Dell recently refreshed its inspiron line but it kept its familiar hierarchy in place, so its easy to know where Dell laptops stand relative to one another.Down at the entry level we have the 3000 series, which are basic PCs designed for work or school at a price most shopper can afford.the model we tested was designed to be a budget minded desktop replacement configuration with a full size keyboard, 1TB of storage atouch screen display panel and more.Dell offer a few models up and dowan range of it in the model 3558 line that balance thing ou in other ways.The counterpoint is that every low price nonethless has the true price it exacts of course.The battery is low capacity side at 40 watt hours but Dell claims that the runtime should be good for up to 8-5 hours.The ouch pad meanwhile is reasonably large and offers gesture support that worked well.We were pleasantly surised by he qualiy of the touch experience here and on the LCD panel given the price of this laptp.Graphics power is rovided by the integrated intel HD Graphics 5500 silicon on the core i3 CPU.The CPU is coupled with 6GB of DDR3L low vltage memory that runs at 1600MHz.The left side of our tes unit offered an SD card reader slot, one USB 3.0 port, an HDMI1.4 video out portand gigabit ethernet jack, along with the connecoe for the laptop AC adapter .the right side sport a headphone jack, two USB 2.0 port, the tray for the laptops built in DVD RW burner and a notch for insering a kensington style security cable.The wirelss connectivity is surprisingly good.
