The Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Series 5570 launched in 2018 as a mainstream 15.6-inch laptop built for everyday computing — schoolwork, spreadsheets, browser tabs, and streaming, with enough headroom for light photo editing. Dell offered the 5570 with an 8th Gen Intel Core i7 processor at the top of the lineup, paired with either a standard non-touch display or a touchscreen panel. That configuration flexibility, along with modular RAM and storage, is part of why the 5570 still turns up in the resale market: a well-kept unit with a working battery and a solid-state drive can still handle general use without feeling dated. If you have one sitting in a drawer, pick your processor and display configuration and condition above for an instant cash offer, or see how the process works before you commit.

Confirm you have the Inspiron 15 5570

The fastest way to confirm your exact configuration is through Windows itself. Go to Settings → System → About to see the installed processor and RAM, or press the Windows key + R, type dxdiag, and press Enter to see the system model and graphics adapter. The Dell Service Tag, printed on a sticker on the bottom panel, ties the machine to its exact factory configuration and is the most reliable identifier if you plan to check specs through Dell's support site.

Non-Touch display

  • Standard FHD 1920x1080 anti-glare panel
  • Paired with Intel Core i7 8th Gen configurations
  • Confirm via Settings → System → Display, which will not list a touch digitizer

Touchscreen display

  • FHD 1920x1080 touch-enabled panel with a glossy glass surface
  • Same Core i7 8th Gen processor option as the non-touch build
  • Confirm via Settings → System → Display, or by swiping the screen directly

Prefer a visual check? The touchscreen version has an edge-to-edge glossy glass front with almost no visible bezel gap, while the non-touch version has a matte, slightly recessed display with a visible plastic bezel. The touch model is also a bit heavier in hand once you lift the lid.

Core hardware configurations

Processor

  • Intel Core i7, 8th Generation
  • Dual-core with Hyper-Threading, suited to multitasking rather than heavy compute work

Graphics

  • Intel UHD Graphics 620 integrated on base builds
  • Some configurations pair the i7 with an AMD Radeon 530 discrete GPU
  • A discrete GPU configuration generally moves resale value more than RAM alone

Memory (RAM)

  • DDR4 memory across SO-DIMM slots
  • Upgradable by the user in most builds — worth checking before you sell

Storage

  • Configurations shipped with a 2.5-inch SATA drive, an M.2 SSD, or a dual-drive combo
  • A unit with a solid-state drive as primary storage is worth more than one still running on a spinning hard drive

Display & audio

Display

A 15.6-inch Full HD 1920x1080 panel, offered as either a matte non-touch screen or a glossy touch-enabled screen. Neither version pushes into 4K territory, which keeps battery draw modest for the size.

Audio

Stereo speakers tuned with Waves MaxxAudio Pro software, adequate for video calls and casual media playback but not built for bass-heavy listening.

Ports & connectivity

The 5570 relies entirely on USB-A and legacy connectors — there is no USB-C or Thunderbolt on this generation, which matters if you rely on modern docks or chargers.

Battery, build & more

Battery

A 3-cell lithium-ion battery ships standard. Battery health is one of the first things we test, since a pack that no longer holds a reasonable charge affects the offer.

Dimensions & weight

A full-size 15.6-inch chassis in the mid-four-pound range, with touchscreen configurations weighing a bit more than the non-touch version due to the added digitizer layer.

Software

Shipped with Windows 10, either Home or Pro depending on configuration. A clean, activated Windows install with your accounts removed is what buyers expect on arrival.

Known issues

Units still running on the original mechanical hard drive tend to feel sluggish by today's standards. It's a common and worthwhile upgrade path, and it's the single biggest thing separating a slow 5570 from a genuinely usable one.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number and exact configuration?
Check the Dell Service Tag sticker on the bottom panel, which identifies the exact factory build. In Windows, go to Settings → System → About for the processor and installed RAM, or press the Windows key + R, type dxdiag, and press Enter to confirm the graphics adapter and system model. Between the Service Tag and dxdiag, you'll know whether you have the discrete Radeon 530 graphics option, how much RAM is installed, and whether your display is touch or non-touch — all details worth confirming before you pick a configuration above.
02 How do I tell it apart from the Inspiron 15 5580?
The 5580 is the direct successor to the 5570 and shares a similar chassis, which makes the two easy to mix up. The clearest tell is the Service Tag sticker on the bottom, which states the model directly. Physically, the 5580 introduced a USB-C port alongside the USB-A ports, something the 5570 does not have at all. If your laptop has no USB-C port anywhere on its sides, you're almost certainly holding a 5570 rather than a 5580.
03 Can I sell it with damage, a cracked screen, or a weak battery?
Yes. Cracked screens, weak batteries, and units that won't power on can still be sold — the condition picker above adjusts the quote to reflect it rather than rejecting the device outright. What can't ship as-is is a locked account. Before sending it in, sign out of your Microsoft account and, if BitLocker is enabled, make sure it's either decrypted or that you can provide the recovery key, since a locked or encrypted drive we can't access affects what we're able to pay.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
A working display and battery matter most, since both are costly to replace and directly affect usability. Beyond that, a solid-state drive as the primary storage device raises the offer compared to an original mechanical hard drive, and the discrete Radeon 530 graphics configuration is worth more than a base integrated-graphics build. Including the original charger and keeping the chassis free of cracks or heavy scuffing also helps, since cosmetic condition is one of the factors the picker above accounts for.
05 How do I erase it, remove my accounts, and get paid?
Go to Settings → System → Recovery → Reset this PC and choose to remove everything, which wipes personal files and reinstalls Windows. Before that, remove the device from your Microsoft account under Settings → Accounts, and if BitLocker is turned on, suspend or decrypt it so the drive isn't locked for the next owner. Once accepted, shipping is free and insured — print the label, box it up, and send it in. Payment goes out after testing, by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check.
