Storage is a bit of a let-down in some ways. The Radeon graphics adapter supplies good enough grunt to allow for some entry-level gaming to be undertaken on this laptop, and this was shown in 3DMark, where the Radeon recorded 926 in the Fire Strike test and 3915 in the Cloud Gate test. In terms of performance, the Inspiput up an expected showing in our tests, recording 42sec in Blender 3D, and 20min in HandBrake, showing that it can be used easily not only for typical office and Web tasks, but also for tougher tasks such as encoding media files, editing photos, and working on video files (for basic home videos). There is a clean layout on the inside, allowing you to replace RAM, storage, and the battery.

If you want to upgrade to 16GB, you'll have to replace them with two 8GB modules, which at the time of writing cost about $230. Bear in mind that Dell has installed the 8GB across both slots using two 4GB modules.

If your needs change, you can swap the storage (maybe install a solid state drive instead to get better overall performance), as well as the RAM capacity. Once it's off, it gives you access to the system's two memory slots, the 2.5in hard drive bay, the Wi-Fi module, the battery, and the cooling fan for the CPU and graphics.

Its bottom panel (made out of plastic) is held together by two Phillips-head screws and can be easily removed. The good thing is that the Inspiis user-serviceable.

We tested the 8GB version of the 5000 Series, which is the cheaper of the two models that are available at the time of writing, with the 16GB version having a 'RAM tax' attached to it, costing $300 more than the 8GB version. The configuration is helmed by an Intel fourth-generation Core i7-4510U CPU, an AMD Radeon R7 M265 graphics adapter, and a 1TB Toshiba solid state hybrid drive (SSHD). In the case of the InspiSeries, the only options you can change prior to purchase are the software and services, and there are two different models you can choose from, with the only difference in the hardware being that one has 8GB of RAM, and the other has 16GB of RAM. These days (and for a while now), the company's Australian site doesn't offer quite as much freedom to pick and choose the hardware configuration you want for each model, so you have to be careful to select the model that you want from the get-go (you might find that a 7000 Series or 3000 Series is better for you).

Dell laptops used to be among the most customisable in the industry, allowing you to choose the storage, RAM, and CPU of your choice during the purchasing process.
