To Dell: A new laptop lineup

​We thought after seeing Inspiron 7537 in 2013, that future Inspirons might follow that path.​
​ But alas, present Inspirons are again kind of low end.​
​ Please introduce a new segment of laptops between XPS and Inspiron. Just like "Studios"​
​ were.​
​ ​
​ ​​Bests about Inspiron 7000 (2013):​
​ ☺ 1. Aluminium. Lid and Palm rest.​
​ ☺ 2. Gorilla glass protection on display.​
​ ☺ 3. IPS Display (1080), though few shortcomings are there.​
​ ☺ 4. Strong build quality.​
​ ☺ 5. 4 USB3 ports. (Loved it!)​
​ ☺ 6. HDD activity LED.​
​ ☺ 7. Palm rest part on both sides are free from any port. It helps using mouse.​
​ ☺ 8. Strong hinge. (★★★★★)​
​ ☺ 9. Dual Band 2x2 Wi-Fi (★★★★★)​
​ ☺ 10. GOOD NVidia gpu with GDDR5 memory (★★★★★)​
​ ☺ 11. Battery is ok.​
​ ​
​ ​​Shortcomings:​
​ ​
​☹ 1. My Display has ghosting, backlight bleeding & minor color banding problems. Panel is LG​
​ Philips LGD040E 1920x1080.​
​ ☹ 2. Poor WIFI reception due to whole metal lid. It can be cured by making cut in DELL logo​
​ part and placing antennas there. Just like metal body phones.​
​ ☹ 3. Keyboard. Color of the keyboard should be black. It's difficult to see the markings on​
​ the keys with fluorescent lit room and key backlit on.​
​ ☹ 4. Keyboard again. Flex. The keyboard should be rigid. The keyboard should be installed​
​ from inside, like MacBook pro.​
​ ☹ 5. Trackpad. Sometimes the pointer skips during 2finger scrolling. Use glass.​
​ ☹ 6. Most important - there is hissing sound/white noise from 3.5 headphone port. It was​
​ also there in my Studio 1558 laptop.​
​ ☹ 7. Rubber gasket around the Display. It goes inside if after closing the lid the laptop is​
​ lifted using one hand with tight grip.​
​ ☹ 8. There should be only one bottom cover (like MacBook pro) for maintenance or part​
​ removal.​
​ ☹ 9. The ports on the right side are very closely located. It's difficult to connect HDMI​
​ cable and pen drive side by side.​
​ ☹ 10. Speakers are real let down for this laptop.​
​ ​
​ ​​The expectations for new line up:​
​ 1. All the points from "Bests about Inspiron 7000 (2013)".​
​ 2. 15.6-inch Non-Touch 1920x1080 IGZO Display with GLASS Protection - It's very good. Easy to clean. No micro distortion like on matte display. No need for touch on a full-size laptop.​
​ 3. Sturdy keyboard with black color, installed from inside, and strong backlit with 4 option - off, light, medium and full glow.​
​ 3. Glass trackpad. No physical keys.​
​ 4. If M2 SSD is used then keep a vacant space for traditional HDD.​
​ 5. Dual fan, each for CPU and GPU. If possible with below premium price tag.​
​ 6. 1080p Camera. So that no need for external full hd cam for Full hd skyping.​
​ 7. A real 4 core CPU from Intel core i7 as option.​
​ 8. Good speakers. Either front facing (like where the battery and HDD leds are placed on 7537) or upward facing (above Palmrest deck, both sides of keyboard; or above keyboard).​
​ 9. Right angled power plug (if the placement of power port is unchanged).​
​ 10. Include USB 3.1 Type C port, but dont reduce the number of usb 3.0 ports.​
​ 11. Include SIM card tray. Internal data card optional.​
​ 12. Remove HDMI. Provide Display port.​
