Dell has made some sacrifices in order to bring the price to a very competitive level without compromising the notebook reliability. At the end of the day, maybe that’s what is most important for serious work, but you should know that Inspiron 5559 isn’t suitable for anything else. Although the AMD Radeon R5 M335 graphic card has its own dedicated memory(4GB DDR3), this doesn’t necessarily mean that you can use it for gaming – CS:GO is the limit, or may be GTA V and Tomb Raider, at their lowest settings. Let’s put that aside, you probably wouldn’t be reading this review if you’re a gamer – Dell Inspiron 5559 has very good CPU performance and if you invest a hundred bucks in an additional SSD(you can swap the DVD writer with an HDD caddy), the notebook will become blazingly fast in all your business applications. Add to that the aforementioned reliability(secured by the 36 months of NBD warranty), you get one of the best business laptops out there.
Dell Inspiron 5559 has decent battery life, so it can easily become your faithful companion on your business trips, and you’ll be using it with pleasure since it looks very good and the whole body doesn’t take fingerprints and smudges. We’re not so happy with the screen, however – this was probably the cheapest option for Dell – a TN panel with narrow viewing angles, meager sRGB coverage and PWM across almost all brightness levels. If you can live with that, Inspiron 5559 is a great choice.
