Dell Inspiron 15 7567 [7567-8814]

Games for the people

The Dell Inspiron 7567 is the cheapest series of gaming laptops on the market (from $900). The junior configuration includes an Intel Core i5-7300HQ processor and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 graphics card. The main savings are in the display — it is 15-inch with FullHD resolution, but is made using TN technology, which is why it is dull and with small viewing angles.

Adult Components

Laptop processor 7300HQ, unlike dual-core four-thread counterparts with the U index, has four physical cores, like the desktop Core i5. Its base frequency is 2.5 GHz, the maximum Turbo Boost frequency for a single core is 3.5 GHz, but most of the time it runs at 3 GHz (auto overclocking for all cores). The mobile version of the GTX 1050 graphics card is similar to the desktop one with the same 640 Pascal microkernels, but has increased video memory from 2 to 4 GB. In general, the 7300HQ + GTX 1050 bundle even in the newest and most demanding games gives out 60 FPS at 1080p resolution on medium or, at worst, low graphics settings.

Two discs in one

The disk subsystem of the Inspiron 7567 is represented by one hybrid drive, consisting of a 1 TB HDD and an 8 GB SSD that acts as a cache. It's certainly not the same as a big, fast SSD, but it's noticeably faster than a regular hard drive. In addition to the poor colour reproduction of the screen, you can blame the Dell Inspiron 7567 for the reduced cursor arrows on the keyboard (these buttons are often used in games). And to praise — for the 2.1-channel audio system: a pair of speakers plus a subwoofer. Dell Inspiron 7567 is the main candidate for the role of the first gaming laptop in your life, a kind of "probe". If you like it, buy something more serious over time. If not, that's okay, since the Inspiron 7567 isn't much more expensive than multimedia models.
