It’s only capable of rendering 46 percent of the AdobeRGB gamut, and 61 percent of the sRGB color gamut. The Inspiron 15’s display falls well short of both. On top of that, even the most basic monitor can usually hit about 90 percent of the sRGB color space. Most laptops, as you can see here, land in the 70-75 percent range of the AdobeRGB color space. That, however, doesn’t forgive its absolutely awful color gamut. First, the Inspiron’s display is well below average in a few areas, but it’s better than the display on the previous Inspiron model, if only by a narrow margin. There are a couple important things to note about these results. Our display benchmarks below illustrate just what it is that this display does wrong - and what it does right. Blues tend to get by with minimal distortion, though, so Microsoft Outlook’s characteristic sky blue is mostly unaffected.
The same goes for the familiar verdant green of Spotify’s logo, or the bright red of LastPass. That familiar neon Nvidia green is completely sapped of life by this display, and pushed toward yellow. Just right click on the desktop and open up the Nvidia Control Panel. Familiar colors, the likes of which we see every day in company logos, become a bit unfamiliar on the Inspiron 15’s display. Lime green becomes pea green, crimson becomes dull red, and so on.

The 1080p display on the Inspiron 15 gives everything a slightly-off hue. Lime green becomes pea green, crimson is dull red. The display shows colors slightly-off hue. Unfortunately, in the Inspiron 15’s case, Dell cut a little too deep. It’s an easy aspect to neglect in order to pack a more powerful GPU inside without pushing the price too high. Better and worseīudget gaming laptops often fall short when it comes to display quality. Sometimes it’s not such a bad idea to be forgettable. They get out of your way and let you do your work without being noticed. Its keyboard and touchpad aren’t anything to write home about, and that’s a good thing. It’s the same kind of basic functionality you see in the Omen EON-15 S. The touchpad is slick and responsive, and the keyboard feels like a keyboard. Press too hard, and it bends inward more than a standard touchpad does.īy comparison, the Acer Predator Helios 300 offers a keyboard and touchpad combo that just gets the job done without any bizarre missteps. On top of that, the touchpad doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. Multi-touch gestures, like using two fingers to scroll up or down or two fingers to right-click, often need to be repeated more than once in order to be detected. The touchpad feels unresponsive compared to the previous Inspiron 15 model. It’s a bit less pronounced, since you won’t be resting your fingers on it as long as you would a typical keyboard, but it has its own share of issues. That uncomfortable key texture is the same texture you’ll find on the touchpad. The keyboard here feels like it was another corner cut to keep costs down. The XPS lineup feels crisp and clean, and the keycaps are slick and comfortable under your fingertips. The travel is nice and deep, but the key caps have a slightly gritty texture that never goes away.Ĭompared to typing on a laptop like the Dell XPS 13 or Dell XPS 15, there’s a marked difference. The keys themselves feel like a bit of a step backward, though.
The Inspiron’s keyboard features a red backlight like the previous model, along with the black-on-red keycaps. There’s enough real estate here that you never feel cramped, and everything is right where it should be. The Inspiron 15 features the standard array of ports - three USB-A ports, one USB-C port, an HDMI port, a headphone jack, an SD card slot, an Ethernet jack, and of course a Kensington lock you’ll probably never use. In a lot of ways, the design of the new InspiGaming feels like a step backward rather than a step forward. In fact, just two models back, the late 2016 version was slimmer, lighter, and had a smaller overall footprint. Laptops typically get smaller, slimmer over time, each iteration getting a bit more svelte than the last. Naturally, we wouldn’t expect the same level of engineering from a budget laptop that we see in something like the Razer Blade, but it’s good example of how small a gaming laptop with a GTX 1060 inside can be. Compared to the Acer Predator Helios 300, which has a similar overall footprint, the Inspiron 15 feels bigger than it needs to be.
