Gaming and Graphics

Thanks to Nvidia\’s new GeForce GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti GPUs, gamers can get some of the benefits of the company\’s new Pascal 10-series chips without cleaning out your bank account. The Inspiron 15 is outfitted with the 1050 Ti GPU, which has 4GB of VRAM.

Performance

The Inspiron 15 is equipped with one of Intel\’s new 7th-gen Kaby Lake processors, which offer a solid bump in performance and power efficiency compared to the previous Skylake generation. The system\’s 2.5-GHz Intel Core i5-7300HQ processor with 8GB of RAM is a capable multitasking machine, allowing me to stream an episode of  \”Chewing Gum\” on Netflix with 10 open Google Chrome tabs while running a system scan in Windows Defender without a whisper of lag.

Battery Life 

Wow. Just wow. With its base model display, the Inspiron 15 lasted a whopping 11 hours and 23 minutes on our battery test (continuous web surfing over Wi-Fi) making it the gaming laptop with the longest battery life we\’ve ever tested. The IPS version of the laptop clocked in at a significantly shorter time of 8:34, but both systems absolutely destroyed the 6:50 mainstream average, not to mention the Strix and the Stealth Pro and their anemic times of 3:41 and 2:54.

Webcam
The 720p integrated webcam won\’t capture the sharpest video or images, but it\’ll do in a pinch. The test shots I took in my bedroom were darker than I would have expected. My midnight blue wall looked black towards the edges of the shot. But despite the overall graininess in the shot, you can still see the wrinkles in my white shirt
