Customers recognize the Inspiron 17.3" laptop's large screen size, good performance, and ease of use as significant advantages. Many appreciate the touchscreen functionality and ample RAM for multitasking. However, some find the laptop heavy and the limited number of USB ports inconvenient. A slow hard drive and the power button placement were also cited as potential drawbacks.
The laptop is amazing! It works like it's used to, the videocard is quite okay for games. (Warframe runs fluently for example). What i dislike is that when you put it on tabletmode and you put it on your lap, that the keys stick out so everything can come inside the keys, what will mess up your keyboard probably... the advantage is that you can use it as a stand to in tablet mode, so i'm reallyyy happy in general with this product. You can dream of a laptop with this capabilities for this price in my opinion

I purchased this laptop because I do video editing and need more processor speed and ram than I had. With the I7 chip and 12 gb ram I can do multi camera editing no problem. The 1 tb installed hard drive is slow thus the 4 stars. I added a Samsung 500 gb SSD in the extra slot provided in the laptop and cloned drive C: to it using Samsung software. Now it is much faster. I use the old 1TB HHD for media storage. I like the large 17.3 inch screen for time line editing, easier on my eyes. The power switch is in a very bad location lower right corner so if you move the unit on your lap it is easy to turn off. Overall I like the Laptop, but with out adding the SSD it was so slow booting and loading programs I was disappointed with it. You have to spend an extra $100 to get the loading and booting speed I like. Pros: Large screen, Speed now with Samsung SSD, Fast I7 processor and ram Cons: Power switch placement, very slow HHD , Spent Extra money for SSD

This is a stunningly beautiful and power packed versatile laptop that can easily replace your desktop PC. Its solid-feeling hinges and overall polished and tight-fitting design puts Dell in a whole new category. I set out to purchase a traditional laptop in the $400 - $600 price range and was instantly attracted to this feature rich unit. The closer for me was the $845 sale price and I used the savings to load it up with MS Office Home and Student. While I did go over what I set out to spend, I feel that the specs for this 2 in 1 (laptop/tablet), for how I use it, will easily get me through the next five years. My only complaints are that it only has two USB ports but nothing a USB hub can't fix. For this reason I purchased a wireless keyboard and mouse combo for when I choose to use it as a desktop PC replacement. I also wish it had a DVD/CD reader/writer but most laptops don't come with one anymore. Granted, I would rarely use it anyway but it would have been convenient to have it for playing my old DVDs/CDs and burning discs for my old truck's CD player. An inexpensive external USB powered unit would do the trick. Given the size of this machine, while completely portable with decent battery life, I wouldn't make it a routine to travel with it. The occasional room to room or home to office or buddy's house should be fine. The speakers are ok but as with most laptops, the sound is relatively flat. Hooking up any USB or wall outlet powered speakers will produce much better sound. Tablet mode works nicely but its sheer size and weight make it a bit unwieldy to hold comfortably for long periods, unless you're a very strong big-handed person. Truthfully, this unit is overkill for how it's mainly used in our household but it's great to have the power and features to tackle multiple tasks, online and offline, without slowing it down. Gamers especially would appreciate the graphics card with separate RAM.
