Powerful package within budget

Display and Design

 

The Dell Inspiron 15R 5521 flaunts a 15.6-inch HD LED backlit True Life display which flaunts a resolution of 1,366 x 768 pixels, and offers comfortable viewing experience compared to its counterparts. It is housed in a moon-silver colored body which looks extremely classic and elegant with rounded edges. The metallic lid has a greyish border whereas the sides are made of plastic. It has a thickness of 25.3mm and a weight of 2.3kg making it easily portable.

 

Processor and OS

 

Doing the duty under the hood is the energy efficient 1.8GHz Intel Core i5 3337U processor from the 3rd generation processor based on HM75 Express chipset. It is supported by 4GB DDR3 RAM expandable up to 8GB. The presence of 2GB AMD Radeon HD 8730M graphics card acts as a great boost for gamers who love to stay engrossed in high quality games. It runs on 64 bit Ubuntu OS which may be a bit unfamiliar for some people.

 

Camera, Storage and Multimedia

 

The Dell Inspiron 15R 5521 poses a 1MP webcam for video calling and 500GB SATA hard disk for your storage needs. It has a tray load DVD RW Drive that allows you to transfer data via disks but doesn't add to the thickness of the outfit. The stereo speakers powered by Waves MaxxAudio 4 deliver rich, loud and crisp sound.

 

Battery and Connectivity

 

Packed with a 6 cell Li-ion battery, the Dell Inspiron 15R 5521 can run continuously for up to 3 hours. Connectivity features include digital media reader, Ethernet port, WLAN, Bluetooth v4.0, 2 USB 2.0 slots, HDMI out and 2 USB 3.0 ports.
