Dell Inspiron 17 5767 review

Where the Inspiron 17 5767 stands

The Dell Inspiron 17 5767 is a 2016 general-purpose laptop with a 17-inch chassis. At roughly $219, it costs slightly less than the general-category median of $248. Its GPU score of 45.8 is 68% above the category average, placing it in the mainstream graphics tier — a genuine advantage for a large-format laptop. The trade-off is mobility: with a score of 10, this is one of the least portable machines in the dataset, reflecting the weight and bulk of a 17-inch form factor. This is a desktop-replacement laptop, not a machine to carry.

Mainstream graphics in a big chassis

The Inspiron 17 5767's GPU score of 45.8 places it 68% above the general-laptop median and firmly in the mainstream graphics tier. Grand Theft Auto V runs at 140 FPS at minimum settings, confirming that older game titles are well within reach. However, the data also shows clear limitations with more demanding titles: Far Cry 5 and Battlefield 5 are both unplayable at minimum settings. The graphics advantage is real for older games and media work, but current-generation titles are beyond this hardware.

Designed to stay put

The mobility score of 10 — 80% below the category median of 50 — tells the story. A 17-inch laptop is inherently heavy and bulky, and the 5767 embraces its role as a desktop replacement. With a reliability score of 20 (63% below median), buyers should also expect significant wear. This is not a machine to carry between rooms, let alone on trips. It occupies a desk, provides a large screen for media and productivity, and stays there.

Price trajectory

The Inspiron 17 5767 has depreciated at roughly 8% per year from an estimated $900 launch price to today's $219. The projected price two years out is approximately $186, a further 15% decline. The lower launch price (compared to business-class machines) means the absolute depreciation is smaller, and the machine is near its value floor.

How it compares

In the $185-$230 refurbished range, the Lenovo IdeaPad 330-15IKB ($187) and HP Pavilion x360 13-a010nr ($192) sit below, while the HP 15-ay102nf ($214) and Dell Inspiron 15 5566 ($230) are nearby alternatives. The 5767's advantage is the 17-inch screen and mainstream GPU — buyers who want a large display with gaming capability will find few options at this price. The trade-off is weight: all the alternatives are smaller and lighter.

Bottom line

The Inspiron 17 5767 is worth the asking price at $219 for buyers who want a large-screen desktop-replacement laptop with mainstream graphics capability. The 17-inch display and GPU score make it suitable for media consumption, older games, and productivity work on a big screen. The mobility score of 10 and reliability score of 20 are the honest caveats — this is a heavy, well-used machine that stays in one place. For a stationary media and light-gaming laptop at a budget price, it is a practical choice. For anything portable, it is the wrong tool.
