The Dell Inspiron with a Snapdragon processor offers a compelling combination of decent CPU performance, all-day battery life, and a sleek design at an affordable price. While the graphics processing capabilities remain a limitation, the laptop shines in its overall performance and value proposition.
We’ve yet to be impressed by a Snapdragon laptop in the graphics processing department, but this new model from Dell shows where the platform can shine: it provides decent CPU results, and a screen that’s nice enough but struggles with a restricted colour gamut, but with battery life that will go all day and more. It’s well built, runs smoothly, and the low price tag means it’s going to be attractive to a lot of people.
The screen is a non-touch IPS with a 16:10 aspect ratio and a resolution just north of 1080p. It’s nothing special, in other words, but works well enough that this doesn’t really matter. It’s fine for viewing just about anything, and 60Hz is enough for streaming and even 2D games. When exposed to the horror of our colourimeter test, the Inspiron came up a little wanting, showing us only 63% of sRGB, 49% ofRGB, and 48% of DCI-P3.
We use the PugetBench for Creators benchmarking suite to test the system's ability to run several key tasks in Photoshop and DaVinci Resolve Studio, as well as its performance when encoding/transcoding video.The eight-core Snapdragon is currently the lowest end of the Qualcomm PC repertoire, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth looking at.
