The Dell Inspiron 15 7559 is a budget-oriented laptop aimed at gamers who want to play the latest titles on the go. Let's see what this sub-$800 system can do.

In our web browsing benchmark, the Dell Inspiron 15 7559 lasted 5 hours and 48 minutes. Compared to the similarly configured MSI GS30 Shadow, this is quite an improvement for a gaming notebook.

I did countless hours of research! I compared the i7 6700hq (the one in this laptop) with the i7 6500u and found the 6700hq seems to perform better. I then moved on to the GPU, comparing other options, and found this one having the 4gb or GPU RAM to be the best bah for buck.

I bought this laptop for my nephew to learn 3d animation (modeling, rendering, editing) and it works great. The hardware its more powerfull than we excpected. Surprise to us, the dedicated graphic card is tested and certified by the makers of Maya 2016 software.

My son is slowly taking over my PS4 so I purchased this so I could be in the same room with him but still do some work and play my own games. Have tried the new MMO Black Desert Online, TheGolfClub, Divinity Original Sin and Elder Scrolls Skyrim and they all ran smoothly, and quietly.
