It is also the same resolution, which is usually located on larger 15.6-inch laptops, compared with the models with that resolution, text and icons appear smaller on the Inspiron i1464-4382OBK. We found Web pages and Word documents considered to be quite readable, but with less than 20 20 vision, perhaps instead of a 15.6-inch laptop.

A Web cam sits above the display, and Dell includes a facial recognition app that you can use instead of a password to log on to the system. It is of dubious value, but it is fun to play to deal with. Finally, the laptop has a spacious 500 GB hard drive.
