Dell Inspiron 15 3000 3511 laptop review: Making cheaper better

Name: Dell Inspiron 15 3000 3511
Brand: Dell

Super quiet. Is $550 enough for a decent laptop these days? The new Inspiron 15 3511 comes with the 11th gen Core i5 CPU to make it nearly as fast as most pricier Ultrabooks, but you'll have to live with a handful of cut corners including the lack of even a USB-C port.

Laptop Tiger Lake Touchscreen

The Inspiron 15 3511 is the direct successor to last year's Inspiron 15 3501. It introduces a brand new chassis design that's both thinner and lighter for increased portability. There are a few other surprises as well to help the Inspiron 15 3511 edge out many other models in its budget price range.

SKUs range from the Core i3-1115G4 up to the Core i7-1165G7 with UHD Graphics or Iris Xe, 4 GB to 12 GB of RAM, and 128 GB to 512 GB PCIe NVMe storage. A 1080p IPS display comes standard with optional touch. Our specific review unit is a mid-range configuration with a Core i5 CPU, 8 GB of single-channel RAM, 256 GB SSD, and 1080p touchscreen for approximately $550 USD retail.

Competitors in this space include other inexpensive 15.6-inch multimedia/office laptops like the HP Pavilion 15, Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15, Asus VivoBook S15, or the Acer Aspire series.

Case

The revamped Inspiron 15 3511 design significantly shrinks the bottom "chin" bezel of the 3501 for a greater screen-to-body ratio. The system now also utilizes similar hinges as found on the VivoBook, MSI Prestige, or HP Pavilion to lift the base at a slight angle for improved ergonomics and airflow. 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. The keyboard center, outer lid, and edges of the base can twist and warp fairly easily with enough pressure.

The new model is approximately 11 percent smaller and 15 percent lighter than its predecessor. However, the 3501 design was actually quite large meaning that the 3511 design is more comparable to the Pavilion, VivoBook, or IdeaPad 3 in terms of size and weight.

Plastic base and keys are distinctly budget in contrast to the metal materials of costlier Inspiron 7000 or XPS models

Lid opens up to a maximum of ~140 degrees. Base lifts slightly when lid is opened

The lid tends to teeter a lot when adjusting angles

Matte outer lid is slightly roughened in texture to reduce unsightly fingerprint buildup

The redesigned hinges help distinguish the Inspiron 3511 from the Inspiron 3501

Connectivity

There are fewer ports on the newer Inspiron 15 3511 when compared to the older Inspiron 15 3501. The Cable lock slot and RJ-45 port, for example, are now completely gone. Dell didn't even bother to include a USB-C option.

Interestingly, the HDMI port here can only support up to 1080p60 and with no 2K or 4K options according to Dell's own product page.

SD Card Reader

The integrated SD card reader is slow. Transferring 1 GB of pictures from our UHS-II test card to desktop takes over 50 seconds compared to just 14 seconds on the HP Pavilion 15-eg.

Fully inserted SD card will always protrude by over half its length unlike on most other laptops

Webcam

There appears to be no improvements to camera quality from last year's Inspiron 3501. There is no webcam shutter or Windows Hello support, either.

Maintenance

The bottom panel pops off more easily than expected especially for such a cheap model. Users have direct access to two storage bays, two SODIMM slots, WLAN module, and most of the main components.

Bottom panel is secured by just 8 Philips screws

Accessories and Warranty

There are no extras in the box other than the AC adapter and paperwork. The standard one-year limited manufacturer warranty applies.

Input Devices

Keyboard

Key feedback is a tad lighter and softer than expected for a spongy feel. The Space and Enter keys in particular feel weaker than they should be when compared to the same keys on an HP Pavilion, Lenovo IdeaPad, or Asus VivoBook.

A keyboard backlight is not available.

Touchpad

The clickpad is relatively large at 11.5 x 8 cm compared to 10.5 x 7.3 cm on the Asus Vivobook 15 K513EQ or 11.5 x 7.4 cm on the 2021 HP Pavilion 15. Its surface is stickier than on many other clickpads as well particularly when gliding at slower or medium-slow speeds. It's reliable enough for regular cursor control, but other actions like clicking or dragging-and-dropping can be tiring without actual buttons or a USB mouse.

The plastic keys and clickpad will attract unsightly grease over time much more quickly than on most other laptops

Clickpad is loud when clicked, but it's still somewhat on the spongy side

The labeling on each key is stamped instead of etched meaning it will eventually scratch off or degrade over time

NumPad keys are narrower and more cramped when compared to the main QWERTY keys

Display

The Inspiron 15 3511 uses a different BOE panel than the one found on the older Inspiron 15 3501 (BOE NV15T06 vs. BOE NV15N3D). Despite this, core attributes are largely unchanged including the very narrow color space. Contrast ratio and response times are actually quite decent for a budget laptop, but the limited sRGB reproduction in particular is what ultimately separates this Inspiron display from a pricier XPS, Spectre, or ZenBook alternative. Colors appear shallower and not nearly as vivid which is par for the course for most cheap laptops.

Matte touchscreen with no edge-to-edge glass options

Very narrow side bezes with thicker top and bottom bezels

RGB subpixel array is slightly grainier than a glossy alternative

* ... smaller is better

Color space is limited to just 59 percent of sRGB compared to >90 percent on pricier alternatives like the XPS 15. The narrow gamut is to be expected on budget laptops such as our Inspiron 15.

Color temperature is slightly too warm out of the box which our X-Rite colorimeter is able to address. Once calibrated, average grayscale and color DeltaE values would drop from 5.1 and 6.34 to just 0.7 and 2.08, respectively. Nonetheless, the poor color reproduction mentioned above means that deltaE will inevitably increase significantly at higher saturation levels.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
24 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 14 ms rise
24 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 10 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 48 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21.5 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
31.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 17.2 ms rise
31.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 14.4 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 36 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (33.7 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 17900 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Outdoor visibility is poor even if working under shade. Maximum brightness would automatically drop from 240 nits to just 207 nits when running on battery power to make an already dim display even dimmer if no AC outlet is nearby. We cannot find the appropriate Dell, Windows, or Intel setting that is responsible for the automatic battery brightness control.

Wide IPS viewing angles. Colors and contrast degrade significantly only if viewing from extreme angles

Performance

Testing Conditions

Our unit was set to Best Performance via Windows prior to running any performance benchmarks below for the highest possible scores.

Processor

Overall CPU performance is within just a few percentage points of the average laptop in our database equipped with the same Core i5-1135G7 processor. Performance sustainability is also good even though the initial Turbo Boost benefits are much smaller when compared to pricier alternatives like the Asus ExpertBook B1 B1500CEAE or Honor MagicBook 15 as shown by our CineBench R15 xT loop results below.

Upgrading to the Core i7-1165G7 is only expected to increase single-thread and multi-thread performance by 5 and 15 percent, respectively. Meanwhile, downgrading to the Core i3-1115G4 option is expected to decrease multi-thread performance by almost 30 percent.

GPU Performance

Graphics performance is 30 to 45 percent slower than the average laptop in our database equipped with the same integrated Iris Xe 80 EUs GPU. The disappointing results can be mostly contributed to the measly 8 GB of single-channel memory compared to 16 GB or more of dual-channel memory on the vast majority of pricier models. It's highly recommended to install another stick of RAM if maximizing GPU performance is a priority.

Emissions

System Noise

Fan noise profile

The system is very quiet under most day-to-day loads such as web browsing or video streaming. In fact, it's able to remain almost silent for much longer than expected. The internal fan would remain idle even after running the first benchmark scene of 3DMark 06 which doesn't happen very often on most other laptops.

Running games for extended periods would eventually cause the fan to stabilize at 31.5 dB(A). If the CPU becomes stressed even further, fan noise would top out at almost 40 dB(A) which would still be quieter than most alternatives like the Asus VivoBook S15 or Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15.

Cooling solution consists of just one ~45 mm fan and a short copper heat pipe

Temperature

Hot spots are concentrated toward the back of the system where the processor and its cooling solution are positioned. Temperatures can reach up to 38 C and 57 C on the top and bottom of the laptop, respectively, compared to only 31 C and 43 C on the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15. The palm rest and most of the keyboard will always be much cooler for comfortable use no matter the load.

No ventilation along the sides or back of the chassis. Instead, hot air is vented upwards towards the front of the screen

Stress Test

Running Prime95 causes the CPU to spike to 3.5 GHz for the first few seconds until its core temperature reaches 100 C. Clock rates would then drop quickly to the 2.5 to 2.8 GHz range in order to maintain a cooler temperature of 80 C. CPU package power would peak at around 34 W during the start of the test before stabilizing at 22 W. Running this same test on the Core i7 Asus Vivobook 15 K513EQ would result in a higher steady clock rate of 3.1 GHz instead.

The CPU would stabilize at 62 C when running Witcher 3 to represent heavy loads compared to 57 C on the AMD-powered Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15ALC6.

Running on battery power will not limit performance. 3DMark 11 scores would remain essentially identical between battery power and AC adapter power.

Energy Management

Power Consumption

Idling on desktop draws between 3 W and 7 W to be more efficient than expected relative to other 15.6-inch laptops running on U-series CPUs. Interestingly, power consumption is not steady when running Witcher 3; the system would cycle between 30 W and 42 W even though frame rates appear to be steady.

We're able to record a maximum draw of 56 W from the small (~10.6 x 4.5 x 2.8 cm) 65 W AC adapter when running extreme loads where the CPU reaches 100 percent utilization. This draw is only temporary as shown by our graph below.

Prime95 stress. Consumption would stabilize at about 34 W

Prime95+FurMark stress initiated at 10s mark. Consumption would spike to 55 W temporarily before falling to 35 W

Battery Life

Expect about 6.5 hours of real-world WLAN use before needing to recharge the internal 40 Wh battery. Results are somewhat comparable to the HP Pavilion 15-eg which also comes with a battery of similar size.

Charging from empty to full takes roughly 2 hours with the included AC adapter.

Verdict

Our favorite aspect of the Inspiron 15 3511 is how easily serviceable it is. Inexpensive models tend to dissuade end-user upgrades by making their bottom panels difficult to remove or by hiding screws underneath the rubber feet. The fact that our Inspiron houses 2x SODIMM slots and 2x storage bays means owners can simply buy a low-end configuration and then add more RAM or storage themselves to save on costs. The single-channel RAM on our test unit in particular significantly impacts the graphics performance of Iris Xe and so it's highly recommended to add another module to boost GPU performance.

Fan noise, or lack thereof, is another aspect worth praising. The system is able to remain quieter for longer than most other Ultrabooks even when running more demanding loads. Remember that the model is using the same 11th gen Core i5 and Core i7 CPUs as on the XPS 13 series retailing for twice the price.

Th Inspiron 15 3511 is perhaps one of the easiest budget laptops to service and upgrade. Performance-per-dollar is high, but you'll have to get over the less-than-stellar chassis design.

Almost everything else about the system is mediocre from the shallow colors, spongy keyboard keys, and cheap feel of the chassis. Such drawbacks are generally excusable for a budget model, but we still find it incredibly strange to not see a USB-C port when nearly all other consumer laptops are including one these days.

Price and Availability

The Inspiron 15 3511 is now widely available online and with many SKUs to choose from. Dell is selling it directly while Newegg, Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart all have select SKUs ranging from $349 USD up to over $1000 if fully configured.

After graduating with a B.S. in environmental hydrodynamics from the University of California, I studied reactor physics to become licensed by the U.S. NRC to operate nuclear reactors. There's a striking level of appreciation you gain for everyday consumer electronics after working with modern nuclear reactivity systems astonishingly powered by computers from the 80s. When I'm not managing day-to-day activities and US review articles on Notebookcheck, you can catch me following the eSports scene and the latest gaming news.
