huge laptop batteries<\/a>, but with the current trend of thinner-and-lighter, battery size often takes a backseat. With a laptop this size, which isn\u2019t likely to be used for regular or extended travel, that might not be such a big deal.<\/p>\nDell says this particular configuration of its Inspiron 17 is good for up to 7 hours, 25 minutes, which is a decent runtime for a notebook of any size. Unfortunately, in our 4K video rundown test we only achieved roughly 4.8 hours, or 293 minutes. That\u2019s still respectable for a notebook that might be moved from room to room, and it will certainly get you through a movie or two on a long flight\u2014of course, whether this notebook would even fit on a tray table is a different story.<\/p>\n
For everyday work, this Inspiron handles itself just fine. At the heart of everything is an Intel Core i7-6500U, a Skylake CPU with two cores and Hyper-Threading that runs at 2.5GHz stock and can boost to 3.1GHz. It\u2019s paired with 16GB of DDR4 memory, and graphics power is provided by a discrete Nvidia GTX 940MX module that has a tiny 64-bit memory bus and 384 shader cores. It\u2019s a low-end part that\u2019s only useful for light gaming, but it still offers a lot more muscle than integrated graphics.<\/p>\n
Overall the Inspiron 7000 package is quite effective, though it\u2019s questionable whether a 2-in-1 format makes sense on a device this size. Still, it\u2019s nice to have that as an option.\u00a0For daily desktop tasks it\u2019s certainly fast enough. With its SSD and Skylake CPU, we never experienced any slowdowns, and the keyboard and trackpad are excellent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
