Buying a work laptop for yourself or for your team is no easy feat. We all want a laptop that gets the jobs done. A work laptop also needs to be durable, secure and sleek, so you can carry it around easily. Finding all of this in one device may seem impossible however the Dell Inspiron 15 5578 could prove us wrong. It is a model that lies on the premium side of the Dell’s Inspiron series line-up. It is loaded with work-oriented features, and a hardware configuration for handling heavy computing loads.
Work laptops can be heavy since they pack in a ton of hardware. The new Inspiron 15 5578 is 15.6-inch laptop weighing 1.6 kg, much lighter than other models in the market, making going from one conference room to another a stress-free task. The laptop is sleeker than the older models, so it fits in your backpack or sling bag. Don’t mistake the laptop’s sleek and lightweight nature for flimsy build quality. The device offers an all-aluminium construction that is sturdier than the cheaper alternatives. It should hold up well against accidental bumps occurring over regular use and travel.
The Dell Inspiron 15 5578 has a subtle and professional design. Its Platinum Silver colour stands out from traditional-looking black laptops. The device’s matte finish adds a premium touch and keeps fingerprints and smudges away. The hinges are designed to prevent the display from wobbling and the rubber pads at the bottom of the hinges lift the laptop to improve airflow. Dell says this design allows the new dual-fans to draw in more air to cool the CPU and GPU.
Whether you are working on massive Excel spreadsheets or working on large software development projects, the Inspiron 15 5578 has all the power you need. It comes with the Intel Core i5-11300H CPU with a base speed of 3.1 GHz that can go all the way up to 4.40 GHz as the performance demand arises. This processor is also power-efficient and produces less heat than the older model. The device has 16 GB of RAM, so intense multitasking is no issue.
The laptop comes with a 512GB NVMe SSD, and an additional slot for expansion. As SSDs have no moving parts, they are more reliable than hard drives. This means fewer chances of losing your data, making the device ideal for long-term usage. The Inspiron 15 5578 has the Intel Xe integrated graphics solution that is good enough for running basic photo and video editing tools. It also lets you run less-demanding games like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota 2, Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition and Rocket League. If graphics performance is a priority, you can choose a variant with the NVIDIA GeForce MX 450 dedicated graphics card.
The device’s 15.6-inch display is perfect for office work due to its anti-glare treatment. It helps eliminate screen glare, allowing for a comfortable viewing experience. Dell has also managed to minimise the bezels. This might be a work laptop, but that doesn’t mean there’s no fun to be had. The display’s IPS panel renders accurate colours, making watching Netflix and Amazon Prime content a joy.
The Inspiron 15 5578 has connectivity covered. It has two USB 3.2 ports for high-speed data transfer and connecting external peripherals. The Type-C port can be used to connect additional displays. The port supports power delivery support, so you can charge the laptop on the go with your smartphone’s power bank. The device also has an HDMI port for easy connectivity to a TV or projector. There is even a SD card slot for photographers to transfer media from a camera.
The laptop comes with an HD web camera located on the top display bezel. It also has a physical shutter mechanism for added privacy. Wi-Fi 6 is used for wireless connectivity. Wired network connectivity is possible using the Dell USB-C Mobile Adaptor, which needs to be purchased separately.
The Dell Inspiron 15 5578 comes with a full-sized backlit keyboard. Dell says the keys are 6.4 per cent larger than the older model, allowing you to have a more comfortable typing experience. They provide 1.3 mm of travel, ensuring good feedback with every keypress. The keys offer two levels of backlighting, controllable using function keys. The multi-touch trackpad is also large with a smooth surface for smooth navigation.
The laptop ships with the latest Windows 11 Home OS, bringing in tons of new features. The device comes pre-installed with Microsoft Office Home and Student 2021, giving you access to software like Word, Excel, PowerPoint and more, at no extra fee.
