Dell Inspiron 15 7000 review: A discrete GPU makes it better at play than work

Dell’s Inspiron 15 7000-series Ultrabooks, as represented by the 15.6-inch model 7537 Dell sent for this review, are a mixed bag. This model—let’s just call it the Inspiron 7537—looks great, has a nice display, and renders games well. Its ergonomics, on the other hand, aren’t all they could be; and given the amount of aluminum used in its construction, its chassis exhibits considerably more flex than I expected.

Holding and twisting the Inspiron 7537 by its diagonal corners caused the seams between its top and bottom to open slightly. This despite the fact that the laptop weighs in at 5.62 pounds, sans AC adapter. It is handsomely styled in light metal-gray with silver highlights, though, with a black bezel surrounding the vivid 1920x1080 display. Its screen is glossy to facilitate a pleasant and responsive touch experience, but it bounces like mad when you poke it with your finger. This is a problem I’ve noticed on too many touchscreen laptops. The industry needs to develop a hinge dampener.
