Dell - Inspiron 17.3" Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - 2TB HDD - Black

I bought Dell Inspiron 17 3000 laptop in the month of July 2020 with high expectations . Much to my disappointment , I’m scared to use this laptop. It takes 25 minutes to start the laptop and open a google chrome page. I have called Customer care in the month of September 2020 to report this. Customer care mentioned that it’s a software issue and I need to pay 125$ as I crossed one month. After which I hate to use this laptop as it takes 25-30 minutes of time. To write this review, I have opened my laptop but fed up with the waiting time. I switched on my husband laptop wrote this review still my laptop they to open . Please I request every one not to buy this laptop and waste your hard earned money. I seriously regret that I wasted 885$ On this garbage

Most of the time the software’s are open very slowly and while editing it hung. Expected the best performance with 16 GB RAM and 10th Gen Intel

I bought 2 laptops. The only difference was this one has a 2TB HDD drive and the other one had that plus a 256 GB SSD. My main complaint about the other drive had to do with the handling of saving files to the library and not being able to save them to the larger drive, but I found a work around for that. I think this laptop is a great value and will handle all of my needs. It has a large hard drive for photos and documents, a very good display, all the ports I need, and a DVD/CD drive. The memory is good enough for my needs. I had a 12GB before which was enough, so this is better. I would like to see a light on the NumLock key. In fact a backlit keyboard would have been nice and worth a few dollars more. I like the ports and will be able to run any peripherals I have without running out of ports. I had some problem with the text being too small, but I went into Settings, Ease of Access, and was able to increase it to something I could read better. Overall, I think the laptop was a good purchase and I am pleased with everything about it (except the lack of a NumLock light) now that I fixed the text size.

For a large 17 inch laptop it is really good, except, The color is black and the keyboard is also black and not back lit so you really need to know your keyboard keys because they are hard to see the letter and numbers on them.... Also the keys are spaced so you need to retune your fingers to the wide old style typewriter key spacing. That is something to get reused to also. Other than that it is a good machine.

With 10th generation Intel Core i7 I dont have any issue while running my programs anymore. there is plenty of storage space and I can store all my files and pictures. it is also slick, fit into my bag and easy to carry. price/performance is excellent.

Works for what I need it for which is general office use but also as a secondary source for photo and video editing. Speed is good but not earth shattering. What I don't like is the touchpad. The new design of a completely flat pad with your button clicks at the bottom is a mess for someone like me with fat fingers. My solution is to use an external mouse as much as possible. I've owned Dell's the majority of my computer buying years. Rarely disappointed with their products.

I’ve been needing a new laptop for some time now as my last dell is on its last legs. This was easy to set up out of the box. Transfering files is never fun, but with the 5TB external drive, i was able to transfer most things with ease. Upgrading to windows 10 is nice as well since I use that at work, and don’t have to navigate multiple operating systems. it is sleek and light weight. Haven’t checked the battery life yet. The DVD rom seems a little flimsy, but it is not used much. The biggest problem is finding out if some of my programs are still compatible with windows 10 or not.

Upgrading my 5 years old HP-15 (core-i5) notebook, to cope with Zoom requirements regarding processor specs and the easiness of changing meetings background. At first was hesitant between this one and the other Dell 17.3 of 2.25T hard, but decided to choose this after I read the reviews on the other complaining of only downloading programs and files on the small partition hard and the pain of later transferring to the larger drive partition. The performance of this machine, sharp large display, sound quality, and the huge 2T storage with 16G RAM are all super great features for heavy office and home work.
