    How many nits is the screen? cant seem to find it

    • [Deactivated] on 24/06/2020 - 12:10

      It’s not shown anywhere on their website either: https://www.dell.com/en-au/shop/dell-laptops/new-inspiron-15…. Note it’s the intel version on their website but other components should be similar.

      If they’re planning on hiding it from spec page I’m expecting a typical brightness of 250nits

      According to the specs for the US model, its either 300 nits 72% NTSC (good) or 220 nits 45% NTSC (crap). I would expect the 220 nit variant, since they don't say which.

      I'd be more concerned about the APU using shared graphics memory and only having single channel memory mode (one stick of RAM). This would perform significantly better in games etc if it was even just switched to 2x4GB. Adding an extra 8GB stick would make this thing perform really well.

    HDMI 1.4 is a ridiculous flaw for a laptop in 2020 though.

    Wow, apparently the Ryzen 5 4500U is two times more powerful than the i7-4770MQ, of which was inside a laptop that I paid for over $3k 6 years ago. Just not sure how the graphics card holds up against a dedicated one.

        • anam on 24/06/2020 - 14:43

          Hi, sorry question from a technologically challenged person here.

          Just on graphic performance, what would the AMD shared graphic be comparable to?
          It is on similar performance level to Gtx1050ti, Gtx1650 or more like mx230?

      • awesomise on 24/06/2020 - 17:14

        No, what I'm saying is that this laptop is two times more powerful than a $3k laptop I bought years ago, yet only costs 1/3 of its price. The only thing between my wallet and this thing is that I'm not sure how the integrated graphics card performs, more specifically using for 3D CAD.

      and it adds six trillion times faster than the golden abacus Pharaoh Ku'kesh bought 3,000 years ago for five tonnes of grain

      • lew380 on 25/06/2020 - 10:47

        5 tons of wheat is about $1500 aus, so I would say that this is a good deal, cheaper than the ku'kesh and significantly better FPS in most games

      180w is insane for this business range laptop and I also noticed that it over 1.7kg which is a little bit heavy.

      • zrmx on 24/06/2020 - 12:28

        They aren't the same. The Inspiron 5505 seems very new, there aren't any product page up yet on Dell for sales, but its support page is up.

      Lenovo Ideapad Slims have Wifi 6 and at least a 300nit IPS screen whereas this one has a TN panel

      I had a love hate relationship with my 2013 Macbook Air with a TN panel. It was too dim for casual use and had to live like Batman for the screen to be eligible.

      • Gazpacho on 24/06/2020 - 12:45
        +1

        Is Wifi 6 vs Wifi 5 noticeable in everyday usage?

        P.s. please send my regards to Alfred

        • [Deactivated] on 24/06/2020 - 12:53

          Unless all your devices are running Wifi 6 chips inside, yes.

          People say it's not noticeable and it'll take years before you can take advantage of it.

          Quite frankly if everyone buys new Wifi 5 devices we'll never get there, so its good to prepare for the future now rather than later.

      • dazzsser on 24/06/2020 - 12:50

        can you explain the differences between IPS and TN, in terms of real life usage. I am tossing up between both and I am having a hard time deciding. Is the TN panel actually that bad?

        • [Deactivated] on 24/06/2020 - 12:58
          +1

          TN panels have terrible viewing angles. However, if you're at a dim coffee shop and don't want other people glancing at your work, this should be fine.

          I wouldn't recommend it for business use if your work requires you to share your screen to someone on the side.

    • provagent on 24/06/2020 - 21:49

      For what it's worth, we ordered an Ideapad Slim 5 15" three days ago and just got notification it has shipped from Shanghai. Due in Perth July 10th, via Sydney. Bit annoyed we didn't get offered the 100% SRGB screen and 70Wh battery options they have in Germany but all part of the Australia Tax, I guess.

  • zrmx on 24/06/2020 - 12:16

    While the spec seems great, but considering the height/thickness of the device, and it's the budget line of Dell, thermal solution for this Inspiron is more than likely to be very underwhelming and likely throttle heavier workloads. It's not too bad, but just have realistic expectations.

    Found the service manual of the US model, should be fairly universal: https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/us/en/19/inspiron-15-55…

    There are two 2280 M.2 NVMe slots, no 2.5" SATA slot.

    Only 1 heat pipe, that's very disappointing (worse than Acer Swift?ok just checked, the Acer Swift also only have one heatpipe): https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/us/en/19/inspiron-15-55…

    • Gazpacho on 24/06/2020 - 12:34

      Cheers for the insight - would you say that it would therefore underperform compared to similar spec laptops with better cooling? What about in everyday workloads?

      • zrmx on 24/06/2020 - 14:15

        It'll be fine for general/everyday workloads as long as they don't require prolonged performance (e.g. video editing, rendering, heavy gaming etc).

        At the moment, we don't know what material is the bottom chassis of the Inspiron 5505. It likely is plastic, but if it is metal and if you don't mind the chassis being used as a heat sink and be a bit warm, you can mod with adding thermal pad to the heatpipe and connect with the chassis. Similar to how it's done here to a Acer Swift 3 with a Ryzen 7 4700U (https://youtu.be/awPI4RzKMvY?t=392 the review is in Chinese, but the video is quite self explanatory).

        The thermal solution looks very similar to an Acer Swift 3, while the Swift does throttles over time, but it's still sufficient for everyday use. I'd expect the Inspiron to be similar.

  • JZXc on 24/06/2020 - 12:32

    Is the ryzen 7 4500U and Radeon onboard graphics on this thing capable for video editing?

    • shellshocked on 24/06/2020 - 12:41

      The 4500U is a 6 core CPU and video editing would be no issue. You could go for the 4700u
      if you need more power. The 4500u is faster than some 10th gen i7.

      https://www.techspot.com/review/2045-amd-ryzen-4500u/

      • JZXc on 24/06/2020 - 13:02

        My concern is do they need a decent gpu card for video editing? And this is the TN panel right? 😅thank you

        • zrmx on 24/06/2020 - 14:23
          +1

          Depends on whether the video editing software relies more on CPU or GPU. If you rely on GPU rendering for your videos, I think you'd already have some idea what machines you'll be looking at. Otherwise, the Ryzen 4000 U series are fine for casual rendering.

          However, yes you've brought up a good point, the type of panel technology isn't as important as the colour gamut the display has. As confirmed above, it is a 45% NTSC gamut panel, which is very undesirable (to say the least) for any type of graphics work.`

  • SetsunaFSeiei on 24/06/2020 - 12:33

  • Toddtian on 24/06/2020 - 12:44

  • arbok on 24/06/2020 - 12:46
    +4

    The 8gb ram looks like it’s 1 stick of 8gb ram not 2x4gb ram. This is fine if you upgrade to 2x 8gb sticks.

    But I’m pretty sure the advertised 3200mhz ram is only at that speed if it’s dual channel. Thus, the ram will work only at half this speed. This is important if you play a lot of games as the games will run slower in single channel ram with ryzen Vega graphics.

    So if you buy this I highly recommend finding another stick of 8gb SODIMM ram and running this in dual channel.

    Also it’s a shame they don’t have the 4800U option and only the 4700U. 4800U has 8c/16t and better Vega graphics. Also I’d take the 4700U option over the 4500U for the price difference.

    • Gazpacho on 24/06/2020 - 12:49

      Thanks mate that's super helpful - any recommendation for a good stick?

      Its fine. I currently have a 220 nits laptop and it works well for everything. Even in sunlight. Unless you like sharing your laptop from multiple angles then it might not be as clear.
