What is it?
A powerful feature rich laptop from Dell.
Good points?
The Dell Inspiron 15 5570 packs a lot of punch for its price tag with an eighth generation Intel Core i7 processor to speed through multiple tasks.
Its 16GB RAM gives running applications immediate access to lots of fast memory and an AMD Radeon 530 graphics card which provides multimedia and video-gaming bliss.
These components combined with a 256GB Solid State Drive, 2TB Hard Disk and full 15.6" HD display should make the laptop future-proof and prevent the owner needing an upgrade within the next five years.
Dell's hardware has a proven track record of stability and the latest Inspiron 15 range continues this trend with quality components that function well together.

The accompanying Windows 10 operating system continues to impress and with the Cortana assistant built-in, there is no end to the jobs you can get done.
Bad points?
The only negative aspect of the laptop is the occasional sudden burst of activity from the cooling fan which can be annoying when all you want is to work in silence.
Best for ...
Anyone looking to upgrade their home or business laptop to something that will last. Those familiar with slow and lagging computers will experience a new lease of life when their laptop boots up immediately.
Avoid if ...
Heavy duty multi-tasking is a bit beyond your requirements as there are less expensive models out there capable of web browsing and the occasional spreadsheet work.
Score: 9/10.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
