Dell Inspiron laptop, graphics acceleration question

The answer is almost certainly yes. If you have graphical display output of any kind, you have graphics acceleration.
The real question is 'how much acceleration does it have?' or 'what graphics acceleration hardware does it have?'
For that information, you need to show the support tag or at least the info continuum asked for about the device manager.
What you have asked so far is basically equivalent to "I have a Ford. How fast can it go?"

It's also highly unlikely that an Inspiron would have any graphics other than the one built into the CPU, which as Paladin notes is some graphics acceleration but it's not much graphics acceleration in comparison to other computers with a separate graphics chip.
However if it's one of the newest models, the latest Intel CPUs (most common), even lower-end (maybe not bottom tier), have quite passable GPU power if you don't mind lower resolutions and settings or are playing older games. Day and night improvement over models from a few years ago. And if it's an AMD processor then the GPU in all models is pretty good, especially the newest.
Reminds me of the days when it referred to 2D graphics.
Made me think of something funny (to me): You guys got 2D? We only got 1D, and we had to choose which one when we turned on the computer.
