INTRODUCTION

Dell Inspiron 15 3580

If you are looking for a light yet reasonably powered 8th gen an i3, i5, i7, or i9 laptop with a good GPU for games and it’s slightly more than 5 hours battery then this one will be for you.

Dell Vostro 15 3580

This model also available in 14 inches but this one will be better. This laptop has many more features that all are will be useful for the future. Everything is good enough in this laptop for the price and it will also come under your budget.

DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION:

Dell Inspiron 15 3580

Design-wise, Dell hasn’t changed much in this one. I can still get the same polycarbonate plastic body which does get smudgy. It’s not the lightest as well, you get 2.2 8 kg when it comes to weight. You do need both hands to open the screen is quite rigid. what I don’t like is the big old frame around the screen.

Dell Vostro 15 3580

This thin and light laptop weighs under 2.3 kilograms making it ideal for people on the go. Dell doesn’t change that much in the design but the keypad and touchpad is more good to use than the older ones which are a good thing in design. Now also, it is fully made of plastic or polycarbonate material.

DISPLAY QUALITY:

Dell Inspiron 15 3580

It does have a full HD TN panel with below-average viewing angles but for the refresh rate, there is okay for games and not too demanding. It is also available for 768p at a cheap price. It does lack a saturation vibrance vector, so not one of my favorite screens which is exactly why it’s not ideal for outdoor situations. If you are into detail press printing and looking for the most color-accurate screen, then this isn’t the right screen for you but if you use Photoshop for web and do casual graphics work then that does not require color accuracy then you shall be fine with it.

Dell Vostro 15 3580

The Dell Vostro laptop has a 15-inch LED-backlit HD display with anti-glare technology offering an immersive viewing experience for watching movies and videos. It comes in two options of the display which are HD and FHD, both are good enough for the price. 

FEATURES:

Dell Inspiron 15 3580

It has a full HD 1920 by 1080 TN panel with SSD or without SSD. Then, you get up to 1 terabyte hard base storage and an upgradeable 4 GB RAM. You have all essential ports to your disposal including an SD card reader, old USB 2, and DVD Drive on the right side, and two USB 3.1, HDMI, Ethernet on the left side of the laptop. With a 1 terabyte hard drive option, it is more than enough to store data or games for most people.

We get a full keyboard that is not backlit and has a decent key spacing though. Keys do feel a bit shallow but there is good tactile feedback to it. Gladly, the touchpad feels just right and accurate, you get a precision touchpad for day-to-day tasks with good accuracy four times and you don’t have the mouse handy with you. The texture runs the keyboard is neat but I have experienced it naturally fades out over a period of time. You get sounding speakers with a very average webcam too.

The thermal management is good on this laptop. Fan is not the quietest and mostly audible. It does work fine keeping the temperature at optimal near around 43 degrees at idle or low workloads.

Dell Vostro 15 3580

The laptop has two USB 3.1 ports, one USB 2.0 port, one HDMI port, one combination audio and microphone port, one Ethernet port, and one VGA port for easy connectivity. This laptop comes with an AC adapter included in the box.

It also has some useful features like a fingerprint sensor which will be useful and there is no need to enter the password again and again. The placement of the fan is also in a good place which works well even though you use the laptop in an area where air blocks may happen. Also, this laptop is like a future-proof laptop means you can expand or update many things if you want to like RAM, SSD, HDD, NVMe card, etc,.

CPU OPTIONS:

Dell Inspiron 15 3580

You do have two options in the CPU processor in the Dell Inspiron 3580. The first one is an Intel Celeron 4205U processor and another one is Intel Pentium Gold 5405U Processor with a 2 MB cache and 1.8 to 2.3 clock speed. You can choose any one of the processor options according to your usage, works, and budget. 

Dell Vostro 15 3580

The eighth-generation Intel Core i3 or i5 or i7 processor is sufficient for browsing and daily use. The 8 MB cache allows you to access frequently used apps faster. You do have options of 4 MB and 6 MB of cache but 8 MB will be better. The Dell Vostro laptop comes pre-installed with the Ubuntu operating system. It usually performs on 1.6 GHz but it can go up to 3.9 GHz and even for hardcore programs, it will be better.

GPU OPTIONS:

Dell Inspiron 15 3580

Since this has a dedicated Intel UHD 620 Graphics video card, therefore I tried call of duty which on high settings was giving me around 20 to 22 fps but dropping shadows texture and effects from high to medium took the FPS to a reasonably playing range of around 40 to 45 fps that does apply to 49 and GTA 2. You don’t have any other GPU options in any other variants of this model, every variant of this model has only Intel UHD 620 Graphics. 

Initially, I had some issues trying to get my video card to work properly which was easily resolved once I had the drivers downloaded from the official Dell website.

Dell Vostro 15 3580

The laptop features 4GB DDR4 RAM with intel UHD 620 graphics that allows you to switch easily between applications. The Dell laptop has one terabyte of hard disk space which is sufficient to hold all your videos, movies, and photos. This laptop is also available in other graphics, AMD Radeon which is also good for gaming and highly video editing purposes.

BATTERY:

Dell Inspiron 15 3580

In the box, you get a 65-watt charger, the battery will give you between 4 or 5 hours on medium usage with mix up video, surfing, and office. The Dell Inspiron 3580 has a 3-cell battery with 42 WHr capacity which more than enough for this price range.

Dell Vostro 15 3580

It comes with a 42 watt-hour lithium-ion battery that provides a battery backup of up to 6 hours. The charging time when the laptop is off will be around 3 to 4 hours. It does also have a 3 cell battery which is way good than other laptops that use 2 cell battery.

WHICH TO BUY?

If you’re not too keen to get an accurate screen and can adjust to a plastic body then the Dell Inspiron 3580 is coming at a reasonable budget along with decent battery life, lots of ports, and upgrade options. For the price it retails, Dell Vostro 15 3580 performs very well. In my opinion, if you need a basic laptop just for some casual works then, Inspiron 3580 is better or if you want to use a laptop for lots of things and for hardcore programs then Dell Vostro 15 3580 is definitely good.
