Dell Inspiron 3505 / Ryz 5 3500u / 8GB DDR4 / 256GB SSD / 15"/ W11 Key Specifications & Features Component Detail Model / Series Dell Inspiron 15 3505 series (15‑inch budget/entry laptop) EuroPC +4 Dell +4 Product in Detail +4 Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 5 3500U — quad‑core, base ~2.1 GHz, boost to ~3.7 GHz, 15 W TDP class Product in Detail +5 Dell +5 NanoReview.net +5 Memory (RAM) 8 GB DDR4 (1 × 8 GB) — single channel in most units Product in Detail +4 EuroPC +4 Converge UK +4 Storage 256 GB SSD (NVMe, M.2) efacomputer.com +6 EuroPC +6 EuroPC +6 Display 15.6‑inch, Full HD (1920×1080), anti‑glare, ~60 Hz, typically ~220 nits brightness, modest color gamut (≈ 60% sRGB) Icecat +5 Converge UK +5 NanoReview.net +5 Graphics Integrated: AMD Radeon Vega 8 (shared with system RAM) NanoReview.net +4 Converge UK +4 Gadcet UK +4 Ports & Connectivity Common ports: 2 × USB 3.2 Gen1, 1 × USB 2.0, HDMI 1.4, RJ‑45 Ethernet, 3.5 mm audio combo jack; WiFi 5 (802.11ac) + Bluetooth (often BT 4.2 / 5.0 depending on model) EuroPC +6 Converge UK +6 Dell +6 Battery 3‑cell battery, ~42 Wh capacity NanoReview.net +4 Icecat +4 EuroPC +4 Dimensions & Weight Around 364 × 249 mm footprint; thickness ~18–20 mm; weight ~1.8–1.96 kg (depending on configuration) NanoReview.net +4 Gadcet UK +4 EuroPC +4 Operating System Windows 11 (or upgradeable if shipped with Windows 10) in this “/W11/C” config Converge UK +3 EuroPC +3 EuroPC +3 Other Features Full‑size keyboard with numeric keypad, HD (720p) webcam, SD card reader support in some models Gadcet UK +3 Converge UK +3 Dell +3 You can see one listing here: Dell 15 3505 / Ryzen 5 3500U / 8 GB / 256 GB. Strengths & What It’s Good For Everyday usage — Web browsing, office productivity (Word, Excel), email, light multitasking should be very comfortable with this setup (Ryzen 5 + SSD helps a lot). Quick boot and snappy feel — The SSD ensures that system boot, app launches, and file access will feel responsive. Balanced for value — It offers a decent CPU and enough memory for not-too-demanding tasks without overspending on features many users don’t need. Upgradeable potential — You may be able to expand RAM (if the other slot is free) or replace the SSD with a larger one, depending on the internal layout and availability of spare slots. Limitations & What to Be Careful About Single-channel RAM: Many units ship with a single 8 GB stick. This reduces integrated GPU performance and overall memory throughput compared to dual-channel configurations. Modest display: 220 nits brightness and a limited color gamut make it less ideal for demanding media or creative work (photo editing, colour work) in bright conditions. NanoReview.net +2 Product in Detail +2 Integrated graphics only: Vega 8 is okay for light gaming (older titles or low settings) and video playback, but not for demanding modern games or GPU-heavy workloads. Battery life: With a 42 Wh battery and modest hardware, expect somewhere in the ballpark of 4–6 hours under light use (web + documents). Under heavier load it will drop more. Thermal / acoustic constraints: Under heavier CPU/GPU load, the cooling and fan noise may become noticeable. Limited expandability: Some models may have only one internal M.2 slot, or the RAM might be soldered or constrained—check your specific variant. Brightness in bright environments: The ~220 nit max brightness means outdoors or in sunny rooms, the screen may be difficult to see. Final Thoughts & Suitability This Dell Inspiron 3505 configuration is well-suited for: Students or professionals needing a dependable general-purpose laptop for study, office work, web, streaming. Users who don’t require high-end graphics or colour‑critical display work. Budget-conscious buyers who still want an SSD and a quad-core processor. It’s less suited for: High-end gaming, 3D modelling, video editing (unless you keep expectations modest). Heavy GPU tasks or creative work needing strong colour accuracy. Users who demand long battery life in all-day disconnected use.
