A Thunderbolt 3 port is notably absent, which is disappointing at this price. Two USB 3.1 Type-A ports join an audio jack on the Inspiron's right edge. There's no volume rocker for use in tablet mode, but on the system's left side you'll find HDMI and USB 3.1 Type-C ports, along with a microSD card slot and the AC adapter connector. (The HP Envy x360 15 is a tad lighter, at 4.53 pounds.) In other words, it's way too heavy to hold in midair in tablet mode you'll put it in your lap or on a desk to do any sketching or scribbling. The matte-black Dell measures 0.74 by 14.1 by 9.8 inches, matching the HP Spectre x360 15 AMOLED (0.76 by 14.2 by 9.8 inches), and it weighs about the same, at 4.8 pounds. Flex is minimal if you grasp the screen corners, though there's some if you mash the keyboard. It's the nicest niche or pen garage I've seen in years of reviewing convertibles, and it doesn't seem to make the 2-in-1's aluminum construction any less sturdy. The pen is accessible in all four screen positions or modes, and won't fall out even if you fold the system into tablet mode and carry it upside down. Read Our HP Envy x360 15 (15M-DR0012DX) ReviewĪs with its 13.3-inch sibling, the most eye-catching thing about the Inspiron isn't its thin-bezel screen design or the chrome strip around the touchpad-it's the trough carved into the exposed hinge between the screen and keyboard, which magnetically holds the supplied Dell Active Pen. Like all big-screen hybrids, it's heavy and ungainly in tablet mode, but it has a lot to offer if you're looking for a capable desktop replacement that can flip and fold for a presentation or touch-screen kiosk duty.īy "fully loaded," I mean that my Windows 10 Home test unit came with a 1.8GHz (4.6GHz turbo) Core i7-8565U processor, 16GB of memory, a 512GB solid-state drive juiced with 32GB of Intel Optane cache, and a 4K (3,840-by-2,160-pixel) touch display backed by Nvidia GeForce MX250 graphics. The Inspi2-in-1 Black Edition ($1,499.99) is a fully loaded 15.6-inch convertible that, except for its larger screen, more or less matches the recently reviewed Inspi2-in-1 Black Edition.
"Black Edition" may sound like a luxury car or men's cologne, but it's an appendix to Dell's Inspiron brand-it designates the best and fanciest Inspiron models, positioned just below the company's XPS showpieces.
