Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Absolutely awesome.
||Posted .I have been an Apple customer for quite some time. We were in need of a laptop for my wife school assignments. We decided that $1k+ is a ridiculous amount to spend on a laptop, again. So looking at Best Buy's laptops, we started with a budget of $300 and saw the quality and quickly decided to up our budget. We then ran into this bad boy of a laptop on the open box/used cage area. It was looking rough when we saw it and the Rep told us that the laptop was retailed for $849. It was selling for $467.99. We got it for $503 with tax. He even removed all the stickers and cleaned it up... looks practically brand new. Never been happier. Apple version with identical specs values at $1,999. It's a no brainer.

Very good product for the money
||Posted .This dell offers plenty of pep and a comfortable keyboard in a premium design, and its speakers are surprisingly good, too. However, below-average battery life and a relatively dull display hold this 2-in-1 back from a higher rating.

Nice, but a bit big on the screen
||Posted .I liked the overall specs, however, I think that for the same price you can get a 13 inch laptop with an i7 processor and at least 12gb ram instead of this 15 inch laptop with an i5 and 8gb, choose wisely! ;)

Great Laptop
||Posted .I was looking for a laptop for my son and I and bought the 15" 7579 when it was $550, what a deal! During and after Christmas time I bought the 13.3" Asus Q304, the 14" Lenovo 710 14, and this 15.6" Dell 7579. The Asus was on sale for $500 during Black Friday and was great except for the 6gb of ram and the slow 1tb hard drive. I did like the fact that it had a finger print reader for Windows Hello. For $600, I got the Lenovo 710 14" with 8GB ram and 256GB ssd. The reviews were right about the fan being loud and was always turning on even while just surfing the net. Also when typing, the keyboard would flex in the middle. I did like the 14" screen with small bezels but returned both the Asus and Lenovo and got the 15.6" Dell 7579 for $550. The Lenovo 710, Asus Q304 and the Dell 7579 have an aluminum build but the Dell felt solid. No flexing and no creaking like the Lenovo. The fan only goes on when doing demanding things like playing games. The specs were the same as the Lenovo having a fast 256gb hard drive and 8gb of ram and the built in infrared camera for Windows Hello makes the laptop feel high end. I also bought the 13.3" version, the Dell 7378 for $600 which has the exact same specs as the bigger 7579 but with a smaller screen. My son has the bigger 7579 which he uses for school work and I enjoy the smaller 7378 which I use in bed. The Dell feels much more high quality than both the Lenovo and the Asus. My son uses his 7579 for school work and to stream Xbox One games which is pretty cool. I use the 7378 for playing older title games on low settings due to the built in HD 620 integrated graphics. Having tried all three brands, the Dell came out the winner!

Q: QuestionI see it has two memory slots and comes with 8 gigabytes of ram. Does it come equipped with just one slot used for the the 8gb or is each slot equipped with 4gb?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer If you hold control + alt + delete and take a look at the PERFORMANCE tab under your TASK MANAGER. It will tell you that only 1 of 2 slot is being used. Since the computer comes equipped with 8gb of ram...that means 1 stick of 8gb is used in 1 of the slot leaving another slot available for you to slip in another 8gb stick to increase it to 16gb of ram total. I hope that helps since I see that the previous answer provided is inaccurate.

Q: QuestionDoes it have a displayport connection? Photo clearly shows mini display port on left side next to hdmi. Specs only list HDMI
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer The previous answer is misleading. The ports on either side of the HDMI port are a USB-C and a USB 3.0. USB-C ports happen to come in several (confusing) varieties; the one here has a "DP" symbol next to it, and has DisplayPort capability, even though physically, it's not a DisplayPort- or Mini DisplayPort-shaped port. (Does that clear things up? lol) So, with the right cable or adapter, you can use this USB-C port for DisplayPort functionality. Not that you asked, but it should also be noted that this USB-C port uses the USB 3.0 standard and speed (aka SuperSpeed, aka USB 3.1 Gen 1, to add to the confusion), which is 5 Gbps, as opposed to USB-C ports with the faster USB 3.1 Gen 2 standard (aka SuperSpeed Plus), which can transfer data at 10 Gbps. The most advanced USB-C ports, in addition to having USB 3.1 Gen 2, also have Thunderbolt 3 capability, which allows for 40 Gbps data transfer speeds. Given all these confusing variations, it would be great if you could easily look up the specific capabilities of a certain model's USB-C port. But you can't. The closest thing to documentation for this particular model is here: http://www.dell.com/support/manuals/us/en/19/inspiron-15-7579-2-in-1-laptop/inspiron-15-7579-Setup-Specifications/Left?guid=GUID-BE17E2B5-6071-41F6-854D-E5F526405FA1&lang=en-us (See screenshot if web address gets blocked.)

Q: QuestionDoes this laptop have good audio quality? I like to listen to podcast and music and watch movies.
Asked by JWTEX.
- A:Answer Sound quality is outstanding. Much better than my previous Dell notebooks. I have a Bose Soundlink mini but don't use it as much as I did with previous notebooks because the sound is very good from the notebook speakers. I listen to a lot of audio and am very pleased with the sound quality

Q: QuestionI need 3 USBs... headset; wireless mouse; external harddrive. I also need an HDMI for 2nd screen and an Ethernet plug slot. Are all these on this Dell? If not, what is it lacking and can I add it?
Asked by Twiggle.
- A:Answer The laptop has one USB one each side of the laptop and an HDMI port on the left side. There also is an SD card slot on the right. You would probably need an external USB splitter/hub to use the setup you outlined.
