Fast Core I7 processor, 12Gigs of memory, and a 512 GB solid state drive. Very flexible to be used as a laptop and a touch screen tablet. It can hold a lot of photos!

My first laptop with SSD Drive. With i7 Processor 12 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD Drive this laptop is lightning fast compared to my traditional i3 Processor 8GB RAM and 1TB Hard Drive laptop. I'm enjoying it and getting more things done. And it is reasonably priced versus the Dell Higher version with the same specs. Except the screen resolution which is irrelevant with my use. HD screen is good enough.

Disclaimer: I do not give 5 stars unless it is life changing and works without any flaws. I also purchase this laptop on September 3, 2016 and writing the review on November 24, 2016. Pictures are from my iPhone. Screen does NOT look like that. Wanted to show the screen size while on. I read every review and checked multiple sites (Amazon, Dell, MicroCenter, and Consumer Report) to make sure which laptop to buy to replace my 10 year old Dell laptop. Below are some of the things I was concerned and liked about while picking out a computer with my response in (...) after purchasing it. Concerns: -Black lines showed up on screen (Update the video drive and this takes care of the issue) -Battery life (I have seen great use out of it. Adjust screen settings to dimmer and also have the screen turn off after few minutes of activity, based on what you are planning to use it for, for example surfing the internet) -Sound quality (Works great. Sounds slightly different than the speakers facing right at me. Getting use to them but I wouldn't return it because of the sound) Power button (Still not fully use to it as occasionally I will hit it as I am adjusting my laptop. Not sure their thinking behind this one) What I liked about it: -Solid State Drive (Absolute must when considering a new laptop. Still love it for the price I got. Light and easy while extremely fast) -Adjusting from Laptop to tablet (Haven't used the tablet side as much. Works great when I have used it) -Speed (Extremely fast. I got the i7 with the 1TB hard drive.) -WORKS FOR GOPRO VIDEOS (I have been searching for the right laptop that is the best bang for my dollar. This is the ideal computer. I am not an avid video maker as their are plenty of better ones for the more advance video maker. This is exactly what I am looking for as occasionally I will go on a trip and want to put something together. Excellent) Overall: I had some slight concerns after reading the product reviews but after taking the dive, I am glad I did. After the updated graphics drive, I have not had an issue with it. The Solid state drive is a MUST when purchasing a computer nowadays.

The product was return it was damage the touch screen. The second product in good conditions and the technical support was okay

I have not had any problems with this unit like a few folks have reported. The touchpad is OK, though I prefer a USB mouse. After 3 months of use, the laptop has performed perfectly in both office and home environments and on airplanes. Note that this is a 6th generation Skylake i7, not the latest 7th gen, but unless you need 4K display support and even better battery time, this unit is a bargain. Best Buy has listed it for $799 to $999 and today is listed at $899. Keyboard is responsive enough for fast typing. It is a bit compressed from side-to-side, but row spacing is close to a full sized keyboard. The back lighting has two level settings and is excellent lower light situations, including full dark. Key travel is acceptable though shorter than a full keyboard. Transformation form laptop mode to tablet and back is smooth and without any problems so far. The touch screen is responsive and without any dead spots that I've found to date. Clarity and color of the display are very good to excellent depending on what you are displaying. Streaming video is excellent in HD with adequate internet bandwidth. Note that this unit does NOT have a DVD drive, but there are 2 USB ports as well as a USBc port, so connecting one is not a problem. The SSD is a mid-range unit from SK Hynix, a relative newcomer. This laptop has the SC308 and to date has performed well. Other units may have other drives since manufacturers will always look for the best deal on these kinds of modular parts to install. There are 2 memory slots with one 8GB and one 4GB from two different manufacturers that work together fine. Your unit may vary. If you are somehow who has time and talent to substitute SSDs and memory, this unit is very easy to change/upgrade, including installing a new battery if needed. The rest of the unit is relatively modular as well, so other maintenance may be easier than other brands like Lenovo. Shortly after powering this up for the first time, Dell downloaded an updated BIOS which installed without any problems. If you can find one of these, buy it.
