The PC is more than just a piece of technology - it's a gateway to your passions, your work, your play and who you are. Nothing brings you closer to the things that matter than our new Inspiron series, featuring a lineup that empowers the freedom of expression, connection, and communication with a whole lot of style. Redesigned from the ground up, our new Inspiron devices pack all the latest PC innovations that Dell has to offer to keep you connected to what matters most, adapting to your learn- or work-from-anywhere lifestyle. Minimalist, modern designs and new elemental colors inspired by nature not only complement how you work but how you live.

This isn't the Inspiron your parents remember - it's made to handle everything from connecting with friends and family for virtual happy hour, keeping up with current events in online forums to editing your latest blog entry and binging your favorite show. It comes stacked with a top-notch visual experience and Dell Mobile Connect, a feature that seamlessly connects your Android or iOS device to the PC, so you never miss a text or call. What's more, the new lineup delivers on Dell's promise to be environmentally conscious.



One hundred percent of your Inspiron laptop's painted parts use low volatile organic compound (VOC) waterborne paint. The packaging tray for all Inspiron laptops are made from 100% recycled paper, while other packaging components are comprised of up to 90% recycled materials.

The nearly borderless display, expansive keyboard, larger keycaps and spacious touchpad make it easier for viewing and smoother to navigate your content. To ensure you look your best while streaming online, we included an HD webcam in the new line up with Temporal Noise Reduction (TNR) hardware solution for quality video streaming that lets you look your very best by reducing pixilation and eliminating visual noise even in low-lit environments. Paired with the finely tuned microphone, you'll come through crisp and clear to family and friends.

Inspiron 13, 14 & 15
Choose the laptop that's right for you. Every Inspiron from the 13-inch to 15-inch features easy-to-use technology that simplifies your life, including:

Adaptive thermals to manage power consumption to keep your PC running at its best.
Lid-open sensor and optional fingerprint reader with Windows Hello allows you to securely turn on, boot-up and log-in quickly - or resume what you're doing in a snap with Modern Standby.

ExpressCharge recharges your battery up to 80% in 60 minutes, so you won't have to worry about staying plugged into an outlet.

Inspiron 16 Plus
For creators who value screen size for work and play, the expansive Inspiron 16 Plus offers a new 16.0-inch form factor, with a 16:10 aspect ratio that increases the active area of the screen by 11% while only expanding the dimensions of the device by 5%.

What makes it a Plus device? It's packed with everything you need to give you dynamic performance to power all your big ideas—coming soon with the latest Intel Core H-series processors, optional NVIDIA GTX or RTX discrete graphics, and a robust thermal management system.

Get brilliant visuals with the 3K resolution panel and ComfortView Plus display which includes an always-on, built-in solution that reduces harmful blue light emissions without sacrificing true-to-life colors, so you can create and consume content over extended viewing periods.

Inspiron 14 2-in-1
No matter where you go, how you prefer to watch shows or get work done, the Inspiron 14 2-in-1 offers the ultimate versatility in form factor. We've combined the functionality of a laptop with the portability of a tablet, enabling you to easily switch between laptop, tent, stand and tablet mode, and providing the flexibility to stay connected throughout.

The stunning 14" Full HD touch display delivers an incredible viewing experience that allow you to lean back to enjoy content from any angle.

No matter which configuration you choose, all Inspirons will be coming soon with the latest 11th Gen Intel Core or AMD Ryzen 5000 U-Series Mobile Processors and offer a variety of graphics options, so you can work productively, enjoy uninterrupted entertainment, and never miss a beat online.

...optional NVIDIA GTX or RTX discrete graphics, and a robust thermal management system.
I wonder if it will have a vapour chamber. HP ENVY seems like Dell Inspiron (compared HP Z to XPS) and it already uses that better cooling solution accross their configs. Last year XPS had the better cooling solution only on their top spec model 9700. It's a pitty because it doesn't look like a lower Inspiron line would have better options, than their top XPS line, idk. I would like to see what the laptop looks like.

There is. We have a few Ryzen Thinkpads. Sadly AMD can't really deliver chips. Intel still sits on 99% of this market. Why? Because they can deliver.
AMD is simply too reliant on TSMC. This is the reason why no 6000 series GPUs are on steam hw survey too. All Ampere cards are present and have been for a long time.

Most 5000 CPU sales have been 5600x and 5800x. 5900x and 5950x (especially) are rare.

Benchmark Scores 3050 scores good 15-20% lower than average, despite ASUS's claims that it has uber cooling.
ASUS has shockingly cheap for OLED (starting at 1099 Euro) lineup.
Sadly, only Intels at this point.
