The Dell Inspiron i7559-763BLK is a best selling 15.6-Inch laptop that received positive reviews for its build quality, full-sized keyboard, modern specs including an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M with plenty of video memory, and a solid state drive for fast transfer speeds. However, it received some criticism for its lack of an optical drive, the overuse of plastic in its design, minor screen bleed and only including 8 GB of RAM. Overall, if you are looking for a great mid range laptop for gaming or graphic editing on the go, the i7559-763BLK should be near the top of your short list.
While you may not think of Dell when you think gaming, the Dell Inspiron i7559-763BLK may just change your mind. Powered by a 6th generation Skylake Quad Core Intel i5-6300HQ running at 2.3 GHz along with a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M with 4 GB of RAM, this laptop packs in plenty of punch perfect for running a wide variety of newly released games at high frame rates.
On top of that, it comes with a 256 GB SSD, which will allow all your apps and games to load at lightning speeds. It won’t leave you much room for storing files, however, so you may want to pick up an external hard drive while you’re at it just to make sure you have enough room for all your saved files and media files that I’m sure you will want to be loaded on this speed demon.
While its RAM size is a little lower than many of the ultra-powerful machines on this list, the 8 GB of DDR3L memory will give you more than enough room to open multiple apps for a wide variety of tasks, although you may be more limited on higher end applications and we’d recommend a DIY memory upgrade to 16GB for best performance.
The new Skylake architecture also supports DDR4 RAM for potential RAM upgrades in the future. Overall if you are looking for a well-balanced gaming powerhouse that will run almost anything you throw at it for an extremely competitive price, you can’t go wrong with the i7559-763BLK.
