For $200 more, our test system stepped up to an eight-core Ryzen 7 5700U chip, 16GB of memory, and a 512GB SSD. At the price of our tester, you'd be better served by spending a bit more for the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 or saving some cash and picking up the Lenovo Flex 5i or-better yet-the Editors' Choice-award-winning, AMD-based Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14.įor $799.99, you can get an Inspi2-in-1 with a six-core Ryzen 5 5500U processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB solid-state drive. A dark display and a crummy touchpad, however, kick the Inspiron 7415 out of the elite 2-in-1 club and make it look and feel like a not particularly impressive budget model. Its all-aluminum chassis makes it feel like a premium unit, and its AMD Ryzen 7 CPU helps it outrun pricier Intel-based models.

The Dell Inspi2-in-1 (starts at $799.99 $999.99 as tested) occupies the middle ground between premium convertible laptops like the HP Spectre x360 14 and Dell's own XPS 13 2-in-1, and more affordable alternatives such as the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i 14.
