While Dell makes many laptops, choosing the right one can be a little bit of a minefield.

What is Inspiron?

Dell Inspiron 15 3000

It’s where you’ll find the widest variety of laptops on offer.

3000 series

This is where you’ll find the lowest-cost, value-oriented, entry-level laptops from Dell.

They might have low prices, but they still deliver a compelling user experience.

It comes in a few different colors and has now shifted to AMD-based hardware.

It’s light, inexpensive, and performant enough for schoolwork and general productivity.

The tradeoff is a higher price, although the cost of the rig is still very low.

5000 series

The 5000 series sits precisely where you’d expect it to right in the middle.

The 13-inch model only comes as a notebook, while the other sizes can be had as both.

Currently, the 7000 series is the best place to look for a convertible 2-in-1 laptop.

The best 7000-series equipment for most people will likely be the Dell Inspiron 16 2-in-1 7620.

The higher the number, the higher the spec, and the average price.

But by approaching each knowing what you’re looking for, choosing a laptop will be much easier.

Everyone else has the 5000 series right in the middle, and that’s the best place to start.
