Background and Identification
The Inspiron 15R N5010 (also referred to without the “R,” as in “Inspiron 15 N5010”) is a laptop released by Dell around the year 2010. It has a 15.6-inch screen with a resolution of 1366x768 pixels. The body of the laptop is black with some models having a silver section surrounding the keyboard. The back of the display comes in various colors including red, blue, or a black that matches the rest of the case. The keyboard stretches almost the whole width of the device, with a dedicated numpad sitting to the right of the alphabetic keys.
For processing power, the Inspiron 15R N5010 uses an Intel processor (either a Pentium or a Core i3/i5/i7) paired with a dedicated ATI Radeon graphics card. Many components in the laptop can be replaced or upgraded, and Dell has a service manual for the N5101 that includes nice instructions for opening the device and performing these exchanges. The battery is attached to the back of the laptop and can be detached with a few clasps. The memory is likewise easy to access in its position behind a simple cover on the bottom of the laptop. Two SO-DIMM slots allow you to fit up to 8 GB of memory in the machine.
You can identify this laptop by looking on the bottom for a sticker containing the model name “Inspiron N5010” located on the bottom of the device. You can also find the service tag and service code (a.k.a. serial number) here, which you can use on Dell’s support website for complete information about the laptop.
