Dell - Inspiron 15.6" FHD Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 12GB Memory - 256GB Solid State Drive - Black

Loved it until I had to use the USB ports. They would not recognize my flash drives or my mouse. Hopefully I could somehow solve it (took me way longer than what I expected and I have no idea how I did it). It is a great laptop for college, it is quick and easy to multitask on. I love the touchscreen feature and find it very convenient that the keyboard has a number pad. Long lasting battery and gets charged really quickly.

Bought as an upgrade over my old dell. This laptop is very fast and can do most daily activities...Bluetooth,Hd webcam,etc.... Only knock I have is a short battery life and no backlit keyboard. Overall a very good laptop for under $500....

Love the design and its simplicity. The battery seems alright, I get the feeling it can go for about 8-9 hours. I either got it because its a lot lighter than my old dell laptop and new processor. Price to performance is good. Bootup time for laptop is about 6.6 seconds.

Great value at $499.99. Was fortunate enough to pick this up during the Labor Day sale, and I definitely got my money's worth. At this price you're getting some great specs that I go into more detail below. Display - One of the main features that really attracted me the most was the display. For the longest time I've always wanted a 1080p display on a laptop and this has it. The screen is nice and sharp; it provides a pleasant visual experience. Good viewing angles, nice colors. Battery - The battery isn't great, but it's not bad. It's okay. At least the power adapter is quite small and it charges the laptop fairly quickly, so I'm pretty happy about that. I wouldn't dare to use my laptop without the power adapter anyway. Not that I leave it plugged in all the time of course. CPU - The 1035G1's performance is amazing. It's fast, it handles everything I throw at it like a champ. Much faster than my outdated computers so I'm pretty content with that. Although I would've preferred if this laptop came with Intel's 11th Gen processor, I'm hoping that the 1035G1 will perform just fine in the long run. RAM - 12GB of RAM means you're getting 4 more gigs of RAM, and more RAM is always nice. 8GB is now the minimum and if you're a power user, 16GB of RAM is more ideal, so 12GB is much closer to that. Storage - 256GB is on the smaller side, but you're getting an SSD so that's the big plus. The SSD ensures for a snappy experience. This paired with the i5-1035G1 makes for an overall great machine to use. Weight and Size - Despite this laptop being 15.6", it is relatively light to carry and handle thanks to its thin form factor. I was pleasantly surprised by how thin this laptop was upon first using the demo in-store. Because of how thin and light it is, I believe the size shouldn't matter too much. It makes for a nice screen. Design and Build - I've seen some other reviewers point out that the downside to this laptop is that it's plastic, but personally it doesn't really bother me that much. In fact, I like the build of this laptop and its color scheme. Really minimalistic and simple, doesn't unnecessarily stand out. It's a simple and sleek design that's easily appreciated. Laptops feels pretty sturdy to me as long as I take good care storing and handling it, and it doesn't feel cheap. Basics and Features - No backlit keyboard or fingerprint reader, but that's fine. Both are nice but not necessary. The keyboard layout is functional and not complex. There's even a dedicated calculator button which is neat, and the power button is located in the top-right corner. Touchpad works pretty well. Overall this is a great laptop; extremely worth it on sale. Performs greatly for basic everyday tasks and browsing the internet. For this being my first Dell laptop I'm pretty impressed and content with it. Hope it holds up well for as long as I have it. If it does, maybe I'll look forward to purchasing another product by Dell.

Okay, I just got the thing earlier today, but it deserves a super premature review. The screen, to me, looks beautiful. It's a matte finish, not glossy. No glare at all from any angle. Vivid, and the colors just look great. No bleeding of light, just simply sharp from corner to any other corner. Speakers are more than sufficient. Can it be louder, I don't know. I have definitely heard worse. It sounds really nice and clear. The speed is great. No delays. No hiccups. Everything just opens up quickly. The keys are easy to type on and they feel rather quick. The trackpad (I have never liked using a trackpad) feels great and very responsive. Lots of room on it, but plenty of room too for your hands to feel comfortable when in use. The build of the unit is, in my opinion, excellent. It looks and somewhat feels like sandstone. To me, there is zero bounce on any area of the keyboard. Simply feels solid. The hinges on the screen feel tight and stay in place without any movement when in use. And unlike other laptops, there is no flashy chrome on any of the signage on the laptop. Everything is uniform and professional looking. The unit has nice weight to it, but it does not feel as if you are trying to lift a dumbbell. The power cord seems a bit cheap, but it does subtly pop into place and stays in the slot. I do miss that part of laptops being bigger like they used to be. They just used to feel more secure. Hopefully it stays the way it feels right now for a long time to come. At the end of the day, I am not an expert, but I know my way around technology, to a degree, and I have to say that this unit simply feels great, appears to function smoothly/fluidly, I don't hear anything going on it it, and it is, again, very well built.

The Dell Inspiron 15.6" FHD touch laptop with Intel Core i5 processor in this configuration is awesome! Windows 10 really needs as much RAM as it can get, 4-8GM to me is not enough, even for simple tasks these days. I also like the look and feel to this laptop, it has a slate, sort of concrete appearance to it, which is unusual and cool.

I bought this laptop for my grandmother whose old Dell was really in the dumps and going SUPER SLOW. This popped right up, was easy to install and configure all of the things that she needed and has been running perfectly for her ever since. Just because she's retired doesn't mean she can wait hours for things to work and now this lets her spend more time in her garden taking care of her delicious corn she brings for dinner (YUM!!!).
