Today we are going to look into the new Dell Inspiron 15r 5521 unboxing and short review. This everyday use laptop costs Rs. 44,700/- including all taxes and a back-pack as usual. Seriously, a laptop at this cost should have been better.
Impressive battery life – only after playing around power settings like Dell Intelligent Power schemes, etc.
Lack of proper information about the unit. Documents are mostly of no use other than pointing out the controls, their functions and overall Windows 8 controls and mouse gesture notes.
As a verdict, I would ‘suggest’ to buy this notebook for everyday use (yeah, i know its made for…) :D. I wish this same package could have been packed with a little more processing speed. But, I would like to bring to light that there is another variant with i3 process with bit more processing speed more than this unit and 500Gb storage capacity at less price. Back to this, at just 1.80 Ghz, definitely most of the everyday use applications run smoothly, but have to compromise and wait if you want to run a resource hungry application like Adobe Premiere or Adobe Aftereffects, etc. Well, in this world there is always some mistakes happen and we learn from mistakes. Hope Dell works out on few important things like gigabit ethernet and back-lit keyboard at least.
All right, this was my view on this particular 15r series laptop from Dell. Awaiting your views.
