This laptop is better in the long run, due to better upgradability and the screen is superior. The Inspirons...


Thanks for everything! :)
 


It will perform poorly in editing, and rendering, plus it has limited upgrades, the keyboard sucks, and it has a poor screen and soldered battery. Do Not Buy IT.
 


I won't do much editing or rendering if any. Do you have a better recommendation?

This laptop is better in the long run, due to better upgradability and the screen is superior. The Inspirons keyboard is very very very spongy and doesnt feel real, plus the trackpad on it is too sensitive.
