45ALTERNATIVELY... DELL INSPIRON 5000
Nobody ever impressed anyone in a seminar by pulling out a Dell laptop...
but if you need something that will run full-on desktop apps and doesn’t
cost a fortune, you can’t go wrong with the Inspiron 5000 series. They’re
available in various sizes with plenty of spec options.

If we’re being really
picky, the bezels around
the Spin 713’s 13.5in
touchscreen are a bit
on the wide side, but
it’s a pretty slick design
and hardly looks
old-fashioned.

One area that’s easy
to overlook with cheaper
laptops is the keyboard,
but the 713’s backlit
QWERTY feels like
something you’ve spent
a bit more cash on, as
does the trackpad.Whole slotta love
As well as that handy
HDMI output, you also
get two USB-C slots,
one bigger USB 3 slot,
a headphone port and
even a microSD card
reader, so it’s fully
socketed up.
