DELL INSPIRON 5542 CORE I3 4005U 1.7GHZ, RAM 4G, HDD 500GB, 15.6’

The forefront of touch technology

The optional HD touch delivers crisp, brilliant images and greater immersion in your games, photos and everyday tasks.

Your every tap, swipe and scroll is more responsive and accurate with a 10-finger capacitive touch screen. Capacitive touch seems more natural and fluid than optical touch because capacitive sensors are right under the screen, compared to optical touch, which uses cameras in the bezel of the laptop. Have more fun with Windows 8.1, swipe through your photo album faster and unleash your creativity with capacitive touch.

Your mobile media center

Dynamic display: Video chat on the fly, watch a movie while you’re waiting for class or edit your vacation photos from your hotel room – it all looks better on the vivid 14" HD screen. Brilliant HD makes every pixel count, so presentations pop and photos, videos and games come alive with sharp detail and clarity.

Studio-quality sound: Whether you’re mixing, streaming or chatting, Waves MaxxAudio® delivers lower lows, higher highs and outstanding audio performance.

More features, major impact

Easy connectivity
A full-size HDMI port, two USB 3.0, one USB 2.0 and a media card reader provide flexible connectivity and data transfer options.

Strong, fast signal
Improved wireless performance over previous models delivers a stronger WiFi connection. The newest 802.11ac technology option connects at blazingly fast WiFi speeds across an extended range, so you can roam free and still enjoy an impressive wireless experience.

 

Designed for the real world — because that’s where life happens.

We want you to love your new PC for years to come. That’s why we test Inspiron laptops for reliability not just in the places where you expect it, but for the open road ahead.

Turn up the heat: From locker rooms to locked cars, we test Inspiron laptops for survival in harsh short-term heat conditions of up to 65°C/149°F.

Everything hinges on it: We test Inspiron laptop hinges to ensure they still feel tight, even after opening and closing the lid 20,000 times.

Keys to success: We test commonly used keys for 10 million keystrokes and touch pad buttons 1 million times with no failure. So go ahead, finish your novel.

Buttoned up: No matter what you set your power and multimedia buttons to do, we’ve tested them all to survive up to 40,000 pushes with no problems.

Twist and turn: Call us excessive, but after twisting an Inspiron laptop’s base and lid more than 25,000 times, we can assure you the parts inside are well protected.

Always a good fit: You’ll probably never need to remove and reinstall your Inspiron’s battery 30 times, but you can rest easy knowing that we’ve tested even that.
