Archive.org versionSimply, if you are into battery life and solid cooling performance, the Inspiron 15 7577 definitely is the choice for you. However, if image quality is your top priority, the Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Black Edition (VN7-593G) with full-fledged GTX 1060 goes around for just about the same price. A more gaming-optimized solution is the Lenovo Legion Y720 (although with unsatisfactory image quality again). You might want to consider the Acer Predator Helios 300, which sports a more powerful GTX 1060 but fails to impress with cooling performance. But in the end, it all goes down to what you are willing to sacrifice in this segment with GTX 1060 and 1060 Max-Q laptops and to this point, the best choice is probably the HP Omen 15 (2017) with GTX 1060 Max-Q, as long as you are willing to spend a little bit extra for the almost spotless IPS display (some of them ship with 120Hz refresh rate as well).

The Dell Inspiron 15 7577-0098 is a gaming laptop with an affordable price tag. Budget gaming laptops are defined by their shortcomings. These machines compromise some aspects in favor of others, so they provide decent gaming performance without the hefty price tag. The Inspiron 15 has a larger footprint than most other 15-inch laptops, thanks to its design, which uses a lot of excess plastic on the chassis. At 5.82 pounds, users will also feel the weight when carrying it around. Featuring a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card with Max-Q design, an Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD, the Inspiron 15 7577-0098 features performance that does not break the bank, yet is still able to play some games at medium performance. The 512GB SSD in the Inspiron is remarkably fast for a budget machine, easily surpassing the speed of its more expensive counterparts. Even under a heavy load, the GTX 1060 and its complement of cooling fans never get too loud - this is thanks to the Max-Q design. As far as the outer design goes, Dell sticks to the sharp, angled edges that give the Inspiron its characteristic look and feel. Though less gamer-chic than most gaming laptops, it is different enough to stand apart from plain old business devices. The black-on-red design is understated enough that it does not stand out, but coupled with the red backlighting on the keyboard, there is enough attitude for it to still feel like a gaming laptop.
The Inspiron 15 features the standard array of ports, namely three USB-A ports, one USB-C port, an HDMI port, a headphone jack, an SD card slot, an Ethernet jack, and, of course, a Kensington lock. There is enough real estate here that users never feel cramped, and everything is right where it should be. Budget gaming laptops often fall short when it comes to display quality. It is an easy aspect to neglect in order to pack a more powerful GPU inside without pushing the price too high. Unfortunately, in this case, Dell cut a little too deep. The Ultra-HD LED backlit display on the Inspiron 15 gives everything a slightly-off hue. Lime green becomes pea green, crimson becomes dull red, and so on. It is better than the display on the previous Inspiron model, if only by a narrow margin. However, it is still ill-suited for any color-sensitive work, such as photo editing, and users will likely notice that colors look off during everyday use. Speaking of parts manufacturers sometimes skimp on in order to keep costs low, speakers are usually high on that list. Fortunately for the Dell Inspiron 15 7577-0098, the speakers here manage to get the job done without any real issues. At high volumes, the sound is clear, loud and capable of filling a room. The Dell Inspiron 15 7577-0098 is the perfect gaming laptop for the masses. While dedicated gaming laptops can be expensive and are made to be serious gaming machines, the Inspiron 15 is a normal laptop with superior gaming capabilities.

15.60":
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.

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.
