Customers are impressed with the Inspiron 2-in-1 Chromebook's ease of use, responsive touchscreen, and excellent battery life. Many also praised its performance and value for the price, particularly appreciating the 14” screen size. However, some customers found the device to be heavy, and a few expressed concerns about the limited RAM and compatibility with certain applications. The lack of an HDMI port was also noted as a minor drawback by some users.
I only use this Dell 2-1 14" Chromebook for - All Things in the Google Universe (ecosystem), some other Play Store apps, social, internet, internet, internet and a writing app. I'm not doing 3-D modeling or heavy photoshop. Do I wish I had more money and purchased a Pixel Slate with an i5 or 17 and more memory, yes. This is 4 pounds and the keyboard if stuck to it. I would prefer something 2 lbs or under with a detachable keyboard and a faster processor for when I use demanding apps. So far however I have not had any issue. The outdated i3 processor is doing everything fast I have asked of it. I keep multiple applications open and 25 tabs without a hint of delay. Next time step up and spend some more coin, plus I had 10 minutes to decide as Best Buy was closing, I was in a hurry...After spending thousands on a mac (they have less expensive ones) this is great, just without Garageband, etc. I use the heck out of this and it has worked very well except the wifi range isn't spectacular, however I have an old single band router and an only one slow internet with poor maintenance and at 12mbps - in the middle of the desert. The battery life is excellent. I am looking forward to a tablet in the future that does not have a fan, still stays cool and with a faster processor. I was told because this was solid state and did not have a fan, I must have misunderstood, it has a fan. Things with hinges will fail. For the money it is so far so good. It was "on sale", isn't everything? I think some people who hate Windows like me, who like the Google cloud concept, and love the way this syncs to an android phone will like this set-up. It is like my mac before cat hair killed it and how it synced with my iphone, but less money. If I wasn't addicted to a stylus of the Note line of phones I might still have an iphone and I would have looked at ipads. This will help with my closeted wanna be writer ambition, research and most internet everything. It is fast for the things I do and boots up fast like a SSD should. Interactions are instant between Google apps. If you are in this price range (on sale only; It was $150 less), aren't doing things that require a high end processor, don't mind the 4 lbs and think 14" then maybe? If you have more coin and demand more from a device then step up I suppose. I've had this less than a month so time might change my opinion. If I had more time to choose and think about it I would have spent more, gone lighter, leaner and more powerful$

I'm new to laptops and I know serious users laugh at Chromebooks. I absolutely love my Dell 2 in 1 Chromebook. I can't see ever using it as a tablet bc of the weight, but as a laptop it is more than enough for what I need. Plus I got it for $400 so I'm even more happy with it. I highly recommend the Dell 2 in 1 Chromebook to anyone in the market for a laptop, not so much a tablet.

I've only ever owned Windows laptops but wanted to try a Chromebook so I could have everything connected to my Gmail account. For my first Chromebook, I am very impressed and pleased with it. I've had it for almost a year and it hasn't given me any issues. It's easy to use, has great sound, display and battery life, has convenient accessibility features, and I love that I can charge it from either side of the laptop. I'm still debating if I'll commit to a Chromebook forever (I do miss Microsoft Word and I'm still learning keyboard shortcuts), but as a previous Windows user, I am very happy with my choice.
