On the inside, this model sports a sixth generation dual-core 2.5GHz Intel Core i7-6500U processor, a discrete AMD Radeon R5 M335 graphics card (with 4GB of memory), 8GB of DDR3L RAM (1600MHz), a 1TB 5400RPM hard drive, Bluetooth 4.0, and 802.11b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi support. As for the 17.3-inch display, it benefits from LED backlighting, an anti-glare coating, and a full HD resolution of 1920×1080.
While this doesn’t quite qualify as a gaming laptop, those specs make this machine capable of handling quite a few existing games. You’re definitely not going to get high-end performance, but there’s enough horsepower here to let you enjoy a nice chunk of your Steam library if you need to kill some time.
Unsurprisingly, this massive laptop isn’t exactly built for heavy travelers. It measures a little over an inch thick, weighs in at over sox pounds, and offers up to seven hours of battery life thanks to the four cell 40WHr integrated battery. However, it does serve as a solid desktop replacement with a very reasonable asking price. It has a full-size keyboard with a number pad, a large multitouch touch pad, an SD card reader, a USB 3.0 port, two USB 2.0 ports, and an HDMI 1.4a port for use with an external display.
Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) comes installed by default, but it also comes with a license for Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) at no additional cost. With the new Edge browser, the Xbox app for local game streaming, and the Cortana personal assistant, Redmond’s newest OS makes for a worthwhile upgrade. But Windows 7 will get security patches for the next few years, so you can hold off on upgrading if you’re still stuck with legacy software.
Normally, this configuration sells for $902.99, but Dell is selling it online for $899. Use coupon code “INSP$599” during the checkout process, and you’ll instantly save an additional 300 bucks. Sign up for Dell Advantage, and you’ll get two business day shipping for free to boot.
