Dell Inspiron 15-7591 Intel Core i7 9750H 15.6 Inch FHD Display 3Gb Graphics Silver Laptop

The Dell Inspiron 15 7591 looks pretty standard for a 15-inch laptop. It's got a big footprint, it's thick, and it's on the heavier side. Remember, this isn't the type of machine that's meant to be ultra-light or ultra-slim. If you want the same machine but lighter, take a look at the 7590.The color is called Platinum Silver, and that about describes it. It's a silver aluminum laptop, which is pretty standard. The color won't dazzle anyone, but it still has the premium look and feel of an aluminum clamshell PC. The lid is stamped with a chrome Dell logo, giving it a little bit of flash.Dell also included a new drop-hinge design, which is meant to lift up the PC for better ventilation. That can mean a real boost in performance on a PC like this, as a 45W processor with dedicated graphics can get hot. It's also a really well-designed hinge. One thing I worried about was that it wouldn't be sturdy enough, but the drop-hinge design was something that I didn't even have to think about.Like any good mainstream laptop, it has a bunch of ports, and moreover, they're good ports. On the left side, there are two USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports, Thunderbolt 3, and HDMI 2.0. On the right, there's another USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A port, a 3.5mm combo audio jack, and a microSD slot.What I mean when I say that they're "good ports" is that the HDMI is 2.0 instead of 1.4, and the USB Type-C port is Thunderbolt 3 instead of USB 3.1 Gen 1. These are frequent sacrifices in mainstream laptops. HDMI 2.0 can power a 4K display. Thunderbolt 3 can power up to two 4K screens, or even an external GPU. It goes with the whole idea of expandability for this laptop. The ports give you access to a wide range of external peripherals here, and I'm really glad Dell didn't compromise there.There is a 4.5mm barrel charging port on the left side, which I could do without. Still, it comes with a 130W charger, and the only company that makes a 130W USB Type-C charger is, well, Dell. It requires proprietary technology though, so I can't hold it against the company to include the barrel charger.
