Dell - Inspiron 2-in-1 13.3" Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 128GB Solid State Drive - Black

It's sleek, portable, relatively fast for the 2 in 1 market, and has a good set of features for the price point. Also note that this "best buy only" version does not include a stylus, but I didn't care about that. I don't think It's worth the $200 jump to the i7/256gb ssd option. The mobile options of the i5 and i7 are both dual core with hyperthreading (so both have 4 logical cores). The i7 has a slight speed bump and a bit more L3 cache, but will not result in a noticeable difference in most applications. These are not gaming machines, but I have edited some RAW photos in lightroom on this and speed was more than adequate. If you do a lot of cpu intensive work on the go, then I would recommend looking at a different product for increased productivity. However, for word processing and general use with the occasional more intensive applications this is a wonderful machine. 128gb of storage is a little lacking. But you can easily pair it with an external USB 3.0 hard driver, or do as I am and swap out the ssd to a 500gb one which you can pick up for under that $200 price difference. I'm just going to re purpose the 128gb ssd to my desktop as a games drive. My only other complaint is that when folded over into "tablet" mode, the screen does not sit square on the back of the laptop. So when you hold it you always have to be squeezing the screen and the keyboard together. Which is awkward cause the keys are exposed so you are constantly pushing buttons (but they don't do anything). Anyway, the storage space and the slightly annoying failure of truly folding all the way over are why I only gave it 4 stars. The screen itself is absolutely gorgeous. There is no need for anything above full HD on this size display as your eye can't see the difference (unless gluing your face to it). The much higher resolution displays are a gimmick, this display has very nice blacks and impressed me for the price point. I look forward to using it to watch movies and edit images when I travel. Audio quality is also impressive for a laptop. It does sounds a bit better in laptop mode than tablet mode due to the speaker placement, but I expect I'll be mostly using headphones when in tablet mode anyway. I think this laptop strikes a very sweet spot in the market. It's a great buy. It's well made, beautiful, easily portable, powerful enough for any computing task besides 3D gaming, and priced very reasonably.

I was looking for a decent deal on a skylake laptop in a 13" formfactor and settled on this one. I think it largely fits the bill and I am pretty satisfied. Build: Seems to be sturdy. In general, this is a handsome system. Although plastic, the top and bottom have a nice soft-touch finish to them which I find more appealing than Dell's standard inspiron fake silvery plastics. The palmrest does have a fake silver-ness to it, but with a brushed look to it that gives it some distinction. The hinge seems like it will last a while. It's pretty thin, but perhaps thicker and heaver than what one might consider an ultrabook. It's definitely a step up in the heaviness/thickness factor from a MB Air. The touchpad is just okay... Right clicks and two fingered gestures are less sensitive than one would desire. The chiclet style keyboard feels ok as well, but the travel distance is not as far as I'd prefer. I'm getting used to it still however, and its definitely a serviceable keyboard. . Performance and value: the skylake i5 and its integrated graphics hold up pretty well at this price point. The ssd and RAM offered here are good for the price of 650$ (if you can snag it for that much). I experienced no stuttering at full screen 1080p video playback. CSGO runs at about 25 fps @1080p, but you can expect a steady 60 if you dial back the resolution. LoL runs at 60fps @ 1080p on low. Battery life looks to be about 7 hours with mixed usage. The screen is nice. Perhaps not as bright as id like when on the highest setting, but thats nitpicking. I didnt have and dead pixels or uneven lighting. Viewing angles are what one would expect from a budget IPS display. software: Well, its win10. Hopefully you know what you are getting into. I honestly don't have any issues with it. I actually like a lot of the changes in win8 and 10 like the redone task manager. The bloat is not excessive, which is good, but you'd hope dell would be a little more sensitive considering its a 128gb hard drive. I'd recommend disabling hibernation and trimming some of dells apps to reclaim 3-5GB. Luckily I didn't have the compromised Dell eRoot certificate. I'd check every system from Dell for that. Final thoughts: I had no issues with wi-fi as other folks have commented. It worked fine out of the box. On the whole, i'm very happy with the purchase at 650$. The only drawbacks are that the keyboard action is only good, and two fingered scrolling and right clicking is some times inconsistent. It's also a shade heavier than I would prefer, but it gives some heft and a feel of quality to the machine. I would also not that this is actually the "Special Edition" of the 7000 series 2 in 1. I'm not sure why they didn't put that on the product page as this version is definitely better than the standard version, both because it has the ssd and the soft touch finish and tapered edges.

i too had the wifi problem where it would disconnect randomly. i searched online and found a fix. go into the network properties of your wifi and uncheck ipv6. this should keep it connected long enough to run windows and dell updates. after doing updates, it looks like the wifi became stable. now for the experience part. i really like the laptop. here is my list of likes. likes: - the weight is nice - comes with 128GB samsung MZ-7LF128D if you're curious. i was able to easily swap it out with a 500GB samsung 840EVO. - in a fast glance, i don't believe there's an available ram slot, but it's not soldered in. - keyboard is nice. felt similar to macbook pro/air. - works with ubuntu 15.10 (gnome). no additional drivers needed but the touchscreen experience is not as great as with windows - minimum keyboard flex - the plug itself is small and lightweight - not too much dell bloatware. have a service tag number makes it easy to find info or updates on your specific laptop. dislikes: - it's difficult to open the laptop with one hand. just used to doing this coming from a macbook pro/air. there's a strong magnet that keeps the lid close. i noticed it when i was holding a usb flash drive near the lid. it snatched it out of my hand haha. - in tablet mode, it's not plush. there's a small gap between the screen and the keyboard. so it's possible that you "bang" them together when using it in this mode. bang isn't a good word to use, maybe collide but not to a point where you damage it. - touchpad experience isn't all that great. it's above average for my taste. haven't found any pc laptop compared to macbook pro/air yet. - scaling in some software doesn't match 1080 resolution. i believe it's a problem with windows and not the laptop but i thought i'd mention it. - didn't come with foam protection between screen and keyboard. so you could get the dirt from the keys imprinted on the screen when closed and in your backpack. i hated this on the macbook pro/air. other than that, i wish it had a lower cost option without the ssd drive. i have a few lying around so i'm going to swap it out anyway.

On December 7, 2015, Dell published an Intel update for the wifi adapter in this machine. I purchased mine on Dec. 13 for $649 and, after logging in to my wifi router OK during the Windows 10 setup it would not see the Intel Wireless-AC 3165 adapter (in Device Manager), let alone see any wifi networks. Just as some of the reviewers below had reported. However, I do have a USB wired gigabit network adapter and plugged into my router with it. I was able to get to Dell.com and download the new Intel driver which evidently tells the Windows Registry about the wifi adapter so it is recognized from then on. Install is silent/in the background, so I rebooted afterwards to make sure it was installed. And, sure enough, I then had wifi with no other problems. It logged into the wireless AC 5Ghz channel on my router. From a room one floor below and one over from the router, Speedtest.net reported a download speed of 83Mbps, which is about as good as you can expect from wifi! Problem solved? If you don't have a USB network adapter, don't leave the store until the Geek Squad downloads and installs the correct driver for you. Point them to this review if necessary. Address for the update: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=4P7DH&fileId=3501128871&osCode=WT64A&productCode=inspiron-13-7353-laptop&languageCode=EN&categoryId=NI As for the rest of the PC and how I like it (now that I have wifi). The keyboard is a strong point. I have owned Dell laptops for 20 years or so, and they usually have my favorite keyboards. I'm not a fan of the trackpad, which has a scratchy feel to it (intentionally, no doubt), but I prefer a smooth surface like a Macbook. Other than that, I think it may work for my needs. Seems speedy enough. I will now be returning the HP Spectre 360 2-in-1 I bought last week. It has lots of unresolved wifi problems, a huge trackpad that I always seem to be touching accidentally (jumpy cursor), and it gets really hot on the bottom when on your lap. Plus it cost $250 more. (But you get an I7 and 128 more GB of storage for your $999).

I purchased this laptop about 6 months ago. Since then I've used it almost daily with no real issue. I'm a student, so I am constantly transitioning from class to class and the laptop always fires up quickly and connects to Wifi within seconds. I even pull it out at the bus stop sometimes because it is small and very portable; I can carry it to Starbucks in my dump-all purse with ease. The screen size is perfect. I didn't think I'd find the touch screen useful, but as it turns out, I can no longer imagine a laptop without it. So many times I find myself touching the screen to navigate through tasks that I used to find cumbersome with a mouse or touchpad. I use it in tablet mode for reading/annotating .pdf's and watching shows. The touch screen is very responsive - maybe not on the level of my iPhone, but definitely more functional than I expected, with most non-Apple touch screens usually missing the mark. The performance is fantastic in general. I purchased the 8GB RAM/128GB SSD because I was told that the combination provides the best performance for my needs. I usually have a million tabs open, in addition to every single Office program, Windows Explorer, etc., and this laptop can handle it and keeps my tasks open even after days of no use. I have had a few issues with freezing but something tells me that is more of a problem with Windows 10 than with the hardware/functionality of this particular laptop. In the beginning the laptop would go to sleep in the middle of the task I was on. Needless to say, this frustrated me. After messing with the sleep settings, I seem to have fixed this issue and haven't run into it again since. This is the only reason I would choose 4 stars instead of 5. Battery life is good enough for me. Brightness of the screen varies with battery life, and I can't seem to figure out how to get these settings to where I want. Bluetooth takes a while to connect. I have already recommended this laptop to all my friends whose MacBooks are dying after only 3 years. I also recommend it to incoming college freshmen - it is a good investment if you want to be carefree with your technology in your first year of school.

I bought this model and the wifi card disappeared from the system about a minute or so after booting up. Not listed on the device manager, even. No way to remedy the problem. Exchanged it for an identical one the next morning only to get the exact same problem. Spent an hour or more on the phone with Dell tech support before returning the second one hoping there might be a straightforward fix. First thing the guy asked me to was take out the battery. Had to explain to him that this model does not have a removable battery. Then he asked me to hook it up to a wired ethernet connection, and I had to explain that the device has no ethernet port. Considering I had already told them the exact model and serial numbers I found the complete lack of any knowledge of their own devices ridiculous. Then went through the useless steps of making me run system diagnostics, reinstalling windows and doing factory resets (all of which I had already done before calling, as I told the tech guy I never would have called support if the device could be fixed by something that simple). After all that I finally got a supervisor on the phone. The supervisor finally admitted to me that the model has had issues with the wifi card and that there is no known fix for this issue. Probably a manufacturing defect causing a faulty PCI connection or something similar. Still he offered me no remedy or incentive to do anything other than return it and never use a Dell machine ever again. If their QC is this pathetic I will never trust another Dell. After finally dumping this useless machine and getting my money back I bought a similar model from Acer that actually has slightly better specs and was even a little cheaper. I've been very happy with the Acer, so I guess it ended up all good in the end but no thanks to Dell or their worthless support department. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this one, though maybe you'll get lucky and it'll actually work. My experience was definitely not a fluke, as there are complaints all over the web about the same issue on this model.

I purchased this laptop for my wife for Christmas - it wasn't the cheapest option, but it did have all the features I was looking for, including a touch screen/2-in-1, W10 and SSD storage. Unfortunately, after opening the box and trying to run through the setup process, the system wouldn't maintain a connection to my home WiFi - I have numerous wireless clients connected and haven't had a moment of trouble with any other devices so I knew it there was an issue with the Dell system. After troubling shooting the problem for awhile, I found that the WiFi device/adapter would be present after a cold boot, connect to the WiFi and then drop the connection after a few minutes. And more than just dropping the connection, the WiFi adapter would actually disappear from the list of HW devices... The biggest issue was not being able to keep the WiFi link connected log enough to get onto the Dell website and download a new driver! The only other choice was to download the driver onto a USB stick and try to load the driver from the USB drive - this didn't work because the wireless HW wouldn't stay visible log enough to complete the driver install. So the only choice left was to copy the file onto the SSD and hope it running the install off the local drive would be fast enough to get the driver fully loaded before it went missing again. Long story short, this worked. I got the new driver loaded, rebooted the system it haven't had a problem with wireless stability since. Not that I'm anyone's gift to computers, but I believe this system would have been a DOA to the average consumer and end up back with the store or Dell. If the system had worked properly right out of the box, I'd have given it 5 stars.

I did at least one month of research before buying this. I was on a budget around < $550 and was looking for 14 Inch , i5 6th gen, 2 in 1 Touch , Full HD display and good WIFI Connectivity. I had to choose between Asus & Lenovo yoga 700 in this price band. I finally got this Open Box Excellent Dell 7000 Series Black 2 in 1 laptop. Pros 1. Quite fast . Good boot up speed 10/12 secs . With the 128GB SDD has a decent fast operation. 2.Display / Sound : I quite love the display & Sound . Very clear crisp sound. 3. WIFI : This is something I have really struggled with my previous laptops. And when I read the reviews , 32 people had same common WIFI issues . So I had my fingers crossed but I decided to trust Dell as Best Buy had the 14 days replacement. But right out of the box , the WIFI connectivity was superb , I have used this 2 weeks not a single WIFI issue so far. Very Satisfied. 4. Built & Looks : I really like the black rubbery outside and the solid metallic finish inside. The back light key boards are also flawless. 5. Touch : Touch screen and touch pad both looks pretty good , no issues or problems so far. Cons 1. It is little uncomfortable to flip open the laptop. Little hard and uncomfortable due to the strong built. Maybe with more use, will be better in future. 2. Only the screen hanged once , not sure why. 3. Came with only 81GB free space on the 128 SDD , so not much disk space. But you can add a SDD card to extend the storing capability. 258GB in the same model would have been perfect. 4. Weight : Little heavy for a 13.3 Inch laptop. Overall satisfied so far , the laptop is doing good . I do lots of net browsing , take online Technical training , emails , videos , online movies . I do not do any gaming.
