The Dell Inspiron 15 3000 Series 3593 is a 2019 budget workhorse built for students and everyday users who needed a reliable 15.6-inch laptop without a premium price tag. Dell sold it with a choice of 10th generation Intel processors, a mix of HD and full HD display panels, and either a hard drive or solid-state storage depending on the build. It never aimed to impress on paper, but that same simplicity is why so many units are still in daily use years later, and why there is a steady resale market for well-kept examples. Pick your processor tier and condition in the selector above to see a live cash offer generated for your exact configuration. If you want the mechanics of the process first, see how the process works, or head straight to the sell your laptop page to compare it against other machines you might be trading in at the same time.

Confirm you have the Inspiron 3593

The fastest way to confirm the exact model is through Windows itself. Press Windows key + R, type msinfo32, and press enter. The System Model field will read "Inspiron 3593" if this is your unit. You can also flip the laptop over and read the Service Tag and Express Service Code printed on the bottom panel label, which Dell's support site can match to the full configuration on file, including the processor tier, RAM, and storage that shipped from the factory.

Dell Inspiron 3593

  • Bottom panel sticker lists Service Tag, Express Service Code, and model number
  • msinfo32 or dxdiag in Windows reports "Inspiron 3593" under System Model
  • Shipped with Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 10th generation processors depending on configuration
  • Sold with either an HD or full HD 15.6-inch display, non-touch

Prefer a visual check? The 3593 has a plain black or platinum silver plastic chassis with a single hinge running the width of the lid, no backlit keyboard on entry builds, and a rounded speaker grille above the keyboard rather than side-firing speakers. There is no metal top cover on this line, unlike Dell's XPS or higher-end Inspiron models.

Core hardware configurations

Processor

  • Intel Core i3 10th Gen.
  • Intel Core i5 10th Gen.
  • Intel Core i7 10th Gen.

The i7 configuration holds the most resale value, followed by i5. The i3 tier was the volume seller and is the most common trade-in.

Memory

  • Shipped with 4GB to 12GB of DDR4 depending on configuration
  • Higher-RAM builds command a noticeably stronger offer

Storage

  • Entry configurations used a 1TB, 5400rpm mechanical hard drive
  • Faster builds shipped with a SATA solid-state drive
  • A unit with an SSD will consistently test faster and appraise higher than an identical HDD build

Display & audio

15.6-inch display, offered in either standard HD (1366x768) or full HD (1920x1080) resolution depending on the configuration ordered. Both panels use an anti-glare, non-touch finish.

Stereo speakers sit above the keyboard, tuned with Waves MaxxAudio software. Output is adequate for video calls and casual listening rather than media production.

Ports & connectivity

The 3593 keeps a fuller port selection than most laptops released since, which is one reason it still sees regular use as a secondary machine.

Battery, build & more

Battery: A 3-cell battery rated for light to moderate daily use. Age and charge cycles affect real-world runtime, and a battery that no longer holds a charge is still worth disclosing rather than hiding, since it is factored into the condition grade, not disqualifying on its own.

Build: All-plastic chassis in black or platinum silver, roughly 15.9 inches wide and under an inch thick. It is not built for daily travel abuse, so check hinge tightness and screen flex before grading condition.

Software: Shipped with Windows 10 Home. Units still on Windows 10 should have accounts removed before resale, since a new owner will want to sign in fresh or upgrade to Windows 11 where supported.

Known issues: The base HD display looks noticeably washed out next to the full HD option, and the mechanical hard drive configuration feels slow by modern standards. Neither is a defect, just a limitation of the entry build.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number and exact configuration?
Check the sticker on the bottom panel for the Service Tag and Express Service Code, which Dell's support site can look up against your full factory configuration. Inside Windows, press Windows key + R, type msinfo32, and press enter to see "Inspiron 3593" listed under System Model, along with installed RAM and processor. If you want a broader walkthrough for Dell laptops in general, this guide to finding your Dell model number covers other model families too.
02 How do I tell it apart from the Inspiron 3583?
The 3583 is the previous year's model in the same budget line, and the two look nearly identical from the outside. The reliable difference is the processor generation: the 3583 uses 8th generation Intel chips, while the 3593 uses 10th generation. Checking System Information (msinfo32) in Windows will confirm the exact model number directly, which is more reliable than judging by appearance alone.
03 Can I sell it with damage, a weak battery, or if it won't turn on?
Yes. A cracked screen, a battery that no longer holds a charge, or a unit that won't power on can all still be sold, and the condition picker above adjusts the quote to reflect it honestly. Before shipping, remove any Microsoft account link to the device and sign out fully, since a locked account can prevent us from testing and paying for the unit. If you're not sure the laptop qualifies at all, request a custom quote and describe the issue directly.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
The processor tier and storage type move the offer the most. An i5 or i7 configuration with a solid-state drive will consistently appraise higher than an i3 with a mechanical hard drive. Beyond the hardware itself, a clean chassis with no cracks, a battery that still holds a reasonable charge, and a fully erased drive with accounts removed all keep the condition grade higher, since those are the things a buyer will notice within minutes of powering it on.
05 How do I erase it and get paid?
Go to Settings → System → Recovery, then choose Reset this PC and select "Remove everything" with a full drive clean rather than a quick reset. Before that, sign out of your Microsoft account and remove the device from account.microsoft.com/devices, and suspend BitLocker if it's enabled so the reset completes without asking for a recovery key. Once the laptop is confirmed here, print the prepaid shipping label, pack the unit, and send it in. Shipping is free and insured, and payment goes out after testing by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check. For the full breakdown of what gets wiped and how, see our data erasure protocols.
