In January, the Dell Inspiron 13 5000, the first notebook to arrive in Brazil with processors 11th Generation Intel Core Tiger Lake and integrated graphics cards intel iris xe. The model bets on a beautiful look and portability, but without sacrificing an interesting performance for everyday applications. 54d58
Intel has kindly sent a copy of the Dell Inspiron 13 5000 to showmetech and, after a few days of use, here's our review complete about the device
Design 145g70
The Dell notebook impresses from the start, either because of its compact size or because of the beautiful look. The notebook comes in silver color and has the Dell logo mirrored on the front. Its construction is made entirely with aluminum and a rubberized layer near the opening and closing fold of the screen to the model on the surface.
The notebook follows the line of ultrathin and is really one of the thinnest and most portable models that this writer has had the opportunity to test. O Inspiron 13 5000 it has a 13 inch (33 centimeters) screen with thin edges, weighs about 1 kg and has the following dimensions: 1,59 x 30,6 x 20,3 cm.
The model's housing is solid and does not show any signs of fragility, however, as it is a very thin model, I believe that it takes a more delicate way on the part of the consumer when handling the device. The infamous fingerprints or sweat marks on the notebook's surface were also not noticed, which I like a lot.
The keyboard is a pleasant surprise. The format follows the ABNT2 standard, the keys are soft and backlit in two intensities, just press FN + F5, which the can choose a lighter mode and a stronger white mode and there is no option to change the coloring. This function is great for those who work in the dark or with low lighting and adds a touch of elegance to the Dell Inspiron 13 5000.
O mousepad It's compact and doesn't have any innovations, but it has a good tactile response. The notebook body still has the power button inserted into the keyboard area with a fingerprint sensor to enter Windows, which works instantly and has no problems. Next to there is a webcam 720p, which unfortunately does not have any “on and off” camera function to increase privacy.
In of connectivity, the Dell Inspiron 13 5000 has:
- Micro SD card reader;
- p3 audio jack for phone and microphone;
- 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1;
- 1x USB Type-C;
- power connector;
- and 1x HDMI 2.0.
It is evident the absence of an Ethernet cable connector for those who like to use the notebook always connected to the cable and sometimes guarantee a faster connection.
The back of the Dell Inspiron 13 5000 is very simple, with just two grilles for heat dissipation and two speakers at the ends. These speakers aren't bad, but they're not a big deal either. The big problem here is the heating.
Due to its construction, there is only one heatsink on the back and not on the sides. This means that when using the Dell Inspiron 13 5000 on your lap, there is a great release of heat even in low intensity moments due to the internal components, such as watching a series on Prime Video, which does not demand much performance. In addition, during the tests, it is noticeable that the notebook emits louder noises due to its ventilation.
In the delivery of the product, Intel's dedication was commendable, sending a beautiful blue box, a letter to the editor, charger and a mousepad with induction charging.
Fabric 3c653a
O Dell Inspiron 13 5000 it is certainly approved in of design and when we talk about the screen it is also no different. The model has a 13,3 inches (about 34 centimeters) in resolution Full HD (1920×1080 pixels) of 300 nits. The is of the type WVA, very similar to IPS technology. IPS reduces color distortion by viewing from different angles, that is, that difference in colors when looking at a screen from the sides, from above or below, does not happen here.
It is necessary to claim the quality of the Dell Inspiron 13 5000 screen. Watching movies, series and editing is very pleasant with a as vibrant and calibrated as this one. The notebook maintains excellent contrast, with expressive and vivid colors, sharp and sharp black tones.
To be honest, watching my series on this notebook was an even more intense experience than watching it on my 32-inch TV. Although the proposals and technologies are different, this gives a great highlight to the Dell model.
Battery 554u5p
A battery is one of the points that left me most divided about the Dell Inspiron 13 5000. The notebook stays on between 3 and 4 hours of use a little more intense, as is normal for a 4 cell battery and 53 Wh. However, the official website reveals that 1 hour of charging leads to 80% battery, but in practice I felt that this process takes a little longer.
Battery life isn't exactly a big issue for me, as I always have an outlet on the side, but it can be a hindrance for those who intend to move the device a lot. It should be noted that the duration of this component is also influenced by the way s use it, therefore, it is a data that may vary from person to person.
The charging of the model is done by a simple energy charger, without big news or frills.
System 2u6f5q
Internally, the highlight of the Dell Inspiron 13 5000 is its processor. The model is the first notebook that arrived in Brazil with the 11th Generation Intel Core Tiger Lake. The new generation, as always, promised greater autonomy and performance for the Us.
In this specific case, we tested the Intel Core i5-1135G7, a quad-core com 8 threads (2,4GHz up to 4,2GHz from Boost) that does well for your proposal. The model has a lower performance precisely because of the design of the Dell Inspiron 13 5000. Ultrathin notebooks like this have low voltage processors, as they cannot heat up as much and consequently inhibit them from achieving better results. However, that's not to say the i5-1135G7 is bad. In everyday tasks, the notebook does very well, without any crashes.
The generation Tiger lake also brings an important addition: Intel integrated graphics Iris Xé, which promised higher performance than when compared to Intel Integrated Graphics from past. Indeed this new GPU has interesting results, but we will comment on this topic in the performance section.
On the storage side, we have a simple 256 GB SSD, and the RAM part was an unpleasant surprise for me. The model has 8 GB LPDDR4x at 4267 MHz soldered directly to the motherboard and no option to expand. So, if you are one of those who are thinking about buying another 8 GB stick in the future, it is good to rethink your choice.
Storage 225u60
As expected, the Dell Inspiron 13 5000 arrives in this version with only 256 GB of storage with a PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD, and I must confess that this model is not the fastest I've ever had. If we were to rank this M.2 is a little slower than others samples, but that doesn't mean it's actually bad, just that there are others that are a little better.
At the end of the day, the will have very fast loads and won't be angry waiting for their applications to open or for Windows to start. In tests carried out with the Boot Racer we can see that the SSD does the trick and will offer a good experience.
Performance 58a2u
O Dell Inspiron 13 5000 it is excellent in everyday use, but during our tests we wanted to see how the model behaved when playing some games. Our choices were CSGO, Rocket League, Fortnite and Warframe. The tests were performed in HD (1280×720) and Full HD (1920×1080) resolutions in low quality.
CSGO 613464
One of the most popular shooters today also got its free version and was a parameter for our tests. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive did well in HD resolution. Low quality gameplay stays between 60 and 70 frames without major problems, but if we try to force the bar and go up to Full HD the situation still remains playable at 40/50 frames, but without the fluidity of before.
Warframe 5c2h2b
Warframe is one of the most popular free games on Steam and, in addition to its fame, it is well known for its good optimization on computers. in our benchmarks the game runs unstable and it is in this game that we see the first and main limitation of the Dell Inspiron 13 5000: low RAM and the sharing between VRAM memory. This lack of memory generates annoying crashes and the low performance of the processor drives the problem, overloading it.
To be quite honest, it's "playable". We have a gameplay on low in HD at 50 frames usually and in Full HD around 35. Both resolutions suffer from this problem of memories and don't let the game be the best example of fluidity.
Fortnite 1s191r
Fortnite is the biggest phenomenon today and as updates come out, it gets heavier and heavier on PCs. Epic's flagship is surprising: a gameplay still with the stutters coming from the RAM + U combo, but facing HD close to 60 frames. In Full HD this stability is not so good, but it drops to around 40 fps.
Rocket League 5w1eu
Rocket League simply did not open during our tests and when it opened it generated bad gameplay, with many crashes and poor quality. Because of this we won't even assemble a chart as usual.
Verdict 62424m
We need to get the chips on the table: the Dell Inspiron 13 5000 has not been announced or is being marketed as a hardware for games. On the contrary, Dell emphasizes that this notebook was made for everyday use, watching movies, working, etc. Therefore, we cannot penalize you for not running games in a good way.
Intel Iris Xé, which for me is the great highlight of this 11th Generation, has not yet managed to show its full potential, precisely because of the limited performance of the processor and the scarcity of RAM, but the first impression was positive. In future notebook designs, which are not focused on portability and have a more performing U, the graphics card should do much better.
synthetic tests 634x2u
We also carried out some synthetic tests on the main software available to stress the Intel Core i5-1135G7 and its integrated board. In these benchmark, the higher the number of points, the higher the performance of the card and U.
3DMARK 342810
O 3DMARK is one of the main tools for carrying out synthetic tests and touching the ability of the Dell Inspiron 13 5000. The first test performed was the Time spy, an apartment by the bay, for its easy access, free parking, and larger space for our group of XNUMX people. The house was great for a large group like ours, the host was very attentive, and the location was excellent; it was quiet and quick to walk to the old town. benchmarking using DirectX12 with functions such as multi-adaptation and multi threading with render at 2560x1440p resolution. GPU tests seek to measure the graphics card's ability to handle shadow particles, tessellation, volumetric lighting, etc. Processor testing demonstrates the demand for computational physics processing and other simulations.
The second test is aimed at PCs with integrated graphics, Night raid, and tests dynamic reflections, ambient occlusion, post-processing effects, tessellation, depth of field, procedural generation, physics, etc.
PCMARK 10 721r26
O PCMARK has the great advantage of testing everyday applications, such as rendering images and videos, using a browser, playing videos, creating spreadsheets, video conferences, etc.
Cinebench 1x2t6n
Tests of CINEBENCH serve to put the processor or video card under maximum load when rendering complex scenes and scenarios. We only had the option of benchmarks of the processor, since we don't have a dedicated GPU. The tests put the 4 processor cores, and later only one main core to render a realistic scene with anti-aliasing, reflections, lighting, shadows and several other effects that make up about 2000 objects.
Price and availability 1s705x
O Dell Inspiron 13 5000 is found byand already analyzed by Showmetech - Galaxy book s (each with their own particularities, of course).
Conclusion 60664y
Although the Dell Inspiron 13 5000 not exactly a performance masterpiece and failing to allow memory expansion, the notebook provides a great experience during everyday use and will not disappoint those who want a good machine to work with. The comfort of the keys to the excellent display makes the model great for typing and watching movies.
Its portability and look are two other very important points and definitely also raise the note of this device. The Dell Inspiron 13 5000 positions itself very well among ultra-thin notebooks and should be a good buy for quite some time for those who – fortunately – can afford the cost.
