Dell Inspiron 15 7506 2-in-1 Convertible Review: Easy to Use, Easy to Own

Nothing special for all the right reasons. The Inspiron 15 7506 2-in-1 plays it safe with no distracting buzzwords or features to jack up the price. The final result is an affordable no-frills 15.6-inch convertible that does well in almost every category even if it doesn't excel in any particular one.

The Inspiron 7000 series is home to Dell's upper mid-range laptops in contrast to the budget Inspiron 3000 series or mid-range Inspiron 5000 series. The Inspiron 15 7506 is a 15.6-inch convertible in the Inspiron 7000 family to directly succeed the older 2018 Inspiron 15 7000 2-in-1. Two distinct Inspiron 15 7506 2-in-1 models are available: the more affordable Silver Edition and the full-fledged Black Edition which comes with additional features not found on the former including Intel Xe Max graphics, a pen garage, and a 4K UHD option.

Our review here will focus on the Silver Edition while the Black Edition review will come at a later date. Silver Edition SKUs range from $750 USD with the Core i5-1135G7 CPU, 8 GB of RAM, and 256 GB NVMe SSD up to $1100 USD for the Core i7-1165G7 CPU, 16 GB of RAM, and 512 GB NVMe SSD. All Silver Edition configurations come with the same 1080p touchscreen while a GeForce MX330 GPU option is in the works.

Alternatives to the Inspiron 15 7506 2-in-1 include other 15.6-inch convertibles like the Asus VivoBook Flip 15, HP Envy x360 15, or Lenovo Yoga C740-15.

Case

The chassis is distinctly mid-range to reflect its mid-range price point. It lacks the luxurious metal materials of the XPS series while avoiding the overly plastic feel of cheaper Inspiron 3000 or HP Pavilion systems. The lid and hinges, for example, feel stiff which gives a good sense of longevity when alternating between tablet mode and laptop mode. Nonetheless, the base and outer lid flex more than on the HP Spectre and we can still hear some creaking when opening or closing the lid.

When compared to the 2018 Inspiron 7000 2-in-1, our newer Inspiron 7506 2-in-1 is slightly smaller in length and width while being slightly thicker by almost a millimeter. However, the most notable improvement is weight as the newer model is about 300 g lighter to make tablet mode more ergonomic.

Maintenance

The bottom panel comes off easily with just a Philips screwdriver. RAM (2x SODIMM), storage, and WLAN are all removable.

Accessories and Warranty

There are no extras in the box outside of the AC adapter and paperwork. The Dell Active Pen is optional.

The standard one-year limited warranty applies with extension options of up to four years.

Input Devices

Keyboard

Key feedback is average and could be firmer or with deeper travel. Part of the problem is the overlying base which flexes more easily down the center of the keyboard as opposed to the left- or right-hand sides. The typing experience is not as crisp as on the Dell XPS or HP Spectre.

Touchpad

The large clickpad (11.5 x 8 cm) is smooth and with a bit of sticking when gliding at slow speeds for accurate cursor control. Unfortunately, its integrated mouse clicks are way too shallow and spongy. The unsatisfying feedback makes the laptop more difficult to use without an external mouse or stylus for inputs.

Display

The Dell system is a first in our database to use an LG Philips 156WFF IPS panel. Nonetheless, its properties are similar to what we observed on the older 2018 Inspiron 7000 2-in-1 with its 4K AU Optronics panel save for the resolution difference. Contrast is high and colors are deep to represent a quality panel. Its main drawbacks are the slow black-white response times and average display brightness.

* ... smaller is better

Color space covers all of sRGB and approximately 63 percent of AdobeRGB not unlike most high-end Ultrabooks. We appreciate that there is no lesser baseline 1080p option with just 60 percent sRGB coverage. The HP Envy 15, Lenovo Yoga C740, and Asus VivoBook Flip 15, for example, all come with panels with inferior color reproduction.

Grayscale and colors are not well calibrated out of the box which is to be expected for a laptop in this price range. Color temperature in particular is way too warm at 5810 with relatively high average grayscale and color DeltaE values of 5.3 and 3.75, respectively. We recommend an end-user calibration to get the most out of the display as colors improve noticeably as shown by our CalMan measurements below.

Display Response Times

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
36 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 22.8 ms rise
↘ 13.2 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 93 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
52.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 29.2 ms rise
↘ 23.2 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. » 87 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (33.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

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 18110 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Outdoor visibility is worse than on the XPS 15 but otherwise similar to the HP Envy x360 15 or Lenovo Yoga C740. Colors appear washed out if under sunlight while glare is inevitable even if under shade. This is a convertible you'll mostly want to use indoors.

Performance

Processor options include either the 11th gen Core i5-1135G7 or Core i7-1165G7 to replace the older 10th gen Core i5-1035G7 and i7-1065G7, respectively. There are no i7-1185G7 or AMD Ryzen options at the moment. Upgrading to the Black Edition grants the optional Iris Xe Max for extra graphics horsepower.

We set our system to Ultra Performance mode via the Dell Power Manager software prior to running all performance benchmarks below. Users should become familiar with the software since it includes options not found on the standard Windows power profile menu.

Processor

Multi-thread performance is about 10 percent faster than the average Core i5-1135G7 laptop in our database. In fact, the system has better performance sustainability than some laptops with the pricier Core i7-1165G7 CPU like the Asus VivoBook S15 S533EQ. Users can expect up to 30 percent faster multi-thread CPU performance or 8 percent faster single-thread performance over the Core i7-8565U in the 2018 Inspiron 7000 2-in-1.

The competing Ryzen 5 4500U is able to outperform our Core i5-1135G7 just slightly in multi-thread benchmarks while falling behind in single-thread benchmarks.

Storage Devices

Our unit comes with a Toshiba BG4 NVMe SSD as opposed to the BG3 NVMe SSD on our 2018 Inspiron 7000 2-in-1. Transfer rates are slightly faster overall even though sequential write rates are still slow at just 350 MB/s. The XPS 15 9500 comes with this same Toshiba SSD but is able to run it much faster.

GPU Performance

Graphics performance is slower than the Iris Xe 96 EUs by about 30 to 35 percent according to 3DMark benchmarks to be roughly comparable to the GeForce MX150 or MX250. Nonetheless, performance is still faster than last year's Iris Plus G7 and especially the older UHD Graphics 620. For light gaming or editing, the boost in graphics over previous generations is welcomed.

See our dedicated page on the Iris Xe 80 EUs for more technical information and benchmarks.

System Noise

Fan noise is quiet under most conditions. When browsing or streaming, fan noise would occasionally jump to 30.5 or 31.5 dB(A) for short periods against a silent background of 27.1 dB(A). Higher loads for extended periods like gaming may induce a fan noise ranging from 37 dB(A) to 47 dB(A) to be louder than many other 15.6-inch convertibles, but you'll have to really stress the laptop to reach levels.

We noticed no electronic noise or coil whine from our test unit.

Temperature

Surface temperatures are much warmer on the bottom surface than the top. When under high processing stress, the bottom can be as warm as 48 C compared to only 35 C on the keyboard hot spot. The laptop is never uncomfortable to type on as a result, but be sure to not obstruct the ventilation grilles underneath especially since core temperatures can be very warm as our Stress Test section below will illustrate.

Stress Test

When running Prime95, CPU clock rates would boost to 4.0 GHz for just the first couple of seconds until hitting a core temperature of 100 C. Clock rates would then stabilize at about 3.2 GHz and at a very warm CPU temperature of 99 C to be much warmer than essentially all other 15.6-inch convertibles when subjected to similar conditions. Users who prefer cooler core temperatures can select the slower Cool or Optimized power profiles in Dell Power Manager instead.

Running on battery power will slightly impact GPU performance. A 3DMark 11 test on batteries would return Physics and Graphics scores of 9902 and 5089 points, respectively, compared to 9295 and 5431 points when on mains.

Energy Management

Power Consumption

Running medium to high loads like games will demand between 30 W 43 W compared to 57 W on the 2018 model powered by the discrete GeForce MX150. The new Tiger Lake model is definitely more power efficient without needing to sacrifice raw graphics performance, but many games are still expected to run better on MX150 systems simply due to superior drivers and compatibility from Nvidia.

We're able to record a maximum consumption of 69.7 W from the small (~10.4 x 4.5 x 2.8) 65 W AC adapter when running extreme loads. However, this rate only lasts for just a few seconds as shown by the graphs below due to thermal limitations.

Battery Life

Battery capacity is slightly smaller than on the older 2018 model (53 Wh vs. 56 Wh), but WLAN runtimes are 90 minutes longer likely due to design improvements and the newer and more efficient processor.

Charging from empty to full capacity takes about 2 hours. It's possible to recharge the system via USB-C as well.

Verdict

In review: Dell Inspiron 15 7506 2-in-1 Silver Edition. Test unit provided by Dell US
In review: Dell Inspiron 15 7506 2-in-1 Silver Edition. Test unit provided by Dell US

The main differentiating factor between the Inspiron 15 7506 2-in-1 Silver Edition and other 15.6-inch convertibles with older CPUs is its support for Thunderbolt 4. Laptops like the Asus ZenBook Flip 15, VivoBook Flip 15, or HP Envy x360 15 do not support Thunderbolt at all which limit their docking capabilities. If you plan to exploit this feature with eGPUs and multiple 4K monitors, then the Dell convertible will offer a ton of value.

Other notable features are the fast processor performance and readily accessible RAM and SSD. Owning a convertible laptop doesn't mean you'll have to sacrifice performance or serviceability with this Dell system.

As for the negatives, the soft clickpad and keyboard feedback could use more attention. Its keys are nowhere near as firm or satisfying to type on when compared to the HP Envy x360 15 and its gray font can also be difficult to see against the gray key caps. If you can get used to the mediocre keyboard and clickpad, then the Inspiron 15 7506 2-in-1 will prove itself to be a versatile solution with its form factor, steady performance, and wide connectivity options.

A balanced convertible with great performance, serviceability, and Thunderbolt 4 support. However, there's still a lot of room for improvement in regards to the clickpad and display brightness.
