Dell Inspiron 15 3510

The Dell Inspiron 15 3510 is a budget-friendly laptop that offers decent performance for casual users. With its Celeron processor and 1366x768 display, it's not the most impressive device in its class. However, its price point of under £300 makes it an attractive option for those on a tight budget. But how does it hold up against other similarly priced laptops? In this review, we'll explore whether the Dell Inspiron 15 3510 is a good value for money or if there are better options available in the same price range.

Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2

The Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 is an exercise in compromise, aiming to strike a balance between affordability and feature-rich performance. While it boasts a beautiful 13.3-inch display, its processor has been dialed back from the original, and features like the fingerprint scanner and world-facing camera have been omitted. The addition of fans and a larger battery cell improve battery life, but at what cost? With its mid-range pricing and impressive competitors in the market, does this Chromebook find the sweet spot between value and quality?
