Now this is my deal in sprung 3000 laptop.

When I purchased it last week, it was the cheapest laptop Del had for sale on their site, costing just £149 down from £199 in a sale.

It's also the very laptop I took on my recent holiday on one I used every evening for a few hours spanning four nights.

Although back to £199 here in the UK and well, currently out of stock in the US I wanted to review it because it shares some much with other budget laptops at this price point in that it features a jewel course seller on any 306 so CPU, four gigs of RAM and a standard 500 gigabyte hard drive.

It also has a bun to installed a version of the Linux operating system.

But I've been using it with both this and Windows 10 and I'll be talking about my experience with both.

So what's it like living with Dell's cheapest inspire on?

Well, let's find out, starting with the design and this laptop features a simple yet sleek black finish and features and HTM aiport to USB to port one USB three ports and a media card reader around the outside.

It also comes with a DVD R W drive.

A nice bonus considering a lot of portable devices have dropped this feature.

This is accompanied by a 15.6 inch 13 66 by 768 screen that looks a little washed out, but it's no better or worse than other £200 or dollar laptops I've tested in the past.

The spill resistant and nicely spaced out keyboard feels comfortable to use on the individual keys feel.

Perhaps a little spongy, though I had no problem typing on this machine during my prolonged the usage.

Firing it up for the first time, I was greeted by the unfamiliar You ban to interface that in all honesty was a pleasure to use and pretty easy to get used to.

Even if you're a complete novice, chromium browser and labor office software comes pre installed think Google Chrome and Microsoft Office software on both friend flawlessly on this machine, it's just a cz well, because its Web browsing and creating documents that this system is best suited to.

Given its specs.

The battery lasted around 6 to 7 hours during a constant basic usage test compiled of Web browsing and watching a few videos as a new planting machine.

It gets the job done no more, no less.

But the drivers are all natively available from Dale should you want to switch to Windows, which doesn't run as smoothly.

But let's talk about that now.

Making perfect usage of the DVD R W drive here, I inserted my Windows 10 disc within the hour.

I had everything set up and ready to go with Microsoft's latest operating system addition.

Windows is a little more taxing on this cellar on CBU.

But once again, navigating to a couple of my favorite sites felt quick enough, though occasionally I did encounter some stutter.

Sticking is opening up a couple of programs at any given time is your best bet, and I can't imagine the target basic use of straining this thing too much at this point.

No, I'd have to say this machine feels best on a bun, too, on its with that you'd get the most pleasant experience to get an idea of raw processing power around the sinner Bench AR 15 multi corps test, which got 72 points.

If you want a comparison, it has similar processing power to a Pentium 2160 or a 2180 desktop CPU from late 2006 or 2000 and seven.

Just like with any other modern seller on Jul Cause onboard Intel graphics are also included and clocked at 320 megahertz.

This means that any of you gamers out there could probably get away with playing older and less intensive games.

But more demanding older titles like GT A San Andreas here will still struggle to run with 30 frames.

But second, I averaged between 20 and 30 at 7 20 p.

Once again, though, the battery life lasted between six and seven hours on Windows 10.

Even with half a hour of GT a San Andreas gameplay included, I mentioned at the start.

This laptop isn't all too common outside the UK, but like many others at the price point, it features a seller on drill core process, Sir, that is fine for basic usage of their really benefits from an alternative operating system like a bun, too.

Ultimately, this inspire on 3000 is no better nor worse in performance than other sub £200 offerings, though it certainly has a better build quality and battery life than a lot of the competition.

And if you live in the U.

K like May that it would be a great treat choice if you can get it from DEL £149 in their next sale.

Just like with the desktop market, though, you would have no problem finding something a couple of years older, with much more power at the same price on used or refurbished marketplaces.

So bear that in mind if you have a smaller budget but want to make your money go as far as possible.

I actually reviewed a cheap Lenovo laptop a while back with same CPU on less RAM, and that felt a little snappier, perhaps because of the fast to drive.

It was also cheaper but featured a much smaller display, though I'd still recommend that over this if portability is more important to you than screen size.

Either way, the next laptop I review will be one from a slightly higher yet still reasonable price points to get an idea of how much or how little spending a tiny bit extra affects the end users performance experience.

So there we have it.
