![]() Some pro users demand powerful graphics if they're running creative or scientific software that can reap the rewards of GPU acceleration. It's budget Hynix SATA flash storage that's complemented by a more sedate one-terabyte D: disk. More important to system responsiveness, the C: drive is a 128GB SSD. The main processor is the latest quad-core Intel Core i7-6700HQ running at 2.6GHz, albeit with last-gen DDR3L memory from two 8GB sticks. All that mass doesn’t prevent perennial lid wobble should you actually touch the screen, and an absence of an anti-reflective coating turns the screen into a 15.6in mirror outside darkened rooms. Lifting it open is a physical effort, courtesy of stiff hinges and a chunky lid holding a 4K UHD display with thick glass touch-panel frontispiece. Underscoring its business credentials, it’s a sturdy lump of a laptop, weighing nearly 2.8kg, betraying almost no flex on its stiff noir chassis. A middle-ground version has the 4K screen, but no SSD and only 8GB of RAM for £849. You don't get an SSD in addition to the 1TB hard drive, either, and only half of the 16GB of RAM. For that you get only a 1080p screen rather than the 4K panel on the £999 model reviewed here. The range is called the Inspiron 15 7000, and the base model costs £749. You can buy the Inspifrom Dell's website. It costs £1049 from Amazon, but the old model is still on sale at Amazon and is over £100 cheaper. Note: This model has now been upgraded to a version with Nvidia's new GTX 1050Ti. It has the no-nonsense square build of a business machine, sober black and conformist, yet Dell positions the new Inspiron for work or home. The line that divides business and consumer laptops can be blurred today, and never more so than the Dell InspiSeries. ![]()
