The Dell Inspiron 15 5591 2-in-1 (2020) is a convertible laptop built for owners who wanted a touchscreen and a 360-degree hinge without stepping up to Dell's XPS line. It pairs a 10th generation Intel Core processor with a 15.6-inch touch display that folds flat into tablet mode, making it a practical daily driver for browsing, coursework, and general office work rather than gaming or GPU-heavy editing. The 5591 chassis designation carries across both the Core i5 and Core i7 configurations sold under this name. Years after release, it still holds resale value because the hinge, keyboard, and integrated graphics still cover what most home and student users actually need. Pick your processor and condition in the selector above for an instant cash offer, see how the process works before you commit, and check what similar Dell laptops are worth if you're clearing out more than one machine.

Confirm you have the Inspiron 15 5591 2-in-1

The fastest way to confirm this model on Windows is Settings → System → About, where the "Device specifications" panel lists the device name and installed processor. For the full system model string, press Windows key + R, type msinfo32, and check the "System Model" field, which reads Inspiron 5591 on this chassis. Dell also stamps a service tag on the underside of the base. Entering that tag on Dell's support site pulls the exact factory build sheet, including which processor, memory, and storage shipped originally.

5591 with Core i5-10210U

  • Quad-core, 10th generation Intel processor
  • Integrated Intel UHD Graphics
  • Same 15.6-inch touch display and 360-degree hinge as the i7 build

5591 with Core i7-10510U

  • Quad-core, 10th generation Intel processor
  • Integrated Intel UHD Graphics
  • Higher clock speed and Turbo Boost ceiling than the i5 build

Prefer a visual check? The 5591 2-in-1 has a full 360-degree hinge that lets the screen fold flat behind the keyboard, a feature the standard clamshell Inspiron 5590 does not have. Look for a single hinge spanning the width of the lid in a silver or platinum finish, and a display that responds to finger or stylus touch.

Core hardware configurations

Processor

  • Intel Core i5-10210U, 4 cores / 8 threads
  • Intel Core i7-10510U, 4 cores / 8 threads, higher boost clock
  • The i7 configuration commands the stronger resale price

Graphics

  • Integrated Intel UHD Graphics on both processor options
  • Handles browsing, video, and office workloads; not built for gaming or heavy rendering

Memory & storage

  • DDR4 system memory
  • PCIe NVMe solid-state storage
  • A higher memory tier and larger SSD both move the cash offer up

Display & audio

15.6-inch Full HD (1920x1080) touchscreen mounted on a 360-degree hinge, letting the laptop fold into tablet, tent, or stand modes.

Stereo speakers tuned with Waves MaxxAudio, fine for calls and casual video but not a substitute for headphones on music.

Fingerprint reader built into the power button for Windows Hello sign-in, standard across the 5591 2-in-1 line.

Ports & connectivity

The 5591 2-in-1 keeps a full-size port selection rather than trimming down for its convertible hinge.

Battery, build & more

Sealed lithium-ion battery, not meant to be swapped by the owner. Battery health is one of the first things we test, since a convertible hinge sees more daily open-close cycles than a clamshell laptop.

Convertible aluminum-topped chassis with a full 360-degree hinge, sold mainly in silver and platinum silver finishes.

Shipped with Windows 10. The 10th generation Core i5 and i7 chips meet the processor requirement for Windows 11, though the upgrade also depends on TPM 2.0 being enabled in the BIOS.

Positioned as a mid-range convertible when new, aimed at students and home users who wanted a touchscreen and tablet mode without paying for Dell's premium XPS 2-in-1 line.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number or exact configuration?
Go to Settings → System → About to see the device name and installed processor, or press Windows key + R and type msinfo32 to view the full "System Model" string, which reads Inspiron 5591 on this chassis. That same panel lists installed RAM and can be cross-checked against Task Manager's Performance tab for storage size. Dell also prints a service tag on a sticker underneath the laptop. Entering that tag on Dell's support site returns the original factory configuration, including whether it shipped with the i5 or i7 processor.
02 How do I tell it apart from the Inspiron 15 5590?
The clearest difference is the hinge. The 5591 2-in-1 folds a full 360 degrees so the screen lies flat behind the keyboard, while the standard 5590 is a fixed clamshell that opens to roughly 135 degrees at most. The 5591's display is also touch-enabled, while most 5590 configurations are not. If you're not sure from the outside, Settings → System → About or msinfo32 will show the exact system model and settle it in a few seconds.
03 Can I sell it with damage, a weak battery, or an account lock?
Yes. A cracked screen, a battery that drains fast, or a unit that won't power on can still be sold; the condition picker above adjusts the offer for exactly that. What can't be worked around is an active Microsoft account lock or unresolved BitLocker encryption tied to your sign-in. Remove the laptop from your Microsoft account and make sure you can access it without a password prompt tied to your identity before shipping. A device we can't get past login for cannot be tested or resold.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
Processor and cosmetic condition move the offer more than any accessory does. An i7-10510U configuration outvalues an i5-10210U build in the same shape, and a unit with a clean screen, working hinge, and no cracks scores higher than one with visible wear, even if both power on fine. A healthy, unswollen battery matters more here than on a clamshell laptop, since the hinge sees heavier daily flexing. Including the original charger helps, though it is not required to get a quote.
05 How do I erase it and get paid?
Back up anything you want to keep, then go to Settings → System → Recovery → Reset this PC and choose "Remove everything." Before that finishes, sign in to account.microsoft.com and remove this device from your Microsoft account, and if BitLocker is on, suspend or decrypt it so the reset isn't blocked. Once the reset completes, the drive is wiped and the device is no longer tied to you. Shipping to us is free and insured, and payment goes out after testing by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check. Full step-by-step guidance lives on our data erasure protocols page.
