The Dell 15 (DC15250) is a 15-inch everyday laptop announced in 2025. Every value below is from Dell's specification document, re-typed into our own table. A chassis is sold in many configurations, so screen, memory and graphics are listed as the options the maker offers.

*Notes from the document: Dell gives only a maximum weight (4.19 lb plastic, 4.28 lb aluminium). Thickness is front / rear for the plastic chassis. The configuration shown has a non-backlit keyboard and one 8 GB DDR5 module. USB-C is 5 Gbps; DisplayPort and charging over it only on the aluminium chassis. From the owner's manual: two SODIMM slots (DDR4 or DDR5), 16 GB at most; one M.2 2230 SSD; 65 W barrel adapter; backlight and the fingerprint reader (in the power button) are options. The manual gives 99 keys for the US layout, a count only a keyboard with a numeric keypad reaches. Dell product page: https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/laptop-computers/spd/dell15laptopdc15250*

## Size: will it fit your bag?

Closed, it measures **14.11 × 9.27 in** (35.8 × 23.5 cm) and is 0.67–0.75 in thick. A sleeve or laptop compartment needs inner dimensions at least that large; bag makers size compartments by screen class, and chassis in one class differ, so check the numbers, not the label. We list 5 laptops in the 15-inch class: 13.4–14.11 in wide, 9.27–10.03 in deep and 3.28–4.6 lb.
