日本Dell Vostro 15 3510 – Top 5 Pros and Cons
Dell’s Vostro brand generally puts out quality devices for a good price. Their low-end Vostro 15 3510 can be equipped with decently-powerful hardware, including a Core i7-1165G7 and a dedicated graphics card, which here is an MX350 from NVIDIA.
Your GPU choice is important since it also affects the I/O. Lastly, in terms of displays, the base configuration comes with a 768p TN panel, which is inexcusable in 2022. Thankfully, there’s also a Full HD IPS panel, which we managed to test.
Today we are presenting you with LaptopMedia’s top 5 picks about the Dell Vostro 15 3510.
Dell Vostro 15 3510: Full Specs / In-depth Review
3 reasons to BUY the Dell Vostro 15 3510
1. Input devices
The keyboard here is one of the better features of the notebook, bringing decent key travel and clicky feedback. Pair that with a NumPad, well-sized keycaps, and a backlight, and you get a more than suitable unit for typing and general use. The touchpad has good size, along with a smooth cover and accurate tracking.
2. I/O
If you get the discrete GPU option, there are two USB Type-A ports, with one running at 2.0 speeds, while the other is a 3.2 (Gen. 1) port, a single USB Type-C 3.2 (Gen. 1) port, an HDMI 1.4 connector, an SD card reader, a LAN port, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. If you pick a model with an integrated GPU, the Type-C port gets swapped for a Type-A port of the same generation and speeds.
3. Upgradeability
For upgradeability, there are two SODIMM RAM slots and a single M.2 PCIe x4 drive slot. Depending on what battery pack you pick you can get enough space freed on the inside to fit a 2.5-inch SSD.
Here is our detailed teardown video, which shows how to access both the RAM and storage slots.
2 reasons NOT to buy the Dell Vostro 15 3510
1. Design and build quality
Unsurprisingly, the laptop is entirely made out of plastic and while we definitely have seen rigid and durable plastic laptops, this Dell definitely isn’t one of them. Both the lid and the base a bendy, so keep in mind where you keep your laptop and invest in a good laptop bag, which you should generally do, regardless of what laptop you’re using. On the flip side, the laptop has been made decently light, sporting a weight of 1.69 kg and a profile of 18.9 mm. The lid also doesn’t open with a single hand. However, it does feature a lever mechanism, so you’ll get better airflow and the keyboard will sit at an angle, improving the typing experience.
2. Display quality
The 15.6-inch Full HD IPS panel comes with excellent viewing angles, a max brightness of 261 nits in the middle of the screen, and 259 nits as an average for the whole area, with a maximum deviation of 5%. The contrast ratio is also decent at 1100:1. The color coverage is poor at 51% sRGB coverage, while the accuracy is poor as well, regardless of whether you apply our Design and Gaming profile or not. One area where our profile is helpful is with the aggressive PWM that the panel uses, with our Health-Guard profile eliminating the issue completely.

Naast het ontvangen van efficiënte en gezondheidsvriendelijke profielen, steunt u door het kopen van LaptopMedia's producten ook de ontwikkeling van onze laboratoria, waar wij apparaten testen om de meest objectieve beoordelingen mogelijk te maken.
Office Work
Office Work moet vooral worden gebruikt door gebruikers die de meeste tijd besteden aan het bekijken van stukken tekst, tabellen of gewoon surfen. Dit profiel is gericht op het leveren van een betere helderheid en duidelijkheid door het behouden van een vlakke gammacurve (2.20), native kleurtemperatuur en perceptueel accurate kleuren.
Ontwerp en spel
Dit profiel is gericht op ontwerpers die beroepsmatig met kleuren werken, en ook voor games en films. Design and Gaming brengt beeldschermen tot het uiterste en maakt ze zo nauwkeurig mogelijk in de sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standaard voor Web en HDTV, bij witpunt D65.
Health-Guard
Health-Guard elimineert de schadelijke Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) en vermindert het negatieve Blauwe Licht dat onze ogen en ons lichaam aantast. Omdat het op maat is gemaakt voor elk paneel, slaagt het erin de kleuren perceptueel nauwkeurig te houden. Health-Guard simuleert papier zodat de druk op de ogen sterk wordt verminderd.
