    Good laptop, crappy keyboard layout

    Been a year since I got this laptop (open_box Excellent). It works well overall for my use, or rather for my kids for attending their online extra curricular classes (zoom/google meet) and occasional use of photoshop and web browsing. The keyboard layout is horrible though with the power button next to the delete key. The power button in unmarked, had no backlight (unlike other keys) and is configured to put the laptop to sleep out of the box. Since this is an open_box, I had some issues initially where I needed to do hard restarts a few times, but every time I press the power button, it would just go to sleep. Was pretty troublesome until I just disabled that button completely. Bios is configures to charge up the laptop to 80% and start charging when battery is depleted to 40%. Overall battery life is OK for my use where it is mostly plugged in. Still have issues sometimes where the laptop would freeze or just hang on the "Dell" screed while restarting without moving forward. Would reconsider buying open_box in future.

    Great laptop. I got it on sale so it was that much better a value. It's got a great picture. I was really wanting a two in one. Has two real ram slots so it's easily upgraded. I did not give it five stars because it does not have any room for a SATA SSD, and only one mvne slot. But overall. It's very snappy with the dual channel 16 gb kit I installed. I like that the battery lasts much longer than my old laptop. Another plus is that the battery can be upgraded as well.

    I purchased this computer a week ago and have been using it ever since. This computer has performed excellent. The screen is vivid and I have no problem viewing content. I use the computer for evening college classes and my work. I do not game so I cannot comment on that. I would recommend this computer as it has performed excellent and the price is much in line for a worth while purchase.

    Great laptop! Very fast, practical, and the touchscreen works perfectly. The Ryzen 5 processor runs everything smoothly for work, school, Zoom, browsing, and multitasking. I love the 2-in-1 design because it works as both a laptop and a tablet. The battery lasts a long time, and the quality feels premium for the price. Definitely a great purchase and highly recommended!

    Had for about a week now. Setup was easy, Dell has been on top of this for a long time. Fast and was able to go into settings and address a complaint others have had with the fan noise. There is a Dell setting to reduce the noise and it works very well, squelching the concern. Added 2024 Office Standard and 2024 Visio Pro with no issue, expeditiously. Not enough time in on the battery to provide a solid answer, display is great, backlight seems necessary these days and it works quite well. Bought at $399, feeling pretty good so far.

    I wanted a relatively inexpensive laptop for light business use. This fits that bill very well. Great speed and design for the price. Feels a bit heavy for its size, but it appears solid/well built. I’m very satisfied.

    I've had this for about a year now and it works excellently. We added extra memory on it though. If you are loading games on it it will likely need the additional memory. If you're not gaming it's probably good as is.
