277 cd/m²233 cd/m² Distribution of brightness AU Optronics AUO38ED B156HTN 28H80 tested with X-Rite i1Pro 2 Maximum: 277 cd/m² (Nits) Average: 234.7 cd/m² Minimum: 18.8 cd/m² Brightness Distribution: 75 % Center on Battery: 286 cd/m² Contrast: 447:1 (Black: 0.55 cd/m²) ΔE Color 10.97 | 0.5-29.43 Ø5.1 ΔE Greyscale 14.25 | 0.57-98 Ø5.3 55% sRGB (Argyll 1.6.3 3D) 35% AdobeRGB 1998 (Argyll 1.6.3 3D) 37.62% AdobeRGB 1998 (Argyll 2.2.0 3D) 54.9% sRGB (Argyll 2.2.0 3D) 36.42% Display P3 (Argyll 2.2.0 3D) Gamma: 1.83 Dell Inspiron 15 7000 7567 AU Optronics AUO38ED B156HTN 28H80, , 1920x1080, 15.60MSI GE72 7RE-046 N173HHE-G32 (CMN1747), , 1920x1080, 17.30Dell Inspiron 15 7559 LG Philips LGD04D9 / 156UD2 / Dell P/N: 53FC4, , 3840x2160, 15.60Asus Strix GL502VM-DS74 1920x1080, 15.60Display 119% 70% 66% Display P3 Coverage 36.42 90.7 149% 63.4 74% 64.8 78% sRGB Coverage 54.9 99.9 82% 90 64% 84.9 55% AdobeRGB 1998 Coverage 37.62 85.2 126% 64.6 72% 62 65% Response Times 50% 20% -4% Response Time Grey 50% / Grey 80% * 36 (17, 19) 27 (13, 14) 25% 32 (13, 19) 11% 42 (19.2, 22.8) -17% Response Time Black / White * 36 (19, 17) 9 (6, 3) 75% 26 (9, 17) 28% 32.8 (6, 26.8) 9% PWM FrequencyScreen 57% 26% 52% Brightness middle 246 253 3% 276 12% 307.8 25% Brightness 235 230 -2% 273 16% 301 28% Brightness Distribution 75 86 15% 85 13% 88 17% Black Level * 0.55 0.24 56% 0.78 -42% 0.33 40% Contrast 447 1054 136% 354 -21% 933 109% Colorchecker dE 2000 * 10.97 5.01 54% 4.05 63% 4.5 59% Greyscale dE 2000 * 14.25 7.26 49% 4.68 67% 2.9 80% Gamma 1.83 120% 2.09 105% 2.55 86% 2.22 99% CCT 11200 58% 6329 103% 6871 95% 1136 572% Color Space (Percent of AdobeRGB 1998) 35 76 117% 58 66% 55.4 58% Color Space (Percent of sRGB) 55 100 82% 90 64% 84.8 54% Colorchecker dE 2000 max. * 10.4 10 Total Average (Program / Settings) 75% /69% 39% /35% 38% /47% * ... smaller is better Already the first contact with our Inspiron display is quite disappointing. We expect a contrast-rich display with great colors; especially in the gaming range. The test model cannot fulfill this wish. The black value of 0.55 cd/m² is too high. The CalMAN analysis showed high color and grayscale shifts. It is especially annoying that the display is very bluish due to the high deviations. The IPS panels in the Dell Inspiron 15 7559 and the Asus Strix GL502VM perform significantly better in this aspect. The software TrueColor is supposed to slightly improve the colors in the new Inspiron. Unfortunately, the display remains bluish. In addition, the color coverages, which are important for professional use, are not sufficient. The display covers 55% of sRGB and 35% of AdobeRGB. Finally, we want to cover the outdoor capabilities: Thanks to a matte panel, the brightness of 230 cd/m2 is sufficient for using the laptop in the shade. Display Response Timesℹ Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times. ↔ Response Time Black to White36 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 19 ms rise ↘ 17 ms fallThe screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 93 % of all devices are better.

In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 43 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (34.3 ms). Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)ℹ To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether. Screen flickering / PWM not detected In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18561 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. Since the display is a TN-type, colors and brightness change when moving the lid or viewing the display from the side. The test model's panel has very narrow viewing angles. We had the chance to test the Inspiron 15 7000 with Full HD IPS display. It stems from LG Philips and is called LGD053F (156WF6). Subjectively, the image quality appears to be alright. Backlight bleeding is notable along the edges however. This is in particular slightly disturbing when dark content is displayed. Similar to MSI, Dell installs the TrueColor software and activates the "Vibrant" mode by default. We performed the display measurements in three different modes (TrueColor Vibrant, TrueColor Natural, and TrueColor deactivated). We definitely recommend deactivating or uninstalling the software. Both TrueColor modes show a significant yellow tint and are much too warm. In addition, brightness falls significantly (40-50 cd/m²) and colors get worse. We added the screenshots of our measurements below. With deactivated software, we recorded a maximum brightness of 272 cd/m² (average: 251 cd/m²). Therewith, the IPS panel performs only slightly better than the TN model. Lower black value and, so, higher contrast of almost 1200:1 are advantages. As a result, images appear much more vivid on the IPS panel. We could not detect PWM. 240 cd/m²232 cd/m²256 cd/m²243 cd/m²272 cd/m²264 cd/m²242 cd/m²257 cd/m²254 cd/m² Distribution of brightness LG Philips LGD053F (156WF6) tested with X-Rite i1Pro 2 Maximum: 272 cd/m² (Nits) Average: 251.1 cd/m² Minimum: 16.9 cd/m² Brightness Distribution: 85 % Center on Battery: 269 cd/m² Contrast: 1183:1 (Black: 0.23 cd/m²) ΔE Color 6.7 | 0.5-29.43 Ø5.1 ΔE Greyscale 6.8 | 0.57-98 Ø5.3 61.4% sRGB (Argyll 1.6.3 3D) 39.5% AdobeRGB 1998 (Argyll 1.6.3 3D) Gamma: 2.18 In factory state, the measurements show that the color temperature is better than the TN panel's. Nevertheless, this is not a high-end IPS display. Grayscales are slightly greenish, which is hardly notable in everyday use however. The screenshots of the two TrueColor modes show heavy deviations and much too warm colors however, which conforms to our subjective impressions. In particular grayscales profit from our calibration (icc-profile is linked in the box above). Moreover, the slight color tint disappeared. The high color deviations persist however. The color coverage also shows that it is a cheap IPS panel. This does not pose a big problem when playing games. However, you won't be happy with the Inspiron 15 7000 if you occasionally edit photos and videos. Certainly, wider viewing angles are another big advantage of the IPS panel in comparison to the IPS panel. We have also seen better models in this respect, but it still performs significantly better than the TN model. You can move in front of the display much more freely without facing significant contrast loss or color inversions. The IPS panel also performs slightly better in respect of response times.

Already the name of the new Dell series suggests for which field of application it has been designed: Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming. In order to be fit for the gaming world, a cutting-edge Intel Core i7 processor and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti work inside. Unfortunately, the RAM with a capacity of 16 GB only works in single-channel mode. However, it is possible to change this by adding a module to the free RAM slot. Dell has incorporated two storage devices so that there is enough space for installing many games: First of all, there is a 1 TB HDD. There is also a responsive 256 GB SSD. Currently, Dell's US shop lists this model for $1100. The models available in Germany are listed in the introduction of this article. The core of our Inspiron test model is an Intel Core i7-7700HQ. The CPU features a base clock of 2.8 GHz and achieves a maximum Turbo clock of up to 3.8 GHz. Intel specifies a TDP of 45 W. We analyze the performance with Cinebench R15. In the multi-core test, the processor works at 3.4 GHz and achieves 724 points. The Acer Aspire VX5 performs significantly worse with 677 points. Once again, the Asus Strix GL502VM takes the lead with 743 points. The CPU even clocks at 3.4 GHz after several runs. The Cinebench R15 result even remains at the same level on battery. Those who buy the i5 variant of the new Dell Inspiron 7000 series can expect a 30% lower performance.

Dell uses an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti in our test model. It belongs to the Nvidia Pascal architecture and has been available since early 2017. With a core clock of 1393 - 1620 MHz and 4 GB of GDDR5 VRAM, it is ready for the latest games. The performance is about on par with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 970M. According to Nvidia the targeted maximum power consumption is 70 W (Nvidia GeForce GTX 970: about 81 W). The cheapest model of the new Inspiron series does not use the Ti variant. This results in a significant performance difference. We want to compare these two graphics units in order to show how big the difference actually is. For this purpose we use 3DMark 11. With almost 9700 points (GPU score), our test model exceeds the average result of an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 by as much as 1900 points. Currently, the cheapest variant of the new Inspiron costs about 150 Euros (~$159) less than the Ti variant. Hence, those who can afford it can profit from 25% higher GPU performance and a more powerful CPU. A comparison to the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 can also be interesting: Therefore, we have added the Asus Strix GL502VM to this comparison. The more powerful GTX 1060 performs almost 60% better. Those who occasionally use the gaming notebook on battery have to accept a small performance loss. 3DMark reports 7638 points in this scenario. Further benchmarks to various graphics cards are available in our article about current notebook graphics cards. 3DMark 11 - 1280x720 Performance GPUAsus Strix GL502VM-DS74 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile, Intel Core i7-7700HQ 14347 Points +48% MSI GE72 7RE-046 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile, Intel Core i7-7700HQ 10186 Points +5% Asus Strix GL502VT-DS74 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M, Intel Core i7-6700HQ 9824 Points +1% Dell Inspiron 15 7000 7567 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile, Intel Core i7-7700HQ 9725 Points Acer Aspire VX5-591G-D0DD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile, Intel Core i7-7700HQ 9713 Points 0% MSI GL62M 7RD-077 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile, Intel Core i7-7700HQ 8223 Points -15% Dell XPS 15 2017 9560 (7300HQ, Full-HD) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile, Intel Core i5-7300HQ 8201 Points -16% Asus Strix GL753VD-GC045T NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile, Intel Core i7-7700HQ 7360 Points -24% Dell Inspiron 15 7559 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M, Intel Core i7-6700HQ 5337 Points -45% 3DMark1280x720 Cloud Gate Standard GraphicsAsus Strix GL502VM-DS74 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile, Intel Core i7-7700HQ 70574 Points +42% Asus Strix GL502VT-DS74 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M, Intel Core i7-6700HQ 50205 Points +1% Dell Inspiron 15 7000 7567 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile, Intel Core i7-7700HQ 49539 Points MSI GE72 7RE-046 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile, Intel Core i7-7700HQ 49223 Points -1% Acer Aspire VX5-591G-D0DD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile, Intel Core i7-7700HQ 48626 Points -2% Dell XPS 15 2017 9560 (7300HQ, Full-HD) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile, Intel Core i5-7300HQ 39864 Points -20% MSI GL62M 7RD-077 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile, Intel Core i7-7700HQ 39824 Points -20% Asus Strix GL753VD-GC045T NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile, Intel Core i7-7700HQ 35884 Points -28% Dell Inspiron 15 7559 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M, Intel Core i7-6700HQ 28666 Points -42% 1920x1080 Fire Strike GraphicsAsus Strix GL502VM-DS74 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile, Intel Core i7-7700HQ 11186 Points +46% MSI GE72 7RE-046 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile, Intel Core i7-7700HQ 8086 Points +6% Acer Aspire VX5-591G-D0DD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile, Intel Core i7-7700HQ 7741 Points +1% Dell Inspiron 15 7000 7567 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile, Intel Core i7-7700HQ 7646 Points Asus Strix GL502VT-DS74 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M, Intel Core i7-6700HQ 7321 Points -4% Dell XPS 15 2017 9560 (7300HQ, Full-HD) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile, Intel Core i5-7300HQ 6393 Points -16% MSI GL62M 7RD-077 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile, Intel Core i7-7700HQ 6382 Points -17% Asus Strix GL753VD-GC045T NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile, Intel Core i7-7700HQ 5784 Points -24% Asus Strix GL753VD-GC045T NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile, Intel Core i7-7700HQ 5421 Points -29% Dell Inspiron 15 7559 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M, Intel Core i7-6700HQ 4339 Points -43% 3DMark 11 Performance 8992 points3DMark Cloud Gate Standard Score 21998 points3DMark Fire Strike Score 6709 points Help The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti allows smoothly running all current games with high or very high settings. Those who want to maximize the settings or expect at least 60 fps need a more powerful graphics card such as the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060. Due to the performance difference between the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 in the cheapest Inspiron model and the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, the latter can accomplish a few decisive frames per second more; especially at high settings. Those who do not need more than 30 fps for smooth gaming will be content with the GTX 1050.

and during normal web-surfing most of the time. A rustling noise from the HDD is audible time and again. The fans only run infrequently and the generated noise remains pleasant. Under load the fans speed up quickly and produce a noise close to 47 dB(A). Headphones or speakers set to a loud volume are required in order to drown out the fan noise. The generated frequency is alright overall. However, we would wish for a less high-frequency noise in the future.

In idle mode, a temperature increase is hardly noticeable at all. In addition, the temperature remains acceptable under load. The hot spot above the keyboard reaches 43.4 °C. We measured a temperature of 40 °C in the central part of the keyboard. This is noticeable when typing, but it is not disturbing. We could not detect a disturbing temperature increase during normal gaming and web-surfing. The predecessor performed worse with 54 °C in the central part of the keyboard. Its temperature gradient was quite steep overall. The temperature management also does not appear sophisticated in the more powerful Asus ROG Strix FL502VM. We measured up to just under 65 °C on the top side and the underside. Finally, we want to check the core temperatures of the CPU. In our stress test, Prime95 and FurMark simulate maximum stress and we observe clock rates and core temperatures. After a while, the core temperature seriously increases. Since several cores exceed the 90 °C level by far, the test model has to throttle for a short time. However, this happens that infrequently that the CPU works at 3.4 GHz on average. According to 3DMark 11, the Inspiron 7567 has its full performance available after the stress test has been stopped. 28.1 °C 83 F43.4 °C 110 F31.4 °C 89 F 29 °C 84 F40.2 °C 104 F35 °C 95 F 23.7 °C 75 F23.6 °C 74 F26.6 °C 80 F Maximum: 43.4 °C = 110 F Average: 31.2 °C = 88 F 37.7 °C 100 F36.5 °C 98 F32.1 °C 90 F26.4 °C 80 F35.4 °C 96 F27 °C 81 F24.9 °C 77 F24.7 °C 76 F23.6 °C 74 F Maximum: 37.7 °C = 100 F Average: 29.8 °C = 86 F Power Supply (max.) 36 °C = 97 F | Room Temperature 21.4 °C = 71 F | FIRT 550-Pocket (+) The average temperature for the upper side under maximal load is 31.2 °C / 88 F, compared to the average of 33.9 °C / 93 F for the devices in the class Gaming.

With the WaveMaxxAudio software, we can get a high volume and some bass from the speakers. The stereo speakers can convince in occasional YouTube and video sessions. dB(A) 0102030405060708090Deep BassMiddle BassHigh BassLower RangeMidsHigher MidsLower HighsMid HighsUpper HighsSuper Highs2032.234.332.2253333.4333136.132.536.14030.630.430.65029.627.729.66327.129.127.18032.227.232.210045.325.845.31255732.65716057.423.557.420052.622.352.625055.621.655.631561.521.361.540067.219.867.25006519.76563065.418.565.480065.318.265.3100067.517.867.5125067.517.167.5160069.117.369.1200073.417.273.4250073.617.673.6315071.817.771.8400073.417.773.4500072.318.172.3630071.718.271.7800066.218.166.21000068.818.268.81250069.618.169.61600068.61868.6SPL82.930.382.9N561.456median 67.5median 18.2median 67.5Delta5.71.45.735.335.132.931.831.83236.535.132.428.93328.936.328.848.32761.52752.924.860.92462.822.763.32269.521.267.82174.82075.919.472.718.97117.770.117.86917.671.817.668.117.671.417.673.717.670.417.571.617.671.617.669.617.459.717.583.630.662.51.5median 69.6median 17.84.72.4hearing rangehide median Pink NoiseDell Inspiron 15 7000 7567Apple MacBook 12 (Early 2016) 1.1 GHz Dell Inspiron 15 7000 7567 audio analysis(±) | speaker loudness is average but good (74 dB) Bass 100 - 315 Hz (±) | reduced bass - on average 12.6% lower than median (±) | linearity of bass is average (13.2% delta to prev. frequency) Mids 400 - 2000 Hz (+) | balanced mids - only 1.8% away from median (+) | mids are linear (4.3% delta to prev. frequency) Highs 2 - 16 kHz (+) | balanced highs - only 4% away from median (+) | highs are linear (3.9% delta to prev. frequency) Overall 100 - 16.000 Hz (+) | overall sound is linear (12% difference to median) Compared to same class » 10% of all tested devices in this class were better, 4% similar, 86% worse » The best had a delta of 7%, average was 18%, worst was 132% Compared to all devices tested » 6% of all tested devices were better, 2% similar, 92% worse » The best had a delta of 4%, average was 25%, worst was 134% Apple MacBook 12 (Early 2016) 1.1 GHz audio analysis(+) | speakers can play relatively loud (83.6 dB) Bass 100 - 315 Hz (±) | reduced bass - on average 11.3% lower than median (±) | linearity of bass is average (14.2% delta to prev. frequency) Mids 400 - 2000 Hz (+) | balanced mids - only 2.4% away from median (+) | mids are linear (5.5% delta to prev. frequency) Highs 2 - 16 kHz (+) | balanced highs - only 2% away from median (+) | highs are linear (4.5% delta to prev. frequency) Overall 100 - 16.000 Hz (+) | overall sound is linear (10.2% difference to median) Compared to same class » 4% of all tested devices in this class were better, 2% similar, 94% worse » The best had a delta of 5%, average was 19%, worst was 53% Compared to all devices tested » 3% of all tested devices were better, 1% similar, 96% worse » The best had a delta of 4%, average was 25%, worst was 134% Frequency diagram in comparison (checkboxes above can be turned on/off!) The very low energy demand in idle mode deserves praise. The new Inspiron Gaming notebook always remains below 9 W in this scenario, while the Asus Strix GL502VM with Nvidia GTX 1060 requires about 40 W here. The predecessor of the Inspiron also performs significantly worse with values between 9.4 - 15 W. Under load, all components have to work hard and the energy demand increases heavily. Our test model reaches 82 W on average and a maximum of 127 W. This result is also not bad. In comparison with the Asus Strix GL502VM it becomes apparent that the more powerful Nvidia GTX 1060 needs more energy. The gaming competitor requires up to 156 W. The power adapter of the Dell only provides 130 W. This might limit the actual performance due to production variance in the performance of the power adapter. In particular, the Inspiron variant with UHD display might have a higher energy demand. In stand-by mode, the laptop has a low power consumption of 0.5 W. Turned off, but connected to the mains, the energy demand is about 0.3 W.

We determine the runtimes in three different scenarios. The first test identifies the maximum runtime. We select the energy-saving profile, set the brightness to its minimum and start a reading script. The Inspiron achieves an impressive 19.5 hours here. The Wi-Fi runtime is probably the most important scenario. It simulates web-surfing at a brightness of 150 cd/m². Once again, the new Dell Inspiron 7567 proves to be a runtime wonder. No other notebook in our comparison can last over 10 hours. Finally, we test the minimum battery runtime. We start the Classic Test of the Battery Eater tool with the Windows energy profile "maximum performance" and maximum brightness. In this test, the test model achieves almost 1.5 hours. In comparison to the competitors, this is a very typical result.

Cons- poor contrast - very bluish display - small arrow keys - performance of the SD-card reader - few interfaces - no USB Type-C A gaming notebook for everyday life. Dell's new Inspiron 15 of the 7000 series proved that it has a right to exist in the gaming-notebook world. First of all, it has a well-made case, which allows end-user maintenance. However, there are only a few interfaces for a 15-inch notebook. In addition, the performance of the SD-card reader is poor. In return, the manufacturer has incorporated acceptable input devices. The keyboard even features a backlight and a number block and is splash-proof. However, we did not like the small arrow keys, which are especially inconvenient in racing games. The only real disappointment of the Inspiron 15 is the Full HD TN panel, which not only has very narrow viewing angles but is also very bluish. Dell should at least offer customers an IPS display option. In the further course of the test, Dell's newest gaming notebook can show its strength: The Intel Core i7 processor and the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti are combined with a fast SSD and 16 GB DDR4 RAM. As a result, system and gaming performances are excellent. However, the Inspiron 15 also performs very well in other fields of application than gaming. During normal use, the fan is hardly audible and the temperature remains in an acceptable range in every scenario. Although, the gaming laptop might seldom be used as mobile companion because of its height and weight, its battery life makes it suitable for mobile use. Our test model shows higher stamina than several mobile subnotebooks. Dell offers a superior gaming notebook for a price from 1000 Euros (~$1062), which does not even have to fear more expensive competitors. Those who are put off by the display should consider the more expensive UHD variant. It remains to be seen whether the German models of the Inspiron 15 will use IPS panels. Nevertheless, the competitors should not be neglected. Those who wish for even higher gaming performance and an IPS panel should take a look at the Asus ROG Strix GL502VM. Update 08-03-2017: The IPS panel outperforms the TN display in all respects and appears to be significantly better.
