Bottom Line
If you are looking for a multimedia machine or a laptop for everyday use, the 2017 Dell Inspiron should not be overlooked.
The latest 2017 Dell Inspiron 3000 series 15.6-inch comes with a decent Intel i3-7100u processor that is backed by 8GB of RAM, that ensures plenty of room for multitasking capabilities. Furthermore, users liked its screen size and its touchscreen too, finding it to be responsive and pleasant to use overall. While it does have plenty of storage space, the older 5400RPM hard drive will make load times and boot times feel slightly sluggish overall. The screen is only 720p, as opposed to 1080p.
