Reviews for the Dell Inspiron 15 5568
Fusion. With a 15-inch convertible, Dell tries to merge the most important qualities of a laptop and tablet in its new Inspiron. However, some compromises have to be made to achieve this high goal.

Ultimately, the Dell Inspiron 15 5568 shares many of the same flaws as its nearest competitor, the 14.1in Lenovo Yoga 700. It’s incredibly fast and has plenty of power, but its poor display, problematic keyboard and underwhelming battery life make it one huge compromise when it comes to everything else. Overall, the Yoga 700 just about comes out on top, as its screen is marginally more accurate and its battery lasts just that little bit longer. However, it’s also £100 more expensive than the Inspiron 15 5568, which is a sizable increase in price for not a lot of benefit.

Model: The Dell Inspiron 15 5568 convertible is a stylish 2-in-1 device for productivity users. Switching between a traditional laptop, tent mode or stand mode works flawlessly due to the solid 360-degree hinge system. Design is kept simple and elegant with the silver chassis built for real world situations. Everything from the buttons to the hinge is tested rigorously to endure years of usage. Display on the Windows 10 device is a beautiful 15.6 inch FHD Truelife LED-backlit panel with IPS technology and touchscreen capability. Color saturation is true to life and brightness levels make the Dell Inspiron 15 5568 convertible a perfect on-the-go device.
The laptop comes equipped with a 6th Generation Intel Core i7-6500U processor clocked at 2.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4 2133 MHz RAM in dual channel configuration and an Intel HD Graphics 520 GPU. On-board storage comes in the form of a 256 GB SSD for blazing fast data transfer speeds. In addition, the Dell Inspiron 15 5568 convertible sports a backlit chiclet-style keyboard, an HDMI out, two USB 3.0 ports, a USB 2.0 port and a card reader. It achieves a battery life of up to 7 hours of mixed usage depending on the application used.
Intel HD Graphics 520: Integrated GPU (GT2) with 24 EUs found on some Skylake CPU models (15 W ULV series).
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
6500U: Skylake-based ULV dual-core processor for thin notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 520 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

72.23%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
