Blueprint and keyboard: Plastic meets metal

The new Inspiron 13 5000 fabricated me forget about the plastic monstrosities we've come to associate with the Inspiron series. Dell smartly used a combination of plastic and metallic elements to elevate the design of the Inspiron 13 5000. Finally, this mid-range laptop feels like a premium automobile, if still a marked stride down from the XPS 13.

The "Iced Lilac" color variant, which has a subtle imperial tone, in particular, looks great. And elementary additions like diamond-cutting edges around the touchpad and a fingerprint integrated into the power button go a long manner.

The Inspiron too has what Dell is calling a drop-hinge. Like to Asus' Ergolyft hinge, this machinery lifts the back of the laptop off a table to amend air circulation and offer a more comfortable typing experience.

Speaking of which, the backlit keyboard had a nice clickiness and the keys were large and easy to blazon on despite the laptop'south compact chassis.

Dell had to make a few design changes to the broadband version to accommodate LTE antennas. Those adjustments ultimately make the pricier model feel less premium than the base edition. 1 major difference is that the non-LTE version has thin bezels around all four sides of the display whereas the LTE model has a slightly chunkier (only nonetheless narrow) top bezel.

In that location are also some slight differences in the material Dell used for the two versions. The LTE model trades the standard Inspiron 13 5000's metal lid for plastic to avoid wireless interference.

As a consequence, the LTE version is also slightly heavier and larger, at 0.66 inches and two.74 pounds, while the standard version is 0.59 inches thick and weighs 2.6 pounds.

Brandish: Two dissimilar flavors

Some other divergence between the two Inspiron 13 5000s is that the LTE model comes standard with a impact screen while the Wi-Fi edition is non-bear upon just.

And while both versions accept 13.3-inch, 1080p panels, the WWAN model'southward is anti-glare (matte), while the other is glossy. I only got to briefly gaze at the glossy panel on the standard Inspiron 13 5000, but was generally pleased with its display quality. Colors popped and the screen seemed relatively brilliant.

Functioning: Fast CPUs, discrete GPU

Armed with 8th Gen Intel Core i5 CPUs, up to 8GB of RAM and up to 512GB of PCIe SSD storage, the Inspiron thirteen 5000 (WWAN version) should provide plenty performance for everyday productivity.

We typically recommend this configuration to a college student because it offers a practiced mix of performance and value. If you need a flake more power, the standard Inspiron 13 5000 tin be configured with upwardly to an Intel Core i7 CPU.

Casual gamers can configure either model with a GeForce MX250 GPU.

Outlook

With a sleek pattern, premium materials and optional LTE connectivity, the Inspiron xiii 5000 is shaping upwards to be a major improvement over its predecessors. We'll get a better idea of how this notebook performs when nosotros get it in for review, only I'1000 impressed by what I've seen.
