Dell's new laptop is tremendous value for money

2016-08-09
this is the Windows laptop to beat yes it's a Dell but it's also one of the very best notebooks you can buy for 750 dollars Dell didn't skimp on any part of this affordable computer here's a short list of things you won't always find in a laptop this shape a crisp 1080p display with wide viewing angles that folds over backwards into a touchscreen tablet your choice of 13 or 15 inch screens for the exact same price a rigid metal frame that extends all around the edges instead of just a token layer of rough brushed aluminum a responsive backlit keyboard and a touchpad smooth and accurate enough that you won't want to scream a fast solid-state drive with 256 gigabytes of storage a place where manufacturers usually skip six hours of real-world battery life and my personal favorite a special depth-sensing camera that lets me log into Windows with my face you can find any one of these features on other inexpensive laptops maybe even two or three of them all of them come standard on this dell all of them for $750 I've been asking PC of manufacturers for years to make these features standard instead of making you pay more money to get the things you want Dells the first one to actually do it but there is one upsell that might actually be worth your cash this external battery the same kind you might throw into a backpack to charge up your phone and tablet this one can charge laptops too it gave me three to four hours of additional battery life for about a hundred bucks I've got a few quibbles with the dell inspiron 7000 of course the screens a little glossy the hinges are a little bouncy and the keyboard is a tad shallow but no laptop is perfect for 750 US dollars the Inspiron 7000 comes damn close
