The beauty of the front fuselage is further projected by the traditional “DELL” logo designed with black color while at the back fuselage. There is the “Inspiron” crest for easy identification of the brand. At the base of this laptop, there are two horizontal pads along the length which is meant to raise the base of the laptop a little so as to create an allowance for heat to be dissipated via the cooling holes at the base. They also give the system balance and create a solid cohesion between the base of the laptop and the surface on which it is placed thus it cannot easily slip off the table.

Processor Performance Testing

To test the performance of the processor, we used CineBench R15 software. It got a final single-threaded score of 140cb and a multi-threaded score of 670cb. The multi-threaded score was surprising because it surpassed the i7-8550U results.  We ran the multi-threaded test again and detected that four cores are at running on the highest frequency of 3.4GHz and that’s why its multi-threaded score can reach 670cb.

We kept the frequency of the core at 3.4GHz and tested the CPU- Z Benchmark. We got a single-threaded score of 1701, and a multi-threaded of 7155. The final score was 13324. In both tests, the multi-threaded results of this laptop’s processor are higher than that of i7-8550U and very close to i7-7700HQ.

The temperature control of this laptop is very good. Upon usage, it achieved a maximum temperature of 48.5 degrees. Most of the heat was concentrated on the sides of the laptop while the mid-keyboard regions accumulated very minimal temperature. On the rear, the maximum temperature was also concentrated at the sides and the central region was relatively cool. This means that you can use this laptop on your laps without problems.

Battery Life

The Dell Inspiron 15 7570 uses a 42Wh built-in lithium polymer battery. To test the battery performance, we used a power balanced mode, set the notebook brightness at 50%, volume at 20%, turned off all background software and initiated a continuous video playback on 1080P. After an hour, we had a total of 19% power consumption and this implies that a continuous playback of high-definition video on this notebook can reach 5 hours.

  1. Hi, enjoyed reading the early review. I just have two questions about the touchpad. I was wondering if the touchpad had a rough texture or if it had a smooth texture? And does it physically click when you press the left and right click buttons?

    • The laptop comes with a matte screen, but i think the screen should be has matte and glossy options. It is depend on your choice.
