Dell Inspiron 3520 configuration
This Dell Inspiron 3520 laptop pairs an 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor with 64GB DDR4 memory. It runs Windows 11 Pro on a 15.6 inch 120Hz Full HD display. Dual storage combines a 256GB NVMe SSD with a 1TB hard drive. The system ships new with a three-cell 41 WHr battery.
Suits multitaskers needing memory headroom
The 64GB DDR4 capacity supports heavy browser tabs, virtual machines and large datasets without paging. Integrated Iris Xe graphics handle office apps and media playback but cannot drive modern 3D titles or GPU compute workloads. Buyers who want discrete graphics or a touchscreen should look at something else.
Sustained load behaviour
The 65W power adapter feeds a 15W-class quad-core CPU that can reach 4.2 GHz in short bursts. Under continuous load the chip throttles to stay within thermal limits, so clock speeds settle lower than the peak figure. The 120Hz panel remains responsive while the fan manages heat from the single heat pipe.

Questions about this item

This Inspiron 3520 already ships with 64 GB DDR4 and the 256 GB 2230 PCIe NVMe SSD installed, so no extra parts or donor laptop are required.
Will my Bluetooth 5.0 headset and 802.11ac router work with the built-in wireless card?
Yes — the laptop includes Bluetooth 5.0 and 802.11ac Wi-Fi, so your current headset and router will connect without adapters.
