The Dell Inspiron I3542-6003BK<\/strong>, also known as I35425000BK, is a 15.6-inch laptop PC from the budget-oriented Inspiron 15 3000<\/a> series. But, it is not crippled too much in terms of specs, since it has a touchscreen and a good processor, all packed in a 1″ slim chassis made of black matte plastic. This is an important model, because it was one of the Best Buy Doorbuster Black Friday 2014 laptop offers. It was priced at only $299.99.<\/p>\n

Instead of the Intel Celeron and Pentium processors which are so common among low-cost notebooks and provide a basic performance, the I3542-6003BK \/ I35425000BK sports a mid range Intel Core i3-4030U dual-core CPU. While you’re doing the routine tasks such as surfing the web, using Microsoft Word or Excel, or streaming videos, you won’t notice big difference between the i3 and Pentiums. As soon as yo throw something more demanding on the laptop like 1080p video editing or high-res photo adjustments in Adobe Lightroom, the difference will be quite noticeable. The i3, however, isn’t a recommended choice if you do these tasks regularly. The i5 and i7 series chips are, especially the quad-core i7, which is multiple times faster than all other laptop CPUs.<\/p>\n

Another advantage the i3 provides over the cheaper Celeron and Pentium-based alternatives is the Intel HD 4400<\/a> series integrated graphics, instead of the Intel HD. Both are capable of playing non-demanding games such as League of Legends or Minecraft, but the HD 4400 adds support for the latest demanding titles on low settings and resolutions.<\/p>\n

While we are at visuals, let’s say the display is a classic 1366×768-pixel TN panel, so it doesn’t provide sharpness of Full HD panels, nor wide viewing angles of IPS displays.<\/p>\n

As for system memory size and hard drive data storage capacity, Dell’s I3542-6003BK \/ I35425000BK doesn’t stand out from the crowd. It has 4GB of RAM and a 500GB HDD. The RAM size is sufficient for all tasks an average user does on a Windows laptop. The hard disk could have been larger of course, since there’s always need for more space for music, movies, and other big files. If you’re on a budget, but want to store large music and movie libraries on your notebook, you can check out this non-touch Lenovo model<\/a>, with similarly capable CPU and double the storage space of 1 Terabyte. RAM \/ HDD upgrades are easy on this system, since you’ll have to remove only one Philips screw on the bottom of the casing tho access them.<\/p>\n

You can interact with Windows and programs via the touchscreen, keyboard with chiclet-style non-backlit buttons, and trackpad with integrated left and right click buttons. <\/p>\n

\"Dell<\/p>\n

The machine has a built-in DVD drive anda 720p webcam. For getting you online, used are Wi-Fi wireless and Ethernet LAN wired connections. Bluetooth is also included, as well as HDMI video output connector, three USB ports, a multiformat media card reader, and a combo headphone\/mic connectors. Overall, a well-rounded feature set.<\/p>\n

Dell claims the batter life on the I3542-6003BK \/ I35425000BK lasts 5.25 hours.<\/p>\n
