Dell Inspiron 15 7000 7569 / i7569, 7579 / i7579 15.6″ 2-in-1 Laptop with Higher-End Specs

The Dell Inspiron 15 7000 7569 / i7569, 7579 / i7579 is a convertible 2-in-1 laptop with a full-size 15.6-inch display, excellent performance, and all the necessary laptop features in a premium-class package.

There are two actual SKUs – the 7569 and 7579 (the i7569 and i7579 are simply SKUs for identical laptops sold in retail stores as opposed to those sold directly by Dell). Otherwise identical laptops, the 7569 / i7569 is based on the 6th Generation Intel Core processors, whereas the 7579 / i7579 is powered by the latest 7th Generation with slightly improved performance.

The centerpiece of the Dell Inspiron 7569 / i7569 / 7579 / i7579 is the 15.6″ multi-touch screen with sharp Full HD 1920×1080-pixel resolution and IPS technology for ultimately wide viewing angles. It’s mounted on a pair of hinges that allow the display to bend back a full 360 degrees. It enables you to use the device in presentation, tent or tablet modes, besides the standard laptop mode.

The laptop sports brushed aluminum finish on the display lid and keyboard deck, while the bottom is made of black plastics. This model is quite portable for a full-size notebook. It weighs in at 4.8 pounds and is 0.8″ thick.

Processor options include the 6th Gen Intel Core i5-6200U (review) and i7-6500U, as well as their 7th Gen conterparts – the i5-7200U and i7-7500U. The i5 and i7 the typical mainstream notebook dual-core chips with the i7 offering a bit better performance for those who regularly throw demanding audio / video / photo production tasks on their systems. The 6th Gen CPUs feature the Intel HD 520 integrated graphics (review), while the 7th Gen chips incorporate the almost identical HD 620. The HD 520 and 620 aren’t gaming GPUs but still are capable of running many famous game titles like Counter Strike or League of Legends. You won’t be having any problems with running many browser tabs or apps simultaneously, since the 7569 / 7579 series is equipped with at least 8GB of RAM. Another option is 12GB. As a side note, the laptop uses DDR4-type 2,133MHz RAM for a tiny performance improvement over the previous-gen DDR3. For internal data storage, it boasts a snappy solid state drive with either 256GB or 512GB capacity.

The list of attractive features doesn’t end here. The Dell Inspiron 7569 / i7569 / 7579 / i7579 has a backlit keyboard and a new USB-C type port. The rest of the specs sheet is pretty much a standard one. Included are stereo speakers, a web camera, full-size USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports, 802.11AC wireless network interface, HDMI display connector, an SD media card reader, combo audio in / out port, and Bluetooth.

The included battery has a capacity of 42 WHr, which is among medium-sized batteries in this notebook category. The machine is claimed to last “up to 8.25 hours” on a single battery charge, but you should take this estimation with a grain of salt. That result is probably achieved with very little computing activity and lowered display brightness.
