    Works ok after a couple of years. Seems like the battery doesn’t last as long now. Sluggish at times. Like the touch screen, but wish it had a lit keyboard. Decent for the price

    I purchased this item for my husband for his birthday. This Dell was perfect for everyday use. It was quick to respond and worked as expected. My husband was frustrated with our older laptop but had no complaints about this Dell.

    This laptop is so fast I don’t waste any time waiting for it to load or shut down. I don’t have a ton of pop-ups on it not too many advertisements. I love the convenience of having a laptop I can use where the battery is charged and I don’t have to use wires

    THE BOTTOM LINE

    As a budget laptop shopper, you've got to be willing to make some sacrifices in pursuit of the best value, especially when searching in the $300 to $500 range. Dell’s Inspiron 3000 series, however, has proven itself to be an exception to the rule, offering quality budget notebooks at value prices. Like the 15-inch Dell Inspiron 15 3000 (3505) we reviewed earlier this year, the Dell Inspiron 15 3000 (3511) checks many of the boxes we look for in a good budget laptop—including a large 15.6-inch display, an easy-to-swallow $323 asking price, and Microsoft’s latest operating system, Windows 11. Aspects of the display betray the laptop's budget roots, but it's a decent deal for the money if you decidedly want a Windows machine over a Chromebook.

    My wife purchased this to use for a coding class. It is speedy and has all the expected features. The only thing that she didn't like was that is comes set in a "S" mode that doesn't allow you to download non-Microsoft apps. She did some research and figured out how to get out of that mode and it has been working great for the class. She did decide to purchase a cooling mat because the fan came on more often than she liked so you may consider purchasing one if you have the same issue.

    STARTS FAST AND WORKS WELL FOR ONE MONTH SO FAR. THE BIGGEST ANNOYING PROBLEM IS FAN NOISE. IT SEEMS THE COOLING FAN IS ON MOST OF THE TIME AND NOISY.

    Small screen and hard drive but works very well. I am happy with with it. Didn't like Windows 11, S version which would restrict from whom you can get aps from (e.g. Canon Printer).
