Question by True_Brit: What laptop have I just purchased from Dell outlet, I can’t find out anything about it?
Hi. I just purchased a laptop from the Dell outlet, dells own ‘factory shop’ through which they sell stuff with cosmetic imperfections. The bit of research before I paid for it told me that from the Inspiron 15R name it should be good. But I decided to do a bit of post purchase research to properly find out what I had got. This turned up a problem, I can’t find another laptop like mine anywhere, not even on dells website. Can you help me work out what I have got?
The laptop I got is described as an “Inspiron 15R – N5010″, which led me to believe it is an Inspiron 15R as seen here: http://www.dell.com/uk/p/inspiron-r/pd
But that laptop does not have anywhere near the same specification as mine, in fact the graphics on that is nVidia whilst on mine it is ATI.
The picture of my laptop matches the picture of the Inspiron 15, but yet again the specs are completely different. http://www.dell.com/uk/p/inspiron-15-n5030/pd
A quick google got me a bit closer. PCWorld sell something similar, but it has a lower spec graphics card, less RAM and looks different http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/dell-inspiron-n5010-black-laptop-08702322-pdt.html
here is the spec for mine:
# Inspiron 15R – N5010
# Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium (64 BIT)
# Intel i5-480M(2.66GHz) Mobile CPU
# Hard Drive : 640GB Serial ATA (5400RPM)
# 6 GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM 1333MHZ (2 DIMMs)
# Optical Drive : 8X DVD+/-RW Drive
# Display 15.6in HD (1366X768) WLED with TrueLife
# ATI Mobility Radeon HD5650, 128-Bit, 1GB, DDR3 64Mx16x8pcs
Does anyone know what I have just let myself in for?
many thanks

Nah, close but no cigar. different amounts of RAM, different CPU, completely different graphics and a smaller hard drive.
Thanks.
Yeah. I tried customising the dell laptops I mentioned on their website, but could not get the same thing.
Do you recon I am getting something more like the 15 or 15R ?
Hmm. None of the suggestions really match. Looks like it will be a 15R with a slightly odd spec. Only cost £430.
