Pros and Cons

Dell Inspiron 13 5310

Strengths

Dell Inspiron 13 5310 has a good overall design and premium feeling, with a combination of metal and plastic that's not bad at all.
The device is surprisingly well-designed for its price point, with tight tolerances and quality materials used.
A notable feature is the small bezels, which feel great relative to other laptops from a couple years ago.
Dell Inspiron 13 5310 has an Intel Core processor, 16GB of RAM, 512GB of storage, and an NVIDIA MX 450M processor, making it suitable for general use, gaming, and productivity.
The device has real ports, including an HDMI port, two USB-C ports, and a dedicated USB-A port with a pop-out mechanism.
The keyboard is relatively good, with squishier keys that offer a lot of travel, although some users may find the lack of resistance or tactile feedback disappointing.

Weaknesses

Some users may not like the power button and fingerprint combo located in the top right corner of the keyboard.
The fingerprint sensor is significantly worse than other premium devices.
The trackpad has limited space to click on, requiring users to click midway down instead of the top right corner.
Some users may find the fan noise annoying, although it's not too loud.
Integrated graphics might not be ideal for high-end video editing or 4K workloads.
The price point is north of $1000 at MSRP, making it less accessible to some buyers.

Dell Vostro 15 7510

Strengths

The laptop looks super sleek with its all-aluminum design, weighing only 1.9 kilos and having a profile of 19 millimeters.
It passed 15 military-grade tests, showing great structural integrity.
The input devices are great, with two USB Type-A, HDMI 2.0, Thunderbolt 4 connector, and an SD card reader.
The laptop has two RAM SODIMM slots as well as 2 M.2 slots for storage, with one slot supporting 30mm drives and the other supporting 4th generation SSDs.
The display is a 1080p IPS panel with comfortable viewing angles, good contrast ratio, and excellent color coverage of 91% sRGB.
It's great to see that Dell went for 45 watts Tiger Lake processors for this device, suggesting something interesting going on with the cooling solution.

Weaknesses

The battery life is disappointing, lasting only six hours of web browsing or about seven hours of video playback.
The top configuration can get hot during gaming, with the fans being really noisy and the temperature of the keyboard exceeding 50 degrees Celsius.
The thin chassis can't cope well with the load during gaming, making it difficult to play resource-intensive games.
The insulation layer between the motherboard and the keyboard is an issue that Dell needs to address in future models.
The cooling solution could be improved, especially when playing demanding games.
The laptop's temperature regulation is not ideal, which might cause discomfort during extended use.
