The Dell Inspiron I3565-A453BLK-PUS is an affordable Windows 10 laptop with a standard-size 15.6-inch display. Unlike many budget notebook models which are based on quite slow Intel Celeron or AMD E1-series processors, the Inspiron I3565-A453BLK-PUS comes with a decent AMD A6-9200 dual-core CPU. The A6-9200 is a lower-mid-range processor. It’s comparable to the more popular Intel Pentium chips. As such, it suitable for the routine home and office computing – web browsing, work in MS Office programs, movie playback, etc. The CPU with its AMD Radeon R4 integrated graphics also provides some basic gaming capabilities. The I3565-A453BLK-PUS has 4GB of RAM memory, which is a minimal size by today’s PC standards. Nevertheless, 4GB is enough for moderate multitasking with a couple of programs running at the same time. As for storage, the included 500GB hard drive (HDD) is the most basic storage device for modern notebooks. It lacks speed of newer SSD-type storage, but 500GB capacity is a satisfactory size for saving reasonable amount of documents, pictures, and even some larger files like Full HD movies.

As a budget laptop, the Dell Inspiron I3565-A453BLK-PUS provides an entry-level HD 1366×768 display with narrow “TN” viewing angles. The notebook features a black plastic chassis and lacks backlight beneath the keyboard keys. A positive fact is the laptop’s light weight of 5.1 pounds, as well as a quite slim profile of 0.9″.

The provided 4-cell battery has a mediocre capacity of 40 WHr. Since the AMD A6 CPU is among power efficient ones with its 10W power consumption, you can expect a decent battery life. Based on specs of the laptop, one can assume the battery life is up to around 5 hours with normal use.

  1. Question

    Michael

    Would increasing the ram from 4Gb to 16Gb improve speed or would I be better off changing the HD to SSD?

    • Dan

      I always recommend upgrading from HDD to SSD as the first choice, since it brings a big improvement in overall user experience of everyday computing, but in your case the RAM size is very low for today’s standards. You could be fine with 4GB of RAM if you don’t use multiple programs and web browser tabs at the same time. But, as soon as you exceed 4GB due to multi-tasking, the performance hit can be severe.
