This computer is great and user friendly.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am enjoying my computer that I purchased at Best Buy. The price was worth the quality of my product. I really like the fact that I joined the Geek club who prepared my computer after purchasing. This service saved me time trying to set up my computer.

Simply The Truth
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this laptop for work. And it does what I need it to do. Nice big screen. Great picture quality. BUT there are some things I have reservations about, you cant upgrade the ram past 8gigs. also the power adapter is a new style for Dell and they them selves don't even know it yet. I tried 6 different times to purchase a card adapter from Dell directly giving them the exact serial and model number. And they were not aware that this particular laptop requires a 4.5mm slim power adapter. to this day I can not get one. the touch screen has a very bad glare in the sun. so be aware of this. But all in all... the laptop works great. and I would not complain about its function. But I would not purchase it again. great for kids. for after school home work surfing the web. things like that.

Excellent Computer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchase this computer as a replacement to my 4 year old one, and it is excellent. The battery life is soo long!! But I would say, I do wish sometimes that the screen brightness could be higher even when at max brightness and the touchscreen sometimes, like 3 times since I purchased it a month ago, doesn't always work when put into tablet mode, but I just flip it back to laptop mode, and back to tablet mode and it works perfect. Overall however, a great product. But I did notice a slowdown of a tad with the upgrade to Windows 10 from 8.

Does the trick
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nothing crazy, but it seems decently fast and worked out of the box unlike the other Dell I tried to purchase. Very lightweight and compact. Disappointed it does not have a network port.

So Far So Good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just bought this laptop last night. Spent about a hour or so upgrading to windows 10. Thought it was funny that the computer ran slower with windows 8.1 than it does now with 10 but that's only another reason to upgrade it. I like the AC networking. Gives me incredible range and speed from my ASUS AC87 router. Paired perfectly fine with my Bluetooth speaker with solid range. I wish it had a number pad but I can live without it, since I bought this computer at a steep clearance discount at my Best Buy store. Also the backlit keyboard seems to stay on much to long after a period of inactivity, especially watching a video. Just seems to be a waste of battery life, Battery life does seem to be satisfactory. Came out of the box at 97% after the update, downloading some software and syncing different cloud services and a half hour show streamed, I'm at 31% so that would definitely meet expectations. The only thing I'm more than likely going to upgrade down the line is the hard drive. 500gb is plenty but I rather see improved speed and boot times with a SSD. Also, that would elieviate any loud fan noises posted by another review.

Nice unit for the money.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A few user issues, (lost my pointer and taskbar) but i restarted and all was right with the world. Overall good purchase considering I was actually looking at a Mac.

Nice Looking Computer - Runs Well
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Looks and feels like a Mac. Performs very well. Just wish it booted a little faster. I don't really use in the 2 and 1 function, so kind of wish I had got the Dell Touch Screen with i7 and larger hard drive instead.

Answered by GroundedTexan
Q: QuestionCan the memory be upgraded to 16 GB?Many of the Inspiron and other competitors from this class can be upgraded to 16 GB of memory, and it is a factor is whether I settle on this model. Can this one be upgraded with two 8 GB sticks? Can it be done thru a panel on the bottom? The site says there are two memory slots, while a reviewer said there is only one... where would he get that idea, like is one slot empty, or one on top and one below the mobo?
Asked by johnnyrev.
- A:Answer There is only one slot and the max configuration is 8GB. A better option to increase performance would be to get a solid state drive. See the pdf manual on the Dell website for complete specs.

Q: QuestionHow long does the battery last for using this laptop?
Asked by Srun.
- A:Answer I use this laptop usually at near full brightness, always connected to WiFi, with Onenote, and sometimes Adobe Illustrator up, about for 5 hours a day with about 5 hours of sitting in my backpack and it lasts that long. Excellent with battery in my opinion. Mine is about a month old.
