First impression? Not bad for $750
I bought this in emergency for my school. This is my first time using a DELL laptop. The main factor of my purchase is its form factor and power draw. AMD Ryzen 7 5825U is a snippy little beast. When plugged in, like most windows laptops, it runs pretty smooth. But, when you unplug it, it starts to slow down, although not by a huge margin. I use MATLAB for school, so it's not recommended to run CPU bound tasks without AC adapter. The display is pretty nice too, nothing much to talk about except for the fact that it's a wider 16:10 and a touchscreen, so you can watch as a tent mode when you don't want to use your keyboard or fold it like a big tablet when you want to read on-the-go or on the bed. The battery is pretty decent too. I tried to use it without AC power. It went from 100% to 90% in over an hour. I have not drained the battery from 100% to 0 yet to test its endurance, but I'm sure I'll do that very soon. All in all, a solid laptop for the price. Wouldn't buy this for 1000 dollars but 750 is a huge bargain.

Good But Not Great
Overall this laptop is decent but only if only on sale. I definitely would not pay the full price. Pros: * Love the camera shutter for privacy. * Design is very nice. The texture prevents finger prints and the color does not look green at all to me. * USB-C charging means that you do not have to keep up with a proprietary cord. * Specs are solid, at least on paper. * Hinges are very strong & sturdy Cons: * My biggest gripe is the screen. Full disclosure, I am used to OLED screens so going back to IPS was a big of let down. The screen is on the dim side even when turned all the way up and everything seems rather white washed. The Dell Cinema software lets you play with the temperature, contrast & saturation which helps but it generally makes everything start to look artificial. * Fingerprint sensor fails at least 50% of the time which is annoying. Almost returned the laptop due to this but a quick search on the world wide web proved that this is more of a Win11 issue than Dell. So-So: * Battery life seems like it would get around 7 hours of web surfing which is OK but not great for this price range * This does seem a tad heavy * Speed seems a bit slow considering the specs especially on bootup which take about 30 seconds even out of the box. * Price is OK when on sale but on the expensive side when not. Overall I would recommend this laptop for the average user as it should be enough to complete most tasks. The screen is a let down everything else is decent enough.

Great for school, okay for gaming
Great laptop for doing school work! Light weight and portable. A bit small but that’s fine by me. Running games like Minecraft and bg3 work but I had to buy a laptop fan to keep it from overheating.

Dell Inspiron 2 & 1, 14”
I purchased this laptop for school and it’s been powerful enough to take on virtualization. The2 and 1 design looks premium. The only cons I can have is the touch pad feedback when pressed is awkward (sound and feel). There is also only one USB port. If you can get over those things I believe this is a overall good purchase.
