Dell Inspiron 15-7537 Pro Reviews

The Dell Inspiron 15 7000 is a fine choice for anyone looking to buy an attractive, powerful laptop that's not quite as pricey as a premium Ultrabook. With its quad-core CPU, 16GB of RAM and Nvidia GeForce GT 750M graphics, it can easily handle intensive multimedia tasks, like video editing or playing lighter 3D games. Moreover, the laptop's excellent keyboard and trackpad make doing serious productivity work a breeze. However, the speakers are liable to leave listeners disappointed. A good pair of headphones will suffice if you're just using the computer for personal entertainment, but you'll have to suffer the tinny audio if you want to watch a movie with friends. Nevertheless, if you're willing to look past sound quality, the Inspiron 15 7000 is a well-built, fast laptop that won't cost you an arm and a leg.

Great graphics and videos; impressive sound; lots of RAM; massive storage—this laptop comes on strong. And it's attractive and well-built to boot. Aside from its being a little heavy and a little sluggish when waking up, we didn't find many things to complain about. The Inspiron glided through most tasks, handling images, videos, and many games (the latter with the settings turned down some) with aplomb. Overall, we found the 7000 a pleasure to use.Notebooks like this are often dubbed desktop replacements. In this case, unless you're an avid gamer or intensive video or animation editor, the phrase fits. As a consumer-grade computer, the Inspiron is powerful, capable, and good-looking enough to be a first-class choice. To the question whether it's worth over $1,100, we say—yes indeed.

The touch-screen Dell Inspiron 15 (7537) ultrabook is aimed at power users who absolutely need premium components for heavy multitasking.

The Inspiron brand name, which is typically reserved for Dell’s entry-level systems, doesn’t do the Inspiron 15 7000 Series justice. This system is undoubtedly the reason why the XPS 15 is so expensive. In some areas, like display quality and battery life, the Inspiron actually out-performs the XPS 15. The fact that it does so at an as-tested price of $1,149 is stunning, and is yet more evidence that emptying your savings for the most expensive laptop on the market is often a losing strategy. There are a few drawbacks, however. The system is bulky and hefty, making for a poor travel companion, despite its excellent battery life. Plus, the fan can become quite a noise-maker at heavy load. Don’t let the Ultrabook sticker fool you; this is a desktop replacement. We can’t knock the Inspiron 15 7000 Series for being what it is though. We’re happy to see Dell offer an affordable, powerful, and well-rounded system. This is the everyman’s performance notebook – and one of the best desktop replacements sold today.

Dell's upscale 15-inch Ultrabook plays a good game, but its input ergonomics are subpar and it flexes in all the wrong places.

A beautifully designed laptop with a great battery life, but it’s not as powerful as other similarly priced desktop replacements

A purchase price of almost 1200 Euros (~$1619) is steep even for a luxuriously configured multimedia laptop. The customers rightly expect the highest degree of perfection even in detail - a demand that not every device can meet. Dell has introduced a largely convincing product with the Inspiron 15-7537. The laptop reaps in bonus points particularly for its high-quality casing, the high-performance in both applications and games, and the bright, viewing angle stable IPS touchscreen. Nevertheless, an optionally available matte screen would be welcome so that the outstanding battery runtimes could also be fully enjoyed outdoors. We would have appreciated a bit more fine-tuning in a few other things. For example, we missed support for the latest 802.11 ac Wi-Fi standard and a slightly higher wireless-transmission range. The short warranty period that can be upgraded for a relatively high price barely seems justified in view of the high base price. None of the listed shortcomings are really severe - and the competition also struggles with the one or other drawback. Therefore, we would like to refer to our reviews of Samsung's ATIV Book 8, Acer's Aspire V7-582PG and Asus' VivoBook S551LB to perhaps help decide, and which might be an alternative.
