Dell Inspiron 5558 Vs Dell Inspiron 5548
January 31st, 2020
I want to buy a new laptop. I am stuck with these two laptop and can’t able to decide which one should I buy.
Please give suggestions and tell me which one is better.
I think both have almost same specifications with no major difference.
Dell Inspiron 5558

Dell Inspiron 5548

Get the one with the better graphics card, those models vary in their components so please list links of the actual laptops you are planning to purchase if you want a definitive answer.
I don’t know the reason you need a powerful laptop, but they are not so convenient…
It’s better to have a desktop for power. By the way: here are the specs, they differ only in the video card…

As the name implies the first is a little better for the graphic card.
If the price difference is small you should go for the 5558.
Given that the two graphics cards are very similar, as well as the rest of the components, it really boils down to price, and whether you prefer AMD or Nvidia.
That is assuming that both laptops differ only on graphics cards, as I know that the models have variations on the processors.

If the price difference is small you should go for the 5558.Actually, the main reason of because I am not choosing 5558 is that it has plastic body otherwise I would definitely select it.

5558 has a better graphic card. By a very small margin though.
If you can go for the 7000 series, the build quality is 1000 times better.
