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.

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 Much faster than my outdated computers so I'm pretty content with that.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.

This is an excellent laptop for the price. 256GB solid state is perfect for students and standard home users. 12GB of RAM means you don't have to worry about having too many things open or any particular application hogging resource. The screen is great quality and the battery life is excellent (normal for new laptop of course). The size of the laptop is great for those with big hands, fair eye-sight, or like to have something substantive on their lap when working. I have bought two of these now for different people, will be buying a third for a family member.
