Dell surprised everyone way back in 2015 when they released the Inspiron 15 7559, a budget gaming notebook on their Inspiron line of laptops with great performance (as claimed by reviewers) in a price range that was below $1,000.
That move was well praised by reviewers and buyers alike and they had to come up with a successor to the 7559. Well this year in January, they did come up with a sequel and it was named the Inspiron 15 7567 and it is now available at Text Book Centre.
In the new model, they slightly changed the design but still retained the gamer aesthetic of the original. However, the biggest change is found in the internals.
It was refreshed with the latest 7th generation Kaby Lake quad core Intel processors and NVIDIA’s latest GeForce® 10 series dedicated GPUs ( GTX 1050 and 1050Ti) with 4GB of GDDR5 VRAM each. In terms of storage, you can get various configurations, which can go upto 512GB of the blazing fast PCIe NVMe M.2 SSDs (top model) plus a 1 TB HDD. There is also a choice of displays ranging from a 1080p one at the base model to a 4K one at the highest res
Dell also didn’t skimp on sound. Just like the 7559, the 7567 has a subwoofer at the bottom which paired with the other stereo speakers allows for an immersive gaming experience. They also crammed a relatively large 74Whr battery for the 15 inch model which is impressive for this price point.
