This Dell Inspiron 15 seems like your typically budget laptop at first: 15.6-inch screen, simple black ABS plastic design, and a smattering of ports. Your first clue that this thing is an outright steal at $479 is in its processor, the Core i5-3337U. Based on the Ivy Bridge platform, this new-for-2013 chip clocks between 1.7GHz and 2.7GHz, offering most of the performance of pricier Core i5 models at a Core i3 price.
