It is a decent computer for average use
I'm not an average user. I'm a software developer but I do not code at home. I'm just using the computer for entertainment (watching/streaming videos, browsing). I was hesitant at first to go with Dell since I was an HP user for more than 5 years even though we use Dell at work. Anyway, I was not ready to buy an expensive one yet after getting frustrated with a premium HP Envy last November 2015 from HP (returned due to IPS backlight bleeding on 2 units and very heavy 17.3 inch). I was planning to buy in June. Unfortunately, my HP Pavilion decided not to start anymore. I think my HDD got busted and it wouldn't boot. So, given the circumstance, I had no choice but to pick a good one that is not expensive. The nearest tech store is BestBuy. After sorting by price on my mobile phone, I landed on this Dell. It's not even on sale at 499.99. Build Anyway, it's not that heavy due to it's plastic inner build. The outside still resembles a bit premium. The entire bottom is black plastic. The top is made of aluminum that is not shiny that helps on your grip. It's not a fancy-looking machine but it does the job. What I like is the ability to replace the battery. And I believe it is easy to add more memory into it, just remove the bottom cover and that's it. In some computers, you need to remove a lot of things to reach the memory slot. That might even void the warranty. This comes with 1 year warranty. Keyboard It's usable, typical of a Dell keyboard layout. It has a full number keys. It has backlight as well using F10. There are 3 settings, on, a little bit brighter, off. It's fine. I'm using an external wireless keyboard. RAM/Processor I think 6GB RAM for this i5 seems adequate enough for an average user. However, I'm not your average user. I have 3 different browsers opened (Chrome, Opera, Firefox) with at least 2 tabs. And I have another Chrome window with at least 5 tabs. I'm also watching a movie. Avast is running in the background. And my windows explorer is opened. I have roughly 63% CPU usage, 71% Memory usage, 7% Disk usage and about 1% network usage. I'm a bit impressed. Now, I sometimes run CCleaner and MalwareBytes (very I/O intensive use) and that normally hits 100% CPU. In the future, I might add more memory into this machine. Screen I seldom use the touchscreen but that's nice to have. The screen may not be as crisp as the IPS screens, but you cannot complain at this price point. It's just an able screen. The texts are still readable at the highest recommended resolution. It's a glossy screen so expect reflection and fingerprints. That's why I don't use the touchscreen. I'm faster when typing with both hands and with the use of a mouse. If I need to use touch, that only means I'm outside and I won't be using this computer for that. It doesn't look cheap either. Although the resolution of this computer is not full HD, it's still fine. You won't worry about backlight bleeding since it'ns not an IPS screen. It's still a good screen that does it job. I'm also not using that screen since I'm using a 29-inch LG (full HD widescreen format) via HDMI. So, HDMI is working. Wifi/Ports I have tested all ports and they're working. I'm not sure which one is the USB 3 port. I really hope there are more USB ports. I need at least 4. It does not have the USB-C yet. Sound Sound is audible and loud enough. I don't expect it to fill a concert hall. It's enough for watching movies/listening to music upclose. Webcam I haven't really used the webcam yet. The only time I used it was when during registration when you can substitiute your face for logging in. It's working so far. I don't need to type the password anymore. I wished there's a fingerprint scanner like in HP where you can use that to log into other sites. Battery I haven't drained it yet. It came with charge. I won't be able to know how long it will last since I'm always plugged in. Anyway, it's easy to replace the battery. I'm glad the power adapter is not those huge bricks. It's small with a green LED light on it. Touchpad I'm not a touchpad person so I really can't comment much besides saying it worked when I used it. It's also a bit wider. Quite? It's just my first day using this and I'm already hammering it. It's not 100% quiet. You hear something if you listen to it carefully. I think that's the HDD. It's not SSD so booting is not fast. I'd say more than 30 seconds to boot up. Shutting down seems to take some time as well. From time to time, I hear the fan for a few seconds. It's not as annoying as my previous HP laptop where the fan is at 100% all the time. Heat I've been running for several hours now and I notice the heat is only on the QWERTY side of the keyboard. It's not too hot. I think you can survive putting this computer on your lap. Conclusion For the price, I'd say this is a good budget computer. It's a capable machine if you cannot afford those premiums ones.

Bang for your buck...
The laptop is fast and has all the "bells and whistles" that other more expensive laptops have such as Keyboard Backlit (I really wanted that in my new computer), Intel Realsense 3D camera, very sleek design (in my opinion this is actually a beautiful and well built laptop), free webroot internet security (not that I'm fond of webroot) but it was included free, and not to forget Touchscreen technoloy. It also has up 7 hours battery life but I have not tested it yet. The screen brightness is not as bright as my previous laptop and there are other laptop computers with much brighter screens. I feel it can be at least 10% to 20% brighter, but I won't knock the computer for it because the price is $599 and it is still well worth it. I was at Bestbuy for over an hour looking for the best deal without exceeding $1000 budget. I am happy and I believe you will be too. I got the 2 year extended warranty just to be safe as I almost always do for electronics.

my first laptop
This is my first laptop I purchased. It was an open box purchase. I wanted touchscreen and the biggest one I could get for my budget. I like the specifications i5 6200u, 6 GB Ram, and Large hard drive. At first, I thought that all i5 were quad core until I did more research. I discovered the mobile i5 6200u is a dual core simulating a quad core. Also discovered the i7 6500u is a dual core simulating a quad core found in laptops more expensive than this one. The computer seems to operate fine. The memory is expandable to 16GB, I think the hard drive can be upgradable to a solid state drive (SSD). I like the following/features: 1) HDMI--able to watch on big TV or use two monitors 2) USB 2.0-- wireless mouse, Hauppauge tuner, printer, 3) USB 3.0-- My experience only: it transfers 4-6 GB videos to USB 3.0 flash drive 4 times faster than USB 2.0 4) Ethernet-- I use this about 90% of the time 5) Bluetooth--connect to blue tooth speakers, headphones, keyboard 6) Touch pad--works smoothly 7) Backlit keyboard-- very nice in dark situations--Fn+F10 to turn off and on 8) card reader-- camera to pc 9) sound is good enough or better then usual 10) I like the ability to rotate screen with keyboard Ctrl + Alt+ up/down/left/righ arrow keys Touch screen-- is fairly responsive with certain stylus. I seem to have great success with Targus Stylus. Overall, I like the product very much. It works good with Microsoft products and services. Works well with programs I acquired.
