Review Overview
The Dell 7567 will be a perfect laptop for those who want a gaming laptop on a limited budget, especially if your restriction is around the 100-130k. It has a decent build, surprisingly good battery life, awesome gaming performance (considering the price), and acceptable thermals. The only downside this laptop suffers from is its average display and mediocre connectivity available on board.

Build
This is a well-built laptop. It is all plastic but you can just see the work Dell put into it. It's really heavy at 2.7Kgs but the thickness is well maintained under 1 inch. There is very less flex in both screen and chassis, and the laptop itself feels well built.
Display
The display is one of the places where Dell did compromise. Releasing the laptop with a mediocre TN panel which just seemed faded with very bad color reproductions, even worst viewing angles and an overwhelming brightness level.
Performance
The specs on this laptop are excellent. You can buy it in either an i5 or an i7 quad-core 45W processor. The one that we used has a core i7-7700HQ processor which goes up to 3.8GHz, which is perfect for processor-intensive tasks. It is also one of the best processors you can find on a laptop. The laptop came with a single channel 16GB of DDR4 RAM at 2400MHz. You do get an empty RAM slot so you can upgrade it to a total of 32GB, which is nice. Although 32GB of RAM will be an overkill for gaming anyway.Gaming Performance
You can opt for either a GTX 1050 or a GTX 1050Ti, our review unit came with a GTX 1050Ti. Although the GTX 1050 will be enough for most, the extra money you will be paying for the Ti variant is worth it.Dell 7567 with GTX 1050Ti
The 1050Ti is a really capable card that can handle Triple-A titles. Most games will easily cross the 60fps barrier with ease either at high or medium settings. The only exception that I found was PUBG, where 60fps was by far unreachable even with all the setting turned to "very low". Although this is definitely the game developers fault who have yet to start optimizing the game.
Thermals
Thermals on a gaming laptop are really important, and this laptop does a good job of keeping itself cool under load. The two fans are really aggressive, kicking in even before the programs have started to load. The laptop does heat up somewhere around the "GHJ" area of the keyboard, but the rests stay surprisingly cool, even after about two hours of continuous gaming.
Storage
This laptop can fit both an M.2 SSD and a 2.5-inch HDD. Mine came with a 128GB SSD and a 1TB hard disk. The SSD is where Dell did compromise a little, with reading and write speed of around 400 and 200mbps, which isn't bad but in terms of SSD speeds, it's one of the slowest. You OS will run without any glitches and if you are coming from a hard disk-based laptop, this SSD will feel immensely fast. Apps like photoshops will load within 6-8 seconds and the boot time is somewhere around 8 seconds. Then there is the regular 2.5-inch 5200RPM hard disk with a 1TB storage.Keyboard and Trackpad
The keyboard is fine for gaming and typing, but I did hope for more key travel. The keys have a mushy feeling for some reason, but most won't even notice it. The keyboard does have a red backlit to them. The touchpad uses windows precision drivers which makes up for the cheap build. It is also not very accurate, but it does the job.
Connectivity
Dell did compromise on the connectivity side of the laptop. The dual ban AC WiFi caps out at around 70mbps, so you will be better off with the Gigabit LAN. Especially while gaming, the LAN does a very good job compared to the latency filled wifi experience. Not that the wifi is bad, it's actually better than most of the laptops out there. It's just not a perfect fit for downloading and gaming.
Battery Life
Gaming laptops are known for their bad battery life. But this laptop is one exception to that theory. Thanks to the huge 74Wh battery, Nvidia Optimus and a fairly low power consuming processor, the battery life is pretty good. You can get over 6 hours of regular usage and around 2 hours in gaming.
Dell Inspiron 7567 Pros:
- Well-built body
- Doesn’t heat up much under load
- Performance is one of the best at this price point.
Dell Inspiron 7567 Cons:
- The trackpad could have been better along with the wifi
- They could have drastically improved the display
Alternatives
I can think of very few alternatives to this laptop. The HP Omen and Asus ROG GL553VD fall under the same price category but with GTX 1050 inside, so it's probably not worth it. If you want to pay a little over 15k you do get the Acer Predator Helios 300 and the MSI GE62 6VR with the GTX 1060. But if your budget is around the 130k price range, you cannot go wrong with this laptop for gaming.Article Last updated: December 10, 2017
