DELL Inspiron 15 3000 Laptop

Dell’s Inspiron 15 3000 15.6″ laptop is packed with features students need for school AND fun thanks to the Waves MaxxAudio sound technology and TrueLife display for listening to music or streaming movies.

Designed for a busy student’s life, Dell tests the most commonly used keys for 10 million keystrokes and touch pad buttons 1 million times with no failure, so that paper can still get finished. It can even handle harsh short-term heat conditions of up to 65°C/149°F!

There’s no need to worry about opening your laptop a bunch of times between classes. Dell tests Inspiron laptop hinges to ensure they still feel tight, even after opening and closing the lid 20,000 times.
