Pros and Cons

Dell Precision 15 3571

Strengths

The Dell Precision 15 3571 offers a significant upgrade over its predecessor, featuring H-series processors and up to RTX A2000 GPU.
The laptop has good build quality, despite being made predominantly of plastic with some hints of carbon.
The keyboard has decent key travel and fairly clicky feedback, making it a pleasure to type on.
The touchpad is enviously responsive, adding to the overall usability of the device.
The battery life is impressive, lasting up to 12 hours and 43 minutes of web browsing or 9 hours and 22 minutes of video playback.

Weaknesses

The laptop's cooling solution can lead to low core frequencies and performance in demanding workloads.
The display panels used by Dell are not ideal for color-sensitive work, with a limited sRGB color gamut and high average color deviation.
There is no option for additional mounting accessories in the box for users who want to add a 2.5-inch SATA drive.
The device's design is based on a previous model, which may make it feel less exciting or cutting-edge compared to other options.
The RTX A2000 GPU used in the laptop can be overkill for some users, potentially leading to unnecessary power consumption and heat generation.

Dell Inspiron 14 5425

Strengths

The step up from a 720p camera to a 1080p camera with 30 frames per second is nice to see.
Having an AMD Ryzen 5 5625U processor and eight gigabytes of ram installed is a good configuration.
The 256GB NVMe type SSD provides decent storage for the laptop.
Upgrading the memory from single-channel DDR4 3200 to dual-channel would be beneficial, especially with a larger storage upgrade.
The inclusion of an AMD Vega-based graphics core (Vega 7) is a good option in this mainstream 15-watt based laptop.

Weaknesses

The lack of a dual-populated RAM configuration at the lower end of the memory scale may be limiting for some users.
The single DDDR4 3200 module installed as standard is only upgradable if going for 16 gigs or higher, which is not ideal for those who want to upgrade sooner.
The graphics are based on the AMD Vega architecture (Vega 7), rather than the newer RDNA2-based GPU found in other laptops like the Rembrandt chips.
The bios is up to date for December 21st, 2021, but there might be updates available after this review is written.
The laptop does not offer a configuration with more RAM and storage as desired by the reviewer.
