Dell Inspiron 7000 i7559 Gaming Laptop Review

With the launch of Dell Inspiron 7000 i7559, Dell has added one more powerful laptop to its gaming and multimedia laptop lineup. The brand new Inspiron i7559 is packed with a powerful processor and a dedicated graphics card, loads of RAM and permanent storage, and a beautiful display. With everything combined, Dell has introduced a laptop with impressive performance at an acceptable price tag.

Look and Feel

Gone are the days when gaming laptops used to be bulky. Manufacturers are now making gaming and multimedia laptops that are sleek and lightweight than before.

Dell Inspiron 7000 i7559 carries a simple yet professional look and feel with a hint of red color here and there. It doesn’t look ‘too flashy’ and will not attract much attention from people around. If you would rather opt for a gaming laptop that ‘looks like one,’ then this Dell laptop is not for you.

As far as its build quality is concerned, Dell has made sure their latest gaming laptop can handle all that ‘abuse’ during long gaming marathons. It feels sturdy and well-built. Its curvy edges give this laptop a smooth feel.

Dell Inspiron 7000 i7559 features a smooth full-size keyboard with backlit. The touchpad mostly works fine, with a few signs of unresponsiveness.

To help you enjoy your gaming sessions for a long time without worrying about heat, this Dell laptop has enough room to eliminate the heat. With an exhaust on the left and two more at the back, Dell Inspiron 7000 i7559 easily maintains its cool for longer.

Along with an exhaust, there is the power connector, USB ports, and the headphone-in jack on the left. On the right, there is a multimedia card reader, HDMI port, a USB port, RJ-45 jack, and a Kensington lock.

Tech Specs and Performance

Hiding under the sleek design of this Dell laptop are powerful components to provide thundering performance. A 6th generation Intel Core i7-6700HQ 2.6 GHz processor with 6MB SmartCache and Turbo Boost up to 3.50 GHz powers this laptop. To accompany a powerful processor, 16GB DDR3 RAM is present.

For smooth performance during gaming and multimedia work, Dell Inspiron 7000 i7559 features 4GB NVIDIA Geforce GTX 960M GDDR5 dedicated graphics. NVIDIA Geforce GTX 960M graphics card is known for its performance and many of the recent gaming laptops feature it.

A huge 1TB HDD and 128GB SSD provides this huge space for storage.

With everything in place, this Dell gaming laptop produces exceptional performance during gaming, multimedia, and other power-hungry projects. All of this comes alive on its gorgeous 15.6-inch Ultra HD 4K LED display with the resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. The display outputs very crisp graphics during not only gaming but also during media streaming from platforms that support UHD resolution.

Needless to say that the pre-installed Windows 10 Home operating system works flawlessly on this powerful laptop. The OS, installed on the SSD storage, boots up quickly – allowing you to start using the laptop within seconds. Transferring large files and launching apps is quick, too.

Ports and Connectivity

Dell has provided three USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI port, a multimedia card reader and a 3.5mm headphone jack. For connectivity, Dell Inspiron 7000 i7559 carries a gigabit RJ-45 LAN port which will let you connect to a wired network.

For wireless connectivity, it features WiFi + Bluetooth combo. Connecting to wireless networks is flawless and once connected, the WiFi works reliably well. Dell could really provide 802.11ac connectivity for even better WiFi performance.

Dell Inspiron 7000 i7559: Overall Impressions

With a powerful processor, loads of RAM and permanent storage, 4GB dedicated graphics and a gorgeous 15.6-inch UHD display – Dell Inspiron 7000 i7559 is an impressive gaming laptop. It provides flawless performance during HD gaming and multimedia works.

Its 3KG (6 pounds) weight could be considered a downside of this laptop as you might not be okay carrying it around. But for a gaming laptop with a 15.6-inch display, this weight is nearly acceptable.

A battery that lasts about 4.5 to 5 hours on a full charge could also be considered as a con and you will have to carry the charger along if you plan to work on the go.

Priced around $940, this Dell laptop is definitely a go-to choice if you are looking for a powerful replacement for your desktop PC or an old gaming laptop.
