Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Series review: This 15-inch notebook disappoints

Dell’s Inspiron 15 5000 series is the bigger-screened cousin to its Inspiron 14 5000 series. The former is outfitted with a spacious 15.6-inch display while the latter has a 14-incher. I’ll review the Inspiron 15 model 5547 here, and you can read my colleague Jon L. Jacobi’s review of the Inspiron 14 model 5447 on this page.

The Inspiron 15 5547 is a slim notebook with a fast Intel Core i7-4510U processor, an ample 16GB of DDR3/1600 memory, and an IPS display with native resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. With those specs, you might also expect to find a speedy SSD inside its chassis, but Dell cheaped out by providing a capacious but annoyingly slow 1TB, 5400 rpm mechanical drive. And that’s not the only thing I didn’t like about this machine.
