Inspiron 17
If you’re in the market for an affordable big-screen laptop, take a look at the 17.3-inch Inspiron 17 5000 series from Dell. With a Skylake CPU and a full HD display, this laptop is a steal when you use today’s coupon code.
Dell Inspiron 17On the inside, this model sports a sixth generation dual-core 2.5GHz Intel Core i7-6500U processor, a discrete AMD Radeon R5 M335 graphics card (with 4GB of memory), 8GB of DDR3L RAM (1600MHz), a 1TB 5400RPM hard drive, Bluetooth 4.0, and 802.11b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi support. As for the 17.3-inch display, it benefits from LED backlighting, an anti-glare coating, and a full HD resolution of 1920×1080.
Unsurprisingly, this massive laptop isn’t exactly built for heavy travelers. It measures over an inch thick, weighs in at over seven pounds, and offers up a four cell 40WHr integrated battery. However, it does serve as a solid desktop replacement with a very reasonable asking price. It has a full-size keyboard with a number pad, a large multitouch touch pad, three USB ports, and an HDMI 1.4a port for use with an external display.
Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) comes installed by default, but it also comes with a license for Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) at no additional cost. With the new Edge browser, the Xbox app for local game streaming, and the Cortana personal assistant, Redmond’s newest OS makes for a worthwhile upgrade. But Windows 7 will get security patches for the next few years, so you can hold off on upgrading if you’re still stuck with legacy software.
Normally, this configuration sells for $902.99, but Dell is selling it online for $899. And when you use coupon code “LAPTOP649” during the checkout process, you’ll instantly save an additional 250 bucks. Sign up for Dell Advantage, and you’ll get free two-day shipping to boot.
