The Dell Vostro 3520 is a good choice for unpretentious users who need a budget laptop for normal tasks or office usage. As always, have a look at the specs before buying because of can end up with a 768p TN display and an underpowered Tiger Lake processor. An Alder Lake-based configuration with at least six cores and a 1080p IPS screen should be the way to go for most people. Dual-channel memory is generally beneficial for CPU and iGPU performance. The device we bought, however, is equipped with only one 8GB RAM module, which may have limited (more or less) the benchmark results. Speaking of which, the optional Full HD screen (8FNMF-B156HAN (AUOED8F)) is just fine for everyday work. It lacks PWM usage which is important if you plan to stay in front of the laptop for many hours.

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.
