Dell Inspiron 15 5000 5567 / i5567 15.6″ Laptop (7th Gen Intel Core, Optional Touch)

The Dell Inspiron 15 5000 5567 / i5567 is an middle-of-the-road 15.6-inch laptop for home & home office users. This traditional notebook isn’t convertible, but optionally it can include a touchscreen display.

The laptop features plastic casing and completely new design with more rounded edges than its precursors. The keyboard deck sports a gray brushed-metal-like finish, while the display lid is plain gray. The display is available with either 1366×768-pixel resolution or sharper 1920×1080 Full HD. There’s no info on IPS technology, so we can assume the Inspiron 5567 uses older TN panels with narrower viewing angles than IPS. Touchscreen option is available on select configurations with Full HD displays. Also, keyboard backlight is optional.

Inside, the Dell Inspiron 15 5000 5567 / i5567 carries the latest computing technology in form of the 7th Generation Intel Core “Kaby Lake” processors. Available CPU choices are the lower-mid-range Intel Core i3-7100U, mid-range Core i5-7200U, and upper-mid-range i7-7500U. All of these chips are sufficient for the everyday home and office tasks. They provide great performance for duties like web browsing, working on Microsoft Office documents, and media playback. As a stand out feature, the 7th Gen Intel Core chips have very optimized Ultra HD 4K video decoding, ensuring completely smooth 4K playback without draining too much battery power. The i5 and i7 offer more computing power than the i3, so they can be recommended for more intensive tasks like editing video and high-resolution photos or music production. Gaming on Dell’s 5567 / i5567 relies on the basic Intel HD 620 integrated graphics as the default option. This means decent performance for older game titles and indie games, but the latest AAA blockbusters need dedicated GPUs. For that purpose, Dell has provided an AMD Radeon R7 M445 4GB dedicated graphics choice. It is a lower-mid-range video card, but still far better than the HD 620. Generally, you should be able to play AAA titles on it, but with lowered graphics detail settings and resolution. As for system memory, the laptop uses DDR4 type with a capacity of either 8GB or 16GB. Both sizes are big enough for comfortable multitasking in all everyday computing scenarios. The only data storage option currently available is a 1-Terabyte hard disk drive, with ample of space for program installations and user files.
