Dell Inspiron 15 7000: A gaming laptop at a decidedly non-gaming price

INEXPENSIVE GAMING LAPTOPS. They’re the order of the day, with component prices reaching new lows and non-gaming companies putting out quality products at a bargain. A few years back we were hyped about Lenovo’s selling its Y50 for $1,200. Now? You can pick up a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 (go.pcworld.com/insp157k) Gaming notebook for $850. That’s with a 1050 Ti thrown in.

Sure, it might not be the most powerful gaming laptop, but getting a system with a dedicated graphics card at this price is crazy. And if it weren’t for one major caveat, the Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming would be an insane deal.
