Background
The Dell Inspiron 15 model number 7566 has an Intel Core i5-6300HQ processor, 4GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960m graphics adapter. This gaming laptop has the specs to provide a light gaming experience for those interested in gaming but is not recommended for hardcore gaming.
According to reviews, the battery life can extend up to 7 hours when barely being used but typically lasts 3-4 hours when fully charged. The reviews also note that the display can be mediocre, and the device is on the heavier side compared to others in the Dell Inspiron 15 model 7000 series, which makes it less mobile.
Identification
The Dell Inspiron 15 Gaming 1566 has a black or red plastic case with a red or black Dell logo in the middle of the top case. With each version, there is a red accent behind a black triangular grill at the bottom. The model number can be found on a sticker on the bottom case of the laptop.
