Not convincing! The multimedia device froä Dell convinces with good system performance thanks to Kaby Lake and dedicated GPU. However, the poor display costs important points. We will find out which device gets the best scores in the individual review sections.

For the original German review, see here.

The Dell Inspiron 5000-series is primarily designed for private customers. The multimedia device combines the latest generation of Intel processors with a dedicated AMD graphics card in a 15-inch chassis. Dell charges 549 Euros (~$592) for the base model with an Intel Core i5-7200U, but no dedicated GPU. The latter is available in the SKU for 619 Euros (~$668), while our test sample is currently retailing for 719 Euros (~$776). It is equipped with an Intel Core i7-7500U, 8 GB RAM, and a 256 GB SSD. The graphics card has the designation AMD Radeon R7 M445 and is equipped with 4 GB GDDR5-RAM. The most expensive model right now costs 799 Euros (~$862). The additional 80 Euros (~$86) doubles RAM to 16 GB and includes a 2 TB hard drive. The latter is a conventional hard drive, so you will lose the performance advantage of the SSD from our test model. The screen is a 15.6-inch FHD panel, and there are currently no alternatives.
