Dell has been pushing its Inspiron 7000 series notebooks as mid-range gaming notebook products in a move to take on rivals Acer, Asustek and MSI. Dell already has its Alienware brand aiming for the top-end gaming market.

Alienware's gaming products are too pricey to compete against the cheaper vendors' mid-range models so Dell has thought that he needed another line for the mid-range gaming market,

The latest Inspiron 14 7000 and Inspiron 15 7000, has a Chipzilla quad-core i7 processor, 1TB hard disc drive, 256GB SSD, 74Whr battery and Nvidia GeForce GTX-level discrete graphics card with 4GB GDDR5 memory. Both notebooks are priced starting $1,195.

The move makes a fair bit of sense. Razer has seen that it has the same problem and has partnered with Lenovo to push its lower-level gaming notebooks.
