Dell is currently offering its latest Inspiron 15 5515 laptop for $70 USD off the original asking price in celebration of the 4th of July Holiday. Users must apply the coupon code 'WEEKEND10' at checkout. The Inspiron series is home to the company's budget to midrange laptops in contrast to the higher-end XPS series.
This particular deal is notable for its high specifications relative to the asking price. Users would be getting an aluminum chassis, octa-core Ryzen 7 5700U CPU, roomy 512 GB PCIe NVMe SSD, and a 1080p matte display. The AMD CPU in particular is as fast or faster than most Intel 10th gen or even 11th Ultrabooks available that typically retail for hundreds of dollars more.
We've yet to personally test this model, however, and so we can't offer our take on the system. We suspect that the 1080p display will have limited color reproduction of only 60 to 70 percent sRGB much like most other budget laptops. There is also no Thunderbolt support which is a limitation of the AMD CPU.

After graduating with a B.S. in environmental hydrodynamics from the University of California, I studied reactor physics to become licensed by the U.S. NRC to operate nuclear reactors. There's a striking level of appreciation you gain for everyday consumer electronics after working with modern nuclear reactivity systems astonishingly powered by computers from the 80s. When I'm not managing day-to-day activities and US review articles on Notebookcheck, you can catch me following the eSports scene and the latest gaming news.
