Dell Inspiron 3482 review

The 8 GB Sibling With the Same Blanks

The Dell Inspiron 3482 records 8 GB of memory — half its sibling 3481's pool — and, like that machine, no CPU or GPU entries. No listing price exists. Mobility at 62 is again the flagged strength, and the graphics zero again the weakness.

Where it holds up

Mobility at 62, 24% above the class median, and portability at 59.6 mid-band — the same carry numbers as the 3481. Performance reads 1.6 against a median of 43.05, office 4.8, gaming 19, modeling 12, engineering CAD 19, photo design 13. The differences from its sibling are confined to the memory pool and the performance reading; the carry story is shared. With 8 GB instead of 16, the practical envelope narrows to light multitasking — the one configuration fact this record actually carries. Everything else on the sheet is either a default-scale value or a blank, and the review honestly reflects that. In the 348x ladder, this is the bottom rung.

Where it falls short

Graphics is a coverage gap rather than a measured zero (no GPU entry, score 0 against a median of 27.24) — the flagged weakness. The composite score of 4 sits 92% below the class median of 53. With no value reading and no price, the record offers no economic argument either way — only the observation that the 3481's fuller memory pool costs nothing extra in this comparison.

Price and depreciation

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

Alternatives to consider

The Inspiron 3480 with its recorded i5 8265U and verified passes is the family's data-backed pick. The Inspiron 3583 (i3 8145U, 16 GB) adds memory over this record.

Bottom line

Fairly priced for the class. The thinnest record of the 348x family — carry score included, everything else missing.
