Additionally, keep in mind that the RJ-45 port supports up to 100 Mbps only as it is not a Gigabit Ethernet port. With Intel's latest 12th-gen Alder Lake CPUs, our testing proved that this laptop can chew through just about any non-gaming workload, and it's not too bad at those either (within reason, of course).

The temperature difference can be as high as 7 C between the hot and cool spots when just idling on desktop. Ryzen 5 2500U or Ryzen 7 2700U SKUs are also available to supplement the Intel SKUs while also providing faster graphics performance. At 92% the size of a standard laptop keyboard, your fingers will be pleased with the Mini 10’s new keyboard with curved keys for a comfortable fit. Dell monitors fit your needs and budget, offering productive ways to work, proven reliability, and advanced monitor technologies.

CPU performance is slightly slower than expected due to the processor's tendency to throttle in the Inspiron. While most black laptops have white printing, the gray-on-gray keys and letters hrtr can be difficult to see even with the backlight activated depending on the ambient lighting. Helps keep your system up-to-date and running efficiently through automated fixes for common configuration issues.Gliding very slowly results in a small amount of sticking which we don't find to be bothersome in practice. There is light-moderate uneven backlight bleeding along the edges of our screen as shown by the picture below.

Lastly, be sure to think about how much storage space you'll need: if you plan to use cloud storage (like Google Drive) for your files, you probably won't need to splash out on a 1TB or larger drive for your laptop. Your laptop will be naturally at risk of scuffs and scratches with it being a device that's moved around a lot but there's no better way to protect your laptop than with XtremeSkins.

The Inspiron series itself is further divided into the budget Inspiron 3000, mid-range Inspiron 5000, and higher-end Inspiron 7000 families.Keep battery life in mind, too - if you're going to be bereft of access to a wall outlet for long periods, you'll definitely want something with all-day battery longevity. Luckily, the current generation of Intel processors proves that we're currently in a golden age of CPUs that deliver excellent performance without costing the world - thanks for that, Intel.
