HP 15

The HP 15 dy24nr is a laptop that falls short of expectations given its price point. With a lackluster unboxing experience, mediocre build quality, and notable omissions such as a backlight keyboard, it's clear that cost-cutting measures were taken to reach the desired price tag. Despite having an i5 1135G7 processor, eight gigabytes of RAM, and a Wi-Fi six card, the laptop's shortcomings in other areas make it hard to recommend for its supposed list price of around $650. This review will delve into the specifics of what makes this laptop less than ideal.

Dell Vostro 15 3510

Dell's Vostro series has long been positioned as a budget-friendly alternative to the Latitude line, catering to home users and occasional office workers. However, with the latest 15-3510 model, I believe Dell is attempting to blur these lines, potentially misleading customers into thinking it's a viable business device. In this review, I'll examine whether the Vostro 15-3510 truly lives up to its intentions or if it's simply a cheap laptop masquerading as something more.
