Archive.org versionThe Dell Inspiron 7000 series has always been an enticing budget laptop for students, but it’s classier and thinner looks are sure to turn a few heads in the business world too. For the low price of $799 (about £620, AU$1,010), you’re getting a decent setup with an 8th generation Intel Core i5 CPU and a 128GB SSD. The 4GB of RAM on the base model is a shame, but hopefully it won’t be anything a small aftermarket upgrade won’t fix.

Model: The Dell Inspiron laptop line has been a longtime favorite for college students, however, this latest rendition might also entice those looking for an affordable Ultrabook. This year’s latest redesign of the 13-inch Dell Inspiron 13 7370-9665 is strikingly thinner than ever and better equipped with Intel’s recently announced 8th generation processors. As for design, it is an arrangement very similar to the Huawei MateBook X and this isn’t the only similarity between the two. Both machines are built with slender frames, milled completely from metal and Dell has even introduced Platinum Silver and Champagne Pink color. A purely clamshell laptop is strangely a return to form for the Dell Inspiron 7000 lineup, which has only seen 2-in-1 models for the last two years. Along the right edge of the keyboard is a power button with an integrated fingerprint scanner for another biometric option for a convenient way to sign in. Dell has drastically reduced the size of the bezels to thin bars. Last year’s Inspiron 13 model brought a great reduction in thickness at 0.76 inch (1.92 cm) and this latest version of the laptop continues to cut down on the bulk to a mere 0.65-inch (1.67 cm). It’s classier and thinner looks are sure to turn a few heads in the business world too.
Under the hood, the Dell Inspiron 13 7370-9665 features Intel 8th generation Core i5-8250U processor, Intel UHD Graphics 620 graphics processor and 8 GB of DDR4-2400 RAM. The Kaby Lake Refresh doubles the cores on its U-series processor. Not only will these CPUs perform better at creative tasks, Intel’s integrated UHD graphics should better handle creating and consuming streaming media. As for storage, the laptop features a 256 GB NVMe solid state drive. The only thing holding back the Dell Inspiron 13 7370 are Full HD only display options, whereas the Huawei’s flagship starts with a 1440p resolution screen. However, the Full HD IPS display lets user view the screen from a variety of angles without compromising image quality. In addition, the amazingly bright 300-nit screen makes for easier working outdoors and a more comfortable streaming. For better audio experience, Waves MaxxAudio Pro offers a professional sound and completes user immersive experience. The audio produced from the Inspiron 13 7370 is automatically enhanced by clearer treble, improved bass and significantly higher volume. Dell also claims we will see up to 9 hours and 31 minutes of battery life on the Dell Inspiron 13 7370 according to the industry standard MobileMark 2014.
