Design And Build Of Dell Inspiron 3511
Even though there are no apparent differences between the Inspiron 3511 and its predecessor, we liked a few upgrades in the new Dell Inspiron 3511. One of them sure is the design. The weight of this laptop has been significantly reduced compared to the Dell Inspiron 3501, which weighed 2.1kg. Besides, narrow bezels on all three sides are also a glamorous addition. Even though the lower bezel is not as sleek as it can be, it has notably slimmed down for a better viewing experience and aesthetics. The laptop is fingerprint-resistant with a well-built matte finish plastic body that gives it a premium look.
The ergonomically designed keyboard has well-spaced out keys. But that is not all. It features a dedicated number pad which is a rarity in the laptops of recent years. The trackpad is also designed with enough space around to rest the hand without affecting the gestures on the trackpad. Clearly, the computer is a little wider compared to other counterparts without the dedicated number board. But that does not make it unwieldy. As for the working of the trackpad, it is smooth and supports all hand gestures. For those who seek style, there are 3 color variants of the laptop: carbon black, mist blue speckle, and platinum silver.
The brand claims to incorporate recycled plastic into the laptop body. Besides, the packaging tray and components are mostly prepared from recycled paper and other materials. So, if you love something environmentally friendly, this one sure will win your heart!

Display Of Dell Inspiron 3511
The 15.6-inch FHD LED-Backlit display of Dell Inspiron 3511 has a resolution of 1920*1080 pixels, a prominent upgrade. However, the brightness goes only up to a maximum of 260 nits. But that is not a major problem in normal lighting conditions. The sleeker bezels on all four sides make the streaming, gaming, and normal viewing experiences more effortless.
Performance Of Dell Inspiron 3511
Dell laptops have never failed to impress the buyers with their performance, and Dell Inspiron 3511 is no exception. The Dell Inspiron 3511 laptop with an 11th Gen Intel Core i3 processor makes for a decent, affordable range laptop. The summation of 8 GB DDR4 RAM with 2666 MHz of clock speed and 256 GB NVMe SSD boosts the performance to a greater extent than other laptops with HDD storage. While you may avail of this laptop’s 256 GB SSD variant at under Rs 40000 budget, a slightly higher budget will get you a 512 GB SSD variant. You can buy a variant with hybrid storage in the Intel Core i3 version for better storage space, with a 256 GB NVMe SSD and 1 TB HDD. The Dell Inspiron 3511 Intel core i5 comes in 8 GB RAM and 16 GB RAM variants with 512 GB NVMe SSD storage option in both. All of these picks come at under Rs 60000.
Intel core i3 and i5 are both very efficient and powerful processors to boost the laptop’s performance. But the addition of RAM with 2666 MHz clock speed and SSD storage make way for a smoother multitasking experience. Both varieties offer enough storage options to suit the requirements and the budget of people from every walks of life. The Inspiron 3511 Core i3 does not provide a 16 GB RAM variant. But the expandable SSD and a reasonable price make up for it.

Battery Performance
The maximum brightness the 15.6-inch display of Dell Inspiron 15 3511 can reach is 261 nits, and there is no any fancy addition to the specs. So, the battery backup is supposed to be good, lasting for a good 7–8 hours, making a good battery for the price point.
Connectivity
The Dell Inspiron 3511 comes equipped with an SD card slot, a headphone/microphone jack, and a USB 2.0 port on the right side. The left side has an HDMI 1.4 port and 2 USB 3.2 ports. The mid-range Dell Inspiron laptops do not have a USB Type C port which is a disappointment when most laptops under the price point come with one. However, the top-end discrete graphic card models include a USB Type-C port in place of a USB 3.2.
Audio System
The stereo speakers located under this computing machine are decent for a laptop within this price range. They are 2W each, but the bass output is not very great. Even though the speakers are not the best specs on this device, they are decent for any kind of streaming or listening experience.
Final Verdict
Overall, the new Dell Inspiron 15 3511 laptop is a decent pick for everyday professional and academic needs. With the price at such an affordable range, you can hardly have anything to complain about. The addition of the type C USB port, brighter screen, and better speakers sound indeed would have made it the ultimate buy for every buyer at the price point. But you will forget about these drawbacks with the other superb specs like Intel Core i3 and i5 processors, 256 GB, 512 GB, and hybrid storage options, 8 GB and 16 GB RAM variants, solid build, a 15.6-inch large display, and more. So, we think this laptop is good value for money. What is your opinion about the Dell Inspiron 3511? Let us know in the comment section.
