Dell - Inspiron 7000 2-in-1 15.6" UHD Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - 1TB SSD+32GB Optane - Black

So I found myself suddenly in need of a new laptop. I wasn't too sure if I wanted to pick up the new Inspiron 7000 (model 7506) since it had only just released a couple of weeks prior and there was still no professional reviews or benchmarks for it. But for some reason Best Buy had it on sale for $200 off so I figured I'd take the bait and give it a shot. Overall I am very pleased with it. It's fast and the battery life is decent (at least as far as 4K displays go, certainly a lot better than the measly 3 hours that I got with my previous UHD laptop). So far I haven't experienced any issues performance-wise with the machine or with Wi-fi like some of the user reviews have stated. Keyboard and trackpad are pretty good. Only minor complaint that I have is that you can't open the lid with one-hand (or at least it's incredibly difficult to do so). I'm not sure if it's the heft from the touchscreen or if it's a flaw in the design of the hinges, but I do have to use both hands to lift up the lid. Since there isn't much information available about the internals of the machine, I figured I would touch on that (and post a picture of the machine with its back plate removed to illustrate). After removing the back plate, I can see that it has a 1TB Intel Optane H10 SSD for storage and an Intel AX201 wireless adapter. I didn't see any RAM modules so I'm going to assume that the 16GB of RAM is soldered directly onto the motherboard. According to the BIOS the RAM is running in dual channel instead of single channel so that's a relief (it was a concern of mine as the Best Buy product page listed the RAM as only having 1 module). I didn't remove the various pieces of tape that was covering some parts of the motherboard as I was afraid that it might void the warranty. In terms of out-of-the-box experience, there was surprisingly few bloatware pre-installed. It was mostly just a bunch of Dell utilities and advertisements for McAfee. If you are like me and always ditch the pre-installed OS and instead install a clean copy Windows, just be sure that you download the "Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver" and extract the "F6" drivers from that package because the Windows 10 installer will not recognize the Intel Optane SSD without it.

This laptop is the best ive ever had to date. The build quality is very impressive,its a bit on the heavier side which i love. It boots up crazy fast and the display is beautiful. I watched some 4k videos and the colors sharpness and detail are great. On a side note,i ordered from another store and went to pick up at another when i got to the Ft Myers BestBuy they didnt have it. The staff did their best to find it but couldnt. The manager asked what features i was looking for i said 4k display. He did some looking and found me an open box deal. He had three of them and brought all of them for me to look at. The one i ended up with has no visual defects or any others for that matter exept the open box part. I got $615 dollars off. I am so pleased with my laptop and the staff at Ft Myers Bestbuy for VERY GOOD SERVICE!!!!!!!

I really wanted to like this laptop. It worked fine for about 3 weeks and then I started getting the BSOD that others have talked about. I ran through all troubleshooting steps and nothing has fixed the issue. It just randomly shuts down about every other day. I even did a reset of the computer but still get the BSOD. I contacted Dell and while the man was very nice, he wasn't able to fix the issue. He ran through many different updates and tests but I got the BSOD again today. He also mentioned that if what he did does not fix the problem then I would have to pay for Dell Tech Support to figure out the issue. I just bought the computer in January and it has a 1 year warranty. However Dell says the warranty only covers hardware issues and because their tests don't indicate any hardware issues then it isn't covered. So buyer beware! I would not purchase this laptop until they can find a fix for the BSOD. At first I thought it was just my set up. But after do more research I found that many others are having the same issue. I did do some additional research today and it sounds like the issue is with the dedicated graphics card (which you pay extra for). Many users mention that disabling that has helped with their issues. So that is my next step. Otherwise I have a $1500+ paperweight sitting on my desk. :(

Bought at BestBuy rather than shopping from Dell hoping to avoid the “blue screen of death” I read about in other reviews for this product. Every other time I open it, it says it failed and needed to restart. I’ve got to make an appointment to come in and talk to GeekSquad to see if there can be a check on this.

I'd love to give this a better review if this issue can be resolved. I bought the laptop Sunday 3/28 at Union Square location. After using it for basic Office programs (outlook, ppt, word) for a week, I noticed taht every once it had some sort of screen blitz thing (see photos) Sometimes just real quick, then a couple times it just stayed like that long enough that I was able to get the photo. Well that's not good. Happened just on the laptop, not my additional screen. And it happened on different programs, not just outlook. The other thing was on zoom, individual camera feed would do that same effect. I took back to Best Buy, they replaced the laptop but said the issue was really that I needed to run the latest Windows update. A bit bugged they would tell me I need to do an update on a brand new laptop, but ok. I set up this new laptop, and did all the latest updates for Windows. Now on day two of using this second laptop, the same issue is happening again. Love to say the computer is great but when you have a brand new laptop and the screen is doing this even for a second you wonder about long term. I tried to contact Best Buy support - for some reason after paying $400 for the protection package when i reached out they told me I didn't have Total Tech Support package and offered to sell it to me. Anyone from Dell or Best Buy is welcome to contact me directly ASAP

My experience with the salesman was positive. I bought a previously purchased unit that has been returned. I have had a couple of instances where the laptop shuts off for no reason. I've gone through all of the utilities in hopes of achieving consistent performance. Hopefully, the updated BIOS and other patches have resolved the problem. If my laptop performs in the future, I will raise my rating.

I really loved this laptop! I've been working in many task and school work and this just has been a lifesaver because it helped a lot. I WOULD recommend this laptop to who ever writes a lot and does a lot of thing so this is laptop would help them on anything they need!!!!!!

This Dell note book work great! Working with medical records at remote location for my company. Highly recommend this product.
