Dell Inspiron 15 5593 review

Where the Inspiron 15 5593 stands

The Dell Inspiron 15 5593 is a 2019 ultrabook-class laptop priced around $396 — close to the $373 median for its category. Configured with a 10th-gen Core i5-1035G1 and a remarkable 64 GB of RAM, it is built around an unusual premise for this tier: memory abundance. The standout is RAM; the absence is graphics, and the value case depends entirely on how much that memory matters to the buyer.

Memory: the genuine standout

The 5593's 64 GB of RAM is double the 32 GB class median, placing it in the top quarter of its category. For most everyday users that is overkill, but for specific workloads — heavy virtualization, large in-memory datasets, running multiple virtual machines, or aggressive multitasking with many browser tabs and applications — it is a real, usable advantage that very few laptops in this price band offer. Paired with a modern-enough Core i5, this configuration is a quiet productivity powerhouse in everything except graphics.

Graphics: the honest gap

The weak spot is graphics: a score of zero against a 3.84 median means there is no usable GPU headroom. This is an integrated-only configuration with no gaming or GPU-accelerated-creative capability to speak of. Reliability at 21 versus a 51 median is also well below the midline, reflecting a consumer ultrabook several years into its life. Buyers should evaluate this strictly as a memory-rich productivity machine, not a versatile or gaming-capable one.

Price trajectory

From a $1,400 launch price, the 5593 has declined to about $396, losing value at roughly 8.45% per year. The projected price two years out is near $332 — a further 16.18% drop. As a relatively recent machine it still has meaningful depreciation ahead, which tempers the value argument: $396 is fair for the class today, but the asset will continue to shrink.

How it compares

At $396 the 5593 sits at the typical price for its peer group, differentiating on memory rather than performance. Above it, the HP Laptop 14-ep0199nr and HP 15t-fd000 ($422 each) are pricier comparables. Below, the HP 14s-fq1034no ($373) and Lenovo V14 G2 ($357) are cheaper but typically offer far less RAM. The 5593's case is narrow but real: it is the pick for buyers whose workload is memory-bound and who do not need a GPU.

Bottom line

The Inspiron 15 5593 is a fairly-priced ultrabook built for one specific strength — 64 GB of RAM — that makes it genuinely attractive for memory-hungry productivity work, virtualization, and heavy multitasking. The honest trade-off is the total absence of GPU capability and below-median reliability. For the right memory-bound workload it is a smart buy; for general or graphics-capable use, peers offer better-balanced value.
