New dell Inspiron or Asus??

[dan_7_]

I can't seem to decide between these two laptops, especially them being the same price. The dell seems like it has more bang for the buck having a graphics card with 4gb and being ddr5, but the Asus has the i7 and a lighter weight.... I need opinions on which you believe would be a better package over all.

it really depends of what you are going to do,if you want better gaming experience go for dell and save 300$

 

[yimmi]

i mean save 300$ buying the asus if you dont care so much about gaming

They are both the same price. However, the Dell has better specs since it has a quad core i5-6300HQ CPU vs a dual core i7-6500u and a more powerful GTX 960m GPU vs a GTX 950m.

I didn't even realize that the Asus was a dual core hah, thanks!

How are Dell laptop build quality now days?

I have heard no problems with Dell laptop quality.

I too am interested in the Dell Inspiron i7559, but I might buy it from Dell instead of Amazon since it comes with a 1TB hard drive for the same price. I will likely replace it with a 1TB SSD and use the 1TB HDD as external storage.

Ive heard there is already an extra m.2 slot for an ssd? So just add another one in with the 256g one?

 

[jaguarskx]

Yeah, it has a m.2 slot. So...

The plan is for a 2.5" 1TB SSD (2TB SSD if I really, really, want to splurge) and a 512GB mSATA SSD to be added later since that is the max capacity for mSATA.

Sounds like a pretty sweet set up! I'm not sure if I would ever need that much space haha, but I am going to consider getting more than 256gb obviously. This is good information that I didn't really know about, so thanks!
