Windows set up was exceptionally difficult. Cheaply made laptop. The mouse pad is a really hard click. Have to click it 10 times at least.

Hi Hanban,
We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review of your Inspiron 3515. We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing an issue with your setup and your touchpad. That is surely not the type of feedback we like to hear from our customers. We have noted the details of your statement and will use them to improve current and future products. Below I have provided steps to help resolve the issue with your touchpad and a link for help setting up your device. Some Notebooks and Tablets with Keyboards have added gesture features to the touchpad hardware and drivers. A few of these features are two or three finger scrolling, pinch zoom, circle zoom, rotate and swiping. These new features may be the reason for the erratic cursor movement since most are turned on by default. You can disable or modify the way the features work in the touchpad driver properties. Here are some tips to modify these settings:
1. In the Search box, type main.cpl.
2. Touch or click main.cpl in the list of programs.
3. Touch or click the Dell Touchpad tab.
4. Touch or click on the picture of the touchpad.
5. Touch or click Gestures (depending on your computer there may not be a Gestures option).
6. Change the options as preferred.
7. Touch or click Save.
8. Touch or click the X in the upper-right corner to close the Dell Touchpad Utility.
9. Touch or click OK on the Mouse Properties window.
10. If the touchpad still does not work after following the preceding steps, refer to Dell Knowledge Base article - http://dell.to/2iaiujA.

This is a decent laptop for the price. On the plus side, good battery life and speed are okay. However, the display is dim and grainy, the sound is barely audible, and the keyboard is not lit. It is a major downgrade from my previous Lenovo. I have always bought relatively inexpensive laptops but this one is really bare bones.

I bought two of these. One day i opened, frame came off the screen rendering laptop unusable, Low and behold 2nd laptop did the same thing. Bought one thru Dell the other through Best buy. Dell fixed #1 said #2 was not their problem. Not Best Buys fault!

I really liked the laptop, it works well. It handles a lot open websites together at a time. However, the hinge kept breaking everytime. The outside parts are pretty bad, should use more durable items.

The computer is good. The issue is with the mouse. The left side mouse pad always sticks down and you have to maneuver/twist the keyboard around to try to get it to release.

I’ve had this computer for a year and a half and it’s already on its way out. I’m in school full time and it easily takes chrome and edge 5 minutes to load. This is my first windows laptop in 15 years and I’m going back to the brand that has a fruit logo. I

I bought this Laptop PC for work and I really liked everything about it except the screen is not a good resolution and is hard for me to read. I do not wear glasses for reading or computer use so I was disappointed to know that the return policy was only for 15 days and not actually 30 days anymore. I guess I am stuck trying to find someone to purchase it off of FB Marketplace.

It is a low cost laptop, but the screen is so bad I am returning it. I have not seen a screen this bad in 15 years. Very washed out. Maybe I got a defective one, but even the really cheap chromebooks have a decent screen.

DELL inspiron i3515-A706BLK-PUS was purchased due to an emergency that required using Windows. Within a week, OneDrive, Office 365, and Teams repeatedly crashed and would reboot the system. After 2 weeks the HDMI port no longer isbeing recognized by external displays. Worth trying for $350, but expect what you pay for. I hope to return it.

Hello AmyF,
We would like to thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We apologize for the troubles you have encountered with your Inspiron 3515 laptop because its display is not bright and clear, and the battery life is shorter than you expected.
Below I have provided the steps to run a diagnostic test on the display and the full article link, which has more options if they are needed. We also suggest making sure all video drivers are up to date on your PC. I have given you a link to the Drivers and Downloads page for your computer below.
Method 1
1. Power off the Dell Laptop PC.
2. Disconnect any peripherals that are connected to the PC, and connect the AC Adapter (charger) to the PC.
3. Make sure that the LCD screen is clean (no dust particles are on the surface of the screen).
4. Press and hold D key and power on the PC to enter LCD built-in self test (BIST) mode.
Continue to hold the D key until you see the entire screen change colors.
5. The screen changes colors to black, white, red, green, and blue.
6. Carefully inspect the screen for abnormalities.
7. Press Esc key to exit.

You do have the option to enable or disable this mode within settings or within advanced Battery Saver settings, you can customize the mode to best suit your needs.
a) Click on the Action Center icon in the taskbar and select the tile for Battery Saver.
b) If running Cortana then type Battery Saver into the search box and select from the results.
Within the Battery Saver settings page, you will be able to turn on and off the feature and customize the feature to best meet your needs.
c) Turn the Battery Saver On or Off.
d) Additional settings are available via the Battery use and Battery saver settings links.
e) Battery use shows further info on apps and their power usage.
f) Battery Saver Settings screen allows you to customize further Battery Saver features.
