Best for Home Use: Dell Inspiron 3511 (2022) ★★★☆☆ (Overall Rating)

This is among the latest offerings from Dell in their consumer line of laptops. This is an upgrade from last year’s Inspiron 3501, which featured 10th gen Intel Processors. This model comes with a different chassis from the previous year as Dell is trying to streamline the design of the new models. The specs are very good for the price. Dell Inpiron 3511 Design: The laptop comes in a Black Matte finish, which Dell calls Carbon Black. The body is mainly plastic, but the build quality is good. Dell claims that recycled plastic has been used in construction, but we are not sure what percentage has been utilized in this model.

CPU: It features the 11th gen Intel Core i3 1115G4, a low-tier brand offering. It has 2 cores & 4 threads and has a max frequency of 4.1Ghz but normally runs between 1.7-3.0 GHz.

RAM: It comes with 8GB of 3200Mhz DDR4 ram, which can be upgraded to 32GB as it has 2 RAM slots.

Storage: It comes with a 1 TB HDD backed by 256GB of extremely fast Nvme M.2 Solid State Drive. This dual setup of HDD & SSD is better than having just a single type of storage as you either compromise on speed or budget.

Display: The screen on this laptop is 15.6inch with a 1920x1080p resolution. It is not particularly bright, with a peak brightness of just 220nits.It comes with an anti-glare coating on top for higher visibility in harsh lighting conditions to overcome this issue.

Battery: The battery in this laptop is 41Wh, which is not good in this budget category. It provides an average run-time of 3-4 hours. The charging time is around 2 hours when charged with the 65w adapter.

Ports: The port selection is decent, with 3 USB-A, HDMI & SD card support which is great for photographers & videographers. The lack of USB type-C can discourage some users as USB-C is becoming the new standard.

Connectivity: It also features the latest connectivity, such as WIFI 5 & Bluetooth 5.0. The upcoming models might feature WIFI 6 & Bluetooth 5.2 for faster and more reliable connections.
