The Inspiron 15 3505 shines with low noise levels, two drive slots, and a moderate price. The installed Ryzen 5 APU does not reach its full performance potential. The battery life is poor.

We were prepared to give the Dell Inspiron 15 3535 a four-star review when it sold for $299.99, but its drastic fluctuations in price made its value challenging to assess, and it still is. In its stead, we suggest Dell shoppers consider variants like the model 3520, which uses 12th Generation Intel Core CPUs. That model has the same dim screen and limited connectivity, but at least it will save you some more cash. Perhaps it would be even better to consider a Chromebook Plus laptop (this Asus model is one of our favorites), which we've found delivers a higher-quality experience than Windows for budgets less than $500. Microsoft's platform pulls ahead at about $700 and up, but if you're stuck on Windows and need to save, we still suggest the Acer Aspire 3 first and foremost.

76.63%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
