The screen clearly stands out with its refresh rate of 120Hz because it is higher than the standard 60Hz which is rare at this price level. It has the effect of bringing much better fluidity to everyday life.

Performance, autonomy of this Dell Inspiron 15 3520

It delivers good performance in this area such as surfing the Internet and office use, viewing photos and videos or playing light games.
