Dell Inspiron 3780 review

An i7 8565U With a Radeon 520 and One Honest 4 fps

The Dell Inspiron 3780 pairs an i7 8565U with a Radeon 520 and 16 GB of memory. No listing price is recorded. Its verified entries split cleanly: Overwatch and Grand Theft Auto V clear their minimum bars, while Far Cry 5 fails its own at minimum settings.

Where it holds up

The two minimum-bar passes are backed by an 8th-generation i7 — a credible CPU anchor for a budget record. Graphics reads 7.91 and photo design 18; office reaches 30.5, the highest of the 37xx Inspirons in this batch; and the 16 GB of memory reaches half the class median of 32.

Where it falls short

Reliability is the flagged weakness at 6 against a class median of 54. The measured Far Cry 5 entry — failing at minimum settings — is the honest floor beneath the graphics reading of 7.91. Performance sits at 22.54 in the low band, gaming 23, modeling 20, engineering CAD 24 — all low band. Portability reads 5.8, mobility 7 against a median of 50, and value posts 9.8 low-band. The 3780's office score of 30.5 leads the 37xx family precisely because it is one of the few entries in that family with any measured task data at all. The two verified passes and the honest 4 fps failure are this record's working assets in the same way.

Price and depreciation

No listing price is recorded and no depreciation curve is modeled for this entry.

Alternatives to consider

The Inspiron 3480 in this batch offers the i5 8265U alternative with three verified passes and a higher portability reading. The G5 15 5587 (2018) at $245 is the batch's value benchmark with a real GTX 1060.

Bottom line

Fairly priced for the class. Two passes and one 4 fps — the record gives you both sides of an entry-level dGPU story without editorializing.
