Pros and Cons

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.

Dell Inspiron 15 5505

Strengths

The laptop has a Ryzen 7 4700U processor, which is powerful for general use
The NVMe drive is fast, with sequential read and write speeds of up to 1572 MB/s
The fingerprint reader works well and makes it easy to unlock the computer
The backlit keyboard is nice and makes a huge difference in low light environments
Upgrading the laptop with an additional SSD (like the Samsung 970 Plus) can significantly improve performance

Weaknesses

The NVMe drive may be slower than expected, especially compared to high-end desktop drives
The keyboard backlight can be too bright in some cases and may cause issues seeing the keys in well-lit environments
The laptop's build material is unclear (aluminum or high-quality plastic?) and could be a concern for some users
The laptop's performance may not be as strong as expected, especially with only 8GB of RAM
The laptop's design may feel somewhat basic and uninspired compared to other options in the same price range
