If you're looking for a laptop with better performance than an entry-level machine but you still have to stick to a budget then this Dell might be just what you need.

I've had nothing but headaches with the Inspiron 7520 laptop. Its switchable graphics does not work properly. Just Google "Inspiron 7520 problems with AMD switchable graphics." You'll find people literally begging for help, and Dell and AMD are not fixing the problem. The graphics drivers are screwed up and the AMD card does not switch on when you use a high-demand application, including pretty basic gaming. After more than 50 wasted hours with tech support, my computer still doesn't work AND DELL REFUSES TO REPLACE IT! Save yourself a lot of aggravation and buy something else--anything else!
