It's a locked down walled garden limiting what the user can change and restricting software to ONLY those titles available in the Microsoft Store. Luckily, it's simple command line script to change from S-Mode to plain old windows (It's a one-way operation - you can't change back - but no one in their right mind would want to go back to S-Mode).

Great For Your Personal and Business Endeavors!
Overall, great product and would recommend! I have no complaints for the "Dell - Inspiron 15 3520 Touch" Laptop. It meets all of my personal and business endeavors. Work, school, and entertainment such as movies and music. Multitasking is a necessity for me and it meets my standards with 8GB of RAM (Random Access Memory.) One point I will take away is that the keys on the Keyboard do not light up, so it makes it a bit of a challenge to see what keys to press when I am not in a well lit area or simply desire for my room lights to be turned off unless I tilt the monitor in an uncomfortable position. It would have also been great if this PC had at least one USB-C port, but I can suffice with 3 USB-A ports. The touch screen feature is perfect and the sensitivity is precise. I love how the screen is also able to easily open with little resistance, and the henges are on firmly so I do not have to worry about striping the screen from the base of henges. It does not concern me to much that the laptop (specifically around the screen and keyboard area) is mainly consisting of plastic since I will be the only one using this PC.

Disappointed With Dell
This was my first time buying a Dell laptop and it will be my last. I purchased it in December 2023 on a recommendation from a friend who has owned a Dell Inspiron for 8 years and had no problems with it. So I didn't think I needed an extended warranty. The one year warranty that came with it seemed sufficient. When I took it out of the box I noticed how thin and flimsy it felt when opening the cover. Not at all like my friend's laptop. After only a year and a half one hinge broke and the frame detached in the corner. It's pretty bad as you can see from the photo and I can't close the laptop anymore. I'm careful with my electronics and know to open covers from the middle and not the sides to keep the hinges on track. So I see this as a manufacturing defect and not human error. In all fairness, other than the hinge breaking, everything else works as it should, but I still won't buy another Dell.
