Why would you breathe easier with a new laptop? Well, in the case of the new line up of Dell Inspirons, it’s cause the line up comes with a smaller carbon footprint than ever. The new line up uses more recycled materials than before and is one of the culminations of Dell’s commitment to creating a circular economy when it comes to their products. Every Inspiron is painted using paints with low volatile organic compound content. Also, the packaging of the Inspirons is comprised of 90% recycled materials with the packaging tray being completely made of recycled materials.
With their carbon footprint in check, Dell took the next step to completely redesign the new line up of Inspiron laptops. The new laptops come with a near-borderless display and a new design language that builds on Dell’s prowess in creating compact, slim, stylish laptops. The new line up comes with larger keycaps which allow you to type faster and more accurately and a larger touchpad. The new line up also comes with an HD webcam equipped with Temporal Noise Reduction (TNR) which reduces pixelation and reduces visual artefacting in low lit conditions.
Dell Inspiron 14 & 15
The Dell Inspiron line up is being spearheaded by the Dell Inspiron 14 & 15. As the name suggests, these Inspirons have pretty much the outlook but come in two form factors – 14-inch and 15-inch. Keeping the ethos of previous Inspirons, the new 14 and 15 keep things minimalistic, simple and functional.
That said, the new design also comes with improved thermals for better cool. The new adaptive thermals also help manage power consumption to ensure your PC is running at maximum performance. The laptops also come with a sensor that detects when the lid is opened and immediately boots the PC. Paired with the optional Windows Hello enabled fingerprint sensor, you’ll be logging into your PC faster than ever. Working on the go shouldn’t be an issue with the Inspiron 14 and 15 with ExpressCharge which gives you 80% of battery life in just 60 minutes of charge.
If adaptability and flexibility is more for you, the Inspiron 14 also comes in a 2-in-1 configuration which brings added versatility. You’ll be able to flip into tablet mode, present in tent mode or even work on the touch enabled screen exclusively in stand mode.
Dell Inspiron 16 Plus
This year, the Inspiron line up gets a creator-focused entry with the Inspiron 16 Plus. The larger, more power-packed edition of the Inspiron brings a larger, 16-inch display for added workspace and visual real estate. It also comes in a cinematic 16:10 aspect ratio. That said, it’s not much larger than its smaller siblings; coming in at only 5% larger. However, it has an active screen area that’s 11% larger.
The Inspiron 16 Plus comes with the latest Intel Core H-series processors for better performance and can be paired with NVIDIA GTX or RTX discreet graphics processors for added umph. It also comes equipped with a more robust thermal solution for better cooling of the power packed specifications. The display on the Inspiron 16 Plus is a 3K display with true to life colours and low blue light emissions.
The latest line up of Inspiron laptops come with the latest, 11th Generation Intel Core processors or AMD’s Ryzen 5000 U series processors. These can be paired with a variety of graphics options to suit any need.
