Dell quietly released four new models of its Inspiron 17 5000 laptop, each sporting AMD’s newest Ryzen 5 and 3 processors with onboard Vega graphics.
The memory and storage come in various configurations for each of the two models bearing the new Ryzen 5 and 3 chips. The bottom-end Ryzen 3 version sports 8GB (1 x 8GB) of DDR4-2400 and a 1TB 5,400RPM SATA HDD. The next step up features 12GB (1 x 4GB, 1 x 8GB) of memory and the same HDD. The Ryzen 5 models both feature 16GB (2 x 8GB) of DDR4-2400 and a 2TB 5,400 RPM HDD. The only difference between the two higher-end models is that the $999 version comes with a year of Dell's Premium Support Plus coverage, where as the $899 model does not (the tech specs that are available are identical). This isn't unusual, but we do question why Dell would refrain from offering a model with an SSD for primary storage.
The new Dell Inspiron 17 5000 laptops with AMD Ryzen processors with Vega graphics are available now from the company’s website, starting at $679.99.
