Dell Vostro 15 7510 review
The Dell Dell Vostro 15 7510 ranks as the #538 laptops globally, achieving a LibraScore of 70. Across all metrics, this product stands out most for its #315-ranked performance among 249 laptops. Consider the Dell Inspiron 15 5505 or Dell G7 15, which offer higher scores while staying in the same price range.
Is it Worth it?
The Dell Vostro 1575-T is an intriguing laptop that checks many boxes, but its shortcomings hold it back from being truly excellent. While its sleek design and great input devices are definite positives, the cooling system struggles during gaming, leading to loud fans and a scorching hot keyboard. Additionally, battery life falls short, lasting only six hours of web browsing or seven hours of video playback. Despite these issues, the laptop's capable Core i7-11800H and RTX 3050Ti configuration delivers smooth gaming performance at high settings. Overall, it's a decent machine with great design features, but its flaws make it hard to wholeheartedly recommend.
Build
The Dell Vostro 15 7510 boasts an impressive build quality, with its sleek all-aluminum design that weighs just 1.9 kilos and measures 19 millimeters in profile. The laptop passed 15 military-grade tests, demonstrating its structural integrity. The lid cleverly serves as a lever to lift the base off the ground, enhancing airflow to the fans. Input devices are also commendable, with ample ports including two USB-A, HDMI 2.0, Thunderbolt 4, and an SD card reader. The laptop's build quality is undoubtedly one of its strongest aspects, making it a solid investment for business users who value durability and style. For a superior build, Dell XPS 15 9520 could be the right choice.
Display
The display on the Dell Vostro 15 7510 is a highlight. The 1080p IPS panel offers comfortable viewing angles, good contrast ratio, and excellent color coverage of 91% sRGB. This results in a punchy image with accurate colors. In our gaming profile, it achieves standard matching color accuracy. One drawback is the battery life, which lasts only six hours of web browsing or about seven hours of video playback. The display's brightness adjustment also doesn't use PWM, making it ideal for long periods of use. Overall, the screen is a strong point in this device. A better alternative might be Dell Precision 15 3571, featuring a next-level display.
Performance
The Dell Vostro 15 7510's performance is impressive, with a Core i7-11800H processor and RTX 3050 Ti graphics card delivering capable results. In gaming tests, Shadow of the Tomb Raider ran at 70fps at high settings and 1080p resolution, while Ghost Recon Wildlands achieved 62fps at very high settings. However, the laptop's thin chassis struggled to cope with the load, leading to noisy fans and a keyboard temperature exceeding 50 degrees Celsius. Despite this, the Vostro 15 7510 remains a solid machine, particularly in productivity tasks where its performance is more than adequate. You may find Dell XPS 15 9500 a better fit, thanks to its superior performance.
Battery and Charging
The battery life of the Dell Vostro 15 7575 is a letdown, lasting around six hours of web browsing or seven hours of video playback. This falls short of meeting daily work needs. However, it's worth noting that the top configuration features a 45-watt Tiger Lake processor and an RTX 3050 Ti, which suggests some compromises were made to fit these powerful components into the slim chassis. Despite this, the laptop still manages to deliver decent gaming performance.
Connectivity
The Dell Vostro 15 7510 features an all-aluminum design with two USB Type-A ports, HDMI 2.0, Thunderbolt 4 connector, and an SD card reader. Internally, it offers two RAM slots and two M.2 slots for storage, providing ample connectivity options for business use. Dell XPS 15 9520 might be a smarter choice, offering an upgraded connectivity.

The laptop features two USB-A ports, HDMI 2.0, Thunderbolt 4, and an SD card reader. Inside, you'll find two RAM slots and two M.2 slots for storage, with one slot supporting 30mm drives and the other 80mm SSDs. A 1080p IPS panel offers comfortable viewing angles and excellent color coverage of 91% sRGB. For an improved features, Dell XPS 15 9520 is worth considering.
Support and Maintenance
The Dell Vostro 15 7510 offers great build quality with an all-aluminum design that passed 15 military-grade tests. However, the laptop's maintenance is a letdown.

A better cooling system would elevate this device to perfection.
