Whats Included
  • Dell Inspiron 15 7579 2-in-1
  • 3-cell battery
  • Power adapter

Q: Does it have a SD card slot

A: This will have a media card slot.

Q: Is there a way that I can turn off the light on the backlit keyboard, or is it lighted all the time?

A: Yes, you can turn it off, and there are two brightness levels. F10 button. By default, the [F] Keys operate to control the alternate functions, such as volume, Display brightness, etc. I went into settings though and turned this off so that the [F] keys function as [F] keys. In this case [Fn] +F10 controls the keyboard backlight.

Q: Is this a signature edition? No bloat ware.

A: No bloatware. Very clean install. Just let them know which browser you want to use or else it will default to MS Edge.

Q: Does this unit support usb-c charging. Charging laptop from usb-c port.

A: I found no information on the internet indicating this laptop could be charged from the usb-c port other than here at Best Buy.com. I have already purchased this laptop from Best Buy, model:I7579-7171GRY. I called Dell support and gave them my Service Tag. I asked if this device was capable of being charged via usb-c. They reported it can only be charged with the DC charge port. Although this conflicts with the first two answers here on Best Buy, I will not be wasting money on a usb-c docking station if Dell tells me directly it is not capable of this feature. I hope this helps.

Q: is this laptop pen compatible

A: Yes, the laptop is compatible with Stylus pens.

Q: I am looking for a reliable/fast enough laptop to mainly edit videos (unsure of what program I will be using on the new device, so suggestions appreciated!) and that isn't entirely too heavy as I travel often. Besides that, everyday use. Is this good?

A: It MAY be possible to edit videos on this, but I wouldn't suggest relying on this as your ONLY edit system. There are so many variables that affect this equation: -Resolution of source media, how it was encoded, size of media files -What editing app you're using (check the MINIMUM HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS for your edit software-of-choice) -Editing apps lean heavily on the CPU, but can also hand off some workload to a graphics card (GPU)-- but this 2-in-1 laptop has a very basic integrated video card (not made for high-end video/graphics work) I use Adobe Premiere, which loves lots of RAM and relies heavily on the strength of the CPU. The maximum RAM for this HP Envy is 16gb, which is probably a bare minimum for Premiere. And the CPU is designed for the low-power, low-heat requirements of a portable computer, so all this probably doesn't add up to a fast, responsive edit system.

Q: Since the speakers are on the bottom, do they get too muffled when you hold it in your lap?

A: To me, they sound the same, nothing affects even though the speaker are on the bottom. I put on my laps, table, my bed, they all sound the same on any surface. Hope it help

Q: New computer for Christmas, battery is charged but only lasts 1.5 hours any ideas why?

A: Sounds like you have a lemon. There should be no reason for that.
