14″ Dell Inspiron i3452-602BLK Laptop via Amazon
Dell Inspiron i3452-602BLK is a 14 inch very low priced budget laptop with a low end sixth generation dual core Intel Celeron N3050 processor at 1.6 to 2.16GHz speeds with turbo boost (no hyper threading) and entry level specs like modest 2GB DDR3L SDRAM for some multitasking efficiency for basic tasks and 32GB eMMC Flash drive (small storage but much faster), the latest Windows 10 operating system with great new features and Office 365 Personal included for 1 year from the date of activation.
It has a 14 inch LED backlit display with 1366 x 768 pixel resolution and Braswell Intel HD graphics for daily simple multimedia work- no heavy gaming or complex multimedia editing and the regular HD resolution of the screen is fine thanks to the small size of display and there won’t be much pixellation like it were the standard 15.6 inch. Black Inspiron 3452 is quite a compact laptop that is only 0.8 inch thick (measurements of 13.58 x 0.84 x 9.75 inches) and with just a little under 4 pounds of weight it doesn’t include a DVD Drive (many of the current laptops don’t come with it as most things are found online these days). And despite its very little price it comes with a USB 3.0 port along with 2 x USB 2.0 ports, and HDMI 1.4a output to view the content on your laptop screen directly on your HDTV, 802.11bgn wireless, Bluetooth 4.0 to connect to other Bluetooth enabled peripherals wirelessly, Media Card Reader (SD, SDHC, SDXC), a Security lock, a Power adapter port and a Headphone output.
Celeron N3050 was released in quarter 2 of 2015 and with a benchmark score of 820 you really can’t expect too much from it and the memory is only 2GB and what you’re looking at is a basic but efficient system for performing your daily tasks. So the keyboard is obviously not backlit and has no numeric pad due to size restrictions but the keys are nicely spaced out for your comfy typing experience and we can see a reasonable size touchpad without the left and right clicks and has a standard lithium ion battery and thanks to the Thermal Design Power of just 6 watts of the CPU and integrated GPU you can expect decent battery life but we don’t have the exact figure just yet (power efficiency is greatly improved on this Celeron CPU than the previous generations and the overall performance is a bit better with the better utilisation of the processor). Another advantage of having such low TDP and the lack of a mechanical drive is that the unit can be cooled efficiently without needing noisy fans. There won’t be any performance issues with Microsoft Word and Excel, light gaming, surfing the net, streaming videos, viewing photos but as you can imagine you really can’t play the latest demanding games at all and can’t run very complex software on it as there will be delays and freezing.
