SeekerDell Inspiron 13 5000
The Dell Inspiron 13 5000 tells you larger convertible laptops have truly entered the mainstream. It’s reasonably affordable, still looks good and has the roughly the same power as some laptops costing way over £1000. Down sides include that the screen isn’t as colourful as the best and that the casing is made of plastic rather than something fancy like aluminium or a magnesium alloy. Oddly enough, though, it actually fits in well among its more stylish peers.

The latest version of Dell’s Inspiron 13 5000 line is an intriguing product. It’s a laptop/tablet hybrid device with a touchscreen that’s attached via a 360-degree hinge that allows for it to be completely flipped around into a tablet-like form.

The Inspiron 13 5000 is available in three configurations here in the UK, with the entry-level £499 model including an Intel Core i3-6100U, 4GB of RAM and a 500GB hard disk. Next is the £649 model that moves to an Intel Core i5-6200U, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. Finally, is the £799 version that I’m reviewing, which has an Intel Core i7-6500U, 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. All three include the basic Intel HD Graphics 520.
