Benefits
– As mentioned above the 17.3 inches Full HD display delivers a great viewing experience and is perfect for watching media or playing your favorite game
– Talking about gaming the AMD Radeon 530 graphics card has 4 GB of dedicated memory which allows it to handle most modern games quite easily
– Comes with a powerful Intel Core i7 processor
– The hybrid hard drive setup that includes a 1 TB SATA and 128 GB SSD delivers both performance and a large volume of storage space
– At 2.2 KG it is quite light for a full-sized 17.3-inch laptop model
– Many newer laptops only included 1 or 2 newer USB 3.0 ports but you will find 3 available here
Downsides
– The keyboard is not backlit which may seem like a minor detail but for some is a very important feature to have
– While we love the hybrid drive setup it would have been nice to see a bit larger SSD vs the smaller 128 GB that is included
– Battery life is well behind what some of the other models are offering with only up to 6 hours possible on a single charge
– With only 8 GB of memory available it isn’t as high end as other gaming laptops that are available
Verdict
The Dell Inspiron 17 5770 DM1R8 is more an everyday computer that has the capability to play most games due to the decent graphics card but isn’t what we would consider a gaming laptop.
