Product Information

This laptop is a grade C1 refurbished device meaning that it has visible signs of use and wear, however it is fully functioning and offers impressive performance. You also get a dedicated number pad, and the entire board is even spill-resistant, a welcome addition that I did not put to the test. The next test on our list is Cinebench R23, the multi-core benchmark meant to exercise all of a processor's cores and threads. Almost everything else about the system is mediocre from the shallow colors, spongy keyboard keys, and cheap feel of the chassis.

Results are somewhat comparable to the HP Pavilion 15-eg which also comes with a battery of similar size. is an open-source video transcoder for converting multimedia files to different resolutions and formats. Nonetheless, the poor color reproduction mentioned above means that deltaE will inevitably increase significantly at higher saturation levels.

Most of the chassis continues to be plastic, however, and so the system doesn't feel any more rigid or of higher quality than the older Inspiron 15 3501 despite the full-on redesign. RAM (Random Access Memory) is different to the permanent storage provided by hard disk drives (HDD), solid-state drives (SSD) or memory cards in your equipment. It is fully functional and has been professionally refurbished, inspected, tested and cleaned to good condition by qualified sellers. Like the 15-inch Dell Inspiron 15 3000 (3505) we reviewed earlier this year, the Dell Inspiron 15 3000 (3511) checks many of the boxes we look for in a good budget laptop—including a large 15.

Running this same test on the Core i7 Asus Vivobook 15 K513EQ would result in a higher steady clock rate of 3. Currently we use the Metrahit Energy, a professional single phase power quality and energy measurement digital multimeter, for our measurements.Upgrading to the Core i7-1165G7 is only expected to increase single-thread and multi-thread performance by 5 and 15 percent, respectively. Hot spots are concentrated toward the back of the system where the processor and its cooling solution are positioned. Work in comfort thanks to a lift hinge that raises your device to an ergonomic angle, which provides a more comfortable typing angle. The speed you need: A more responsive yet quieter performance, featuring the Intel Core i5-1035G1 processor options combined with the PCIe SSD.
