Dell Inspiron 7620 2-in-1 review: responsive screen, hefty bulk

The Dell Inspiron 7620 2-in-1 is Dell’s newest offering – but is it worth its 2kg weight in gold or destined to sink like a lead balloon?

Our Verdict

The Dell Inspiron 7620 2-in-1 is a solidly built aluminium-shell laptop, able to withstand the sort of day-to-day battering it might receive in a student rucksack but sleek enough to look stylish in an office. While its weight puts it more in the laptop camp than the tablet camp, the screen is impressive in tent mode and the hinges feel like they’d withstand quite a bit of abuse. Although the lack of an included stylus to go with the responsive touchscreen feels like a major oversight, it’s a solid, dependable choice for graphics and writing work but doesn’t quite stand up to video editing or processor-heavy gaming.

For

  • Responsive screen
  • Runs pretty solidly and well
