Pros
Pro Great gaming performance for the price
The Inspiron 5675 uses an RX 580 as a GPU which provides great gaming performance, comparable to the GeForce GTX 1060 while costing much less.
It manages to play most AAA games at ultra and at 1440p with great framerates. Battlefield 1 for example never went below 60 FPS at 1440p and ultra-high detail settings.
Pro Plenty of ports
There's a wide array of ports available on this PC. The back has ix USB-A ports, an Ethernet port, five audio input/output jacks, a pair of PS/2 ports, and two HDMI and DisplayPorts. On the front there are four more USB-A ports, an SD Card reader, a headphone jack, and a single USB-C port.
Pro Great understated design
The Dell Inspiron 5675 mixes a gaming rig design with a office-friendly look which surprisingly works. The case is made of metal shrouded in a silvery plastic shell and accented with angled vents that surround almost half of the case itself. Under the grills there's a bright blue light that looks great from all viewing angles.
Pro Great build quality
The chassis is made from aluminium and is very solid, giving the feel of a premium laptop.
Pro Customizable RGB keyboard backlight
The keyboard’s RGB backlight can display 16.8 million colors on each key and the touchpad border. The included Synapse software lets you program the lights with different patterns and color profiles and is shareable to other Razer devices.
Pro One of the best displays on the market
The Razer Blade Pro has easily one of the best touchscreen displays that can be found in any laptop. The colors look accurate and vivid, as it covers 185% of the sRGB color gamut. Brightness goes beyond the industry average and can provide a very bright picture. The screen also supports NVIDIA G-Sync that helps eliminate screen tearing and smooths out movement.
Pro Built to be portable
At 22mm thin, this is the thinnest laptop that has the NVIDIA GeForce 1080 and one of the thinnest gaming laptops overall.
Pro Uses an actual mechanical keyboard
Razer uses ultra-low profile mechanical switches in the Blade Pro, which replicate full-sized mechanical keyboards. While it certainly makes the familiar, though noisy, clicking noise and is stiffer than a Chiclet keyboard, the travel is still too shallow compared to a regular mechanical keyboard.
Pro Great gaming performance
While from the outside Blade Pro looks like an ordinary 17 inch laptop, it packs serious gaming laptop performance. It is because Razer has equipped this laptop with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 and one of the fastest mobile processors you can buy today. It can run almost any modern game in 4K resolution in high or maximum settings at upwards of 30 FPS.
Cons
Con Daily performance could be a little better
The Inspiron 5675 uses an AMD Ryzen 5 as a CPU which unfortunately falls a bit behind as far as performance goes compared to Intel CPUs around this price. This is reflected even on third-party benchmarks such as the Geekbench score, where the Ryzen 5 scores 3377 points compared to Intel Core i5's 4500 score.
All of this means that for day-to-day tasks like web browsing, editing files, etc. is kinda good but could have been better without increasing the price by much (if anything).
Con Slow read/write processes
Even though it has a luxuriously large 1TB HDD, it's unfortunately very slow when opening, saving, or moving large files and it's easy to see why. The Inspiron 5675's HDD has a read speed of 190MB/s and writing speeds of 195MB/s this is quite slow compared to pre-builts that use SSDs capable of hitting read speeds of 500+MB/s and write speeds of 448MB/s.
Con Not very easy to customize
While it's rather easy to open the case (you need to remove four screws), it's hard to feel welcome. Admittedly there's some space to make some expansions, like adding some extra RAM. But the Radeon RX 580 GPU is bolted in with a metal bracket and that requires a bit of extra patience to remove. The bracket itself is perfectly sized for the RX 580 GPU and might not work for a larger graphics card.
Con May need some time to getting used to the position of the touchpad
The touchpad is located on the right side of the keyboard, and can take some time to get used to.
Con No 802.11ac support
The wireless network card does not support 802.11ac, a wireless standard with significant improvements over the previous 802.11n standard.
