In terms of specs, this configuration benefits from a seventh-generation quad-core 2.5GHz Intel Core i5-7300HQ CPU, a discrete Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050Ti video card (with 4GB of memory), 8GB of RAM, a 256GB solid-state drive, Bluetooth 4.2, 802.11b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi support, front-firing speakers, and a built-in subwoofer.
As for the 15.6-inch display, it features a full HD resolution of 1,920 by 1,080, LED backlighting, and an anti-glare coating. And thanks to the HDMI 2.0 port on the side, you can hook up nearly any modern television or PC monitor for a big-screen experience.
When you're playing a modern game on a laptop, giving your CPU and GPU a good workout, you're bound to generate some serious heat. Unfortunately, that can make long gaming sessions pretty uncomfortable. To help mitigate this issue, the Inspiron 15 7000 offers huge fans and rear-facing vents designed to manage the heat under a heavy load.
Windows 10 Home (64-bit) comes installed by default, and that's very good news from a gaming perspective. Right out of the box, you'll have access to DirectX 12, Xbox One game streaming, game DVR, and cross-play support for select titles.
While it's a bit bulky, the six-cell 74WHr battery, full-size keyboard, and gorgeous HD display more than make up for the size. In fact, it even ranked as PCMag's best gaming laptop of CES 2017. It doesn't pack the same level of horsepower as a maxed-out Alienware, but the price-performance ratio here is outstanding.
