Its convertible design allows it to adapt to various modes, including Notebook, Tablet, Stand, and Tent, providing flexibility for work, entertainment, and presentations.

Function Description

The Inspiron 7586 serves as a personal computer, offering standard computing functionalities such as web browsing, document creation, media consumption, and communication. It features an integrated camera and microphones for video conferencing and recording. Audio output is provided by left and right speakers, with an internal speaker amplifier for enhanced sound. The device supports external displays through an HDMI port and a USB 3.1 Gen 1 (Type-C) port with Power Delivery/DisplayPort capabilities, allowing users to extend their workspace or connect to larger screens.

For data storage, the Inspiron 7586 includes options for a 2.5-inch hard drive and an M.2 2280/2230 solid-state drive. It also supports Intel Optane memory, which functions as a storage accelerator to improve system responsiveness. A media-card reader is integrated for convenient access to data from SD cards.

Connectivity options include USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports for connecting peripherals like external storage and printers, and a USB 3.1 Gen 1 (Type-C) port that supports both data transfer and power delivery, enabling faster charging for compatible devices. Wireless communication is handled by an Intel wireless module supporting Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac and Bluetooth 5.0.

The device is powered by a power adapter connected to a dedicated port, and it includes a battery for portable use. A power and battery-status light indicates the battery's charge status and hard-drive activity.

Usage Features

The Inspiron 7586 is designed for intuitive interaction. The touchpad provides a responsive surface for navigation, with distinct left-click and right-click areas. It supports various touchpad gestures for Windows 10, enhancing user efficiency. The keyboard is backlit, making it suitable for use in low-light conditions, and features a QWERTY layout. Shortcut keys provide quick access to functions such as volume control, media playback, display switching, search, keyboard backlight toggle, brightness adjustment, wireless control, scroll lock, Fn-key lock, pause/break, sleep, system request, and the application menu.

A notable feature is the power button, which integrates a fingerprint reader for secure and convenient login. Users can customize the power-button behavior in Windows to suit their preferences. The display is a touch-enabled panel, available in Full HD or Ultra HD, with support for an MPP Pen (sold separately) for more precise input. The display also includes a camera and dual microphones for video calls and voice commands. The camera-status light indicates when the camera is active.

The 2-in-1 design allows for multiple usage scenarios:

  • Notebook mode: Standard laptop configuration for productivity tasks.
  • Tablet mode: The screen folds back completely, transforming the device into a tablet for touch-based interaction.
  • Stand mode: The device is set up like a tent, ideal for watching movies or presentations.
  • Tent mode: Similar to stand mode, offering another configuration for media consumption or presentations.
