Customer Ratings & Reviews

This laptop took 11 minutes to open and start up, eight additional minutes to open Word. Perhaps this was a dud, however, this PC was returned for a refund.

I had problems getting to websites, I kept getting an error message on every attempt saying the site was not secure. I finally took it back to Best Buy and it cost me $180.00 to get them to attempt to repair it. I was 2 weeks past the 30 day warranty period according to them.

This is a great laptop! We needed a windows based laptop for our 7th grader to use in school. Chromebook’s are great starter laptops but they just can’t keep up with the demands of middle school. I was looking for something similar in size to the existing Chromebook and settled on this 14” screen model. The features are stacked in this laptop, processing power, memory, incredible screen and robust battery life! Immediately when opening the box and yanking out the laptop you can tell the construction is greater than most (outside of Apple) and love the use of aluminum in the case. Almost 4lbs makes this a boat anchor when it comes to portable laptops BUT I am hoping that translates well to being durable. Other features that sold me where the 2 in 1 design and flexibility in not just being a standard laptop. There is an optional pencil to capitalize on the touch screen if you wanted to take notes when you convert it to tablet mode. Dell does a great job with tech specs vs. price in this model and having tons of reasons to last a few years in school. I do appreciate the standardized USB-C charging and holy moly the screen is vivid. That was one of the first observations of my 13 year old vs his Chromebook, almost 3 times the resolution with the same screen size! Plus Dell utilizes a technology that reduces the amount of harmful blue light emissions that come off that incredible screen. Battery life was respectable and a full day of school drained it down to about a quarter remaining. I suspect as he uses it for more coding and 3D printing software, it will not last as long. When battery life does get called into question, charging it is expedited using Dell’s ExpressCharge technology which in 60 minutes will charge the battery to 80%. The keyboard feels solid and has a nice backlight feature. You get all the necessary connection ports ,6 total, that you would expect that consist of HDMI out, USB x 4, SC card reader, and headphone ports. I do like the built in slider that closes/blocks the camera. The fingerprint reader is a nice touch for easier access when you need to password protect your laptop. With that ease of access also comes something you wouldn’t usually expect from a laptop but the speakers do put out decent volume and quality. Dolby Atmos technolgy is incorporated into the speakers and when you compare to newer Macbook Pros it does sound decent. I would expect that volume to come from a much larger sized laptop. This was definitely a HUGE jump up from a middle of the road Chromebook, we took a chance on getting something that should last longer based on his needs in school. Intel’s new core7 processor paired with 16gigs of memory and a 1TB SSD hard drive, it should be exactly what’s needed as the classes and curriculum gets more challenging. My 7th graders review - Stuff loads super fast, the screen is phenomenal, I have so much more storage for software and homework. It also has much better speakers and lasted me the whole day! This computer is going to be perfect for me.

Extremely disappointed. Primarily purchased for simple use including Office 365. To date have been unable to successfully install Microsoft Office 365. Problems with one of the most highly used applications is very concerning. Install just hangs.

Unable to get resolution for the product I bought. Store says to contact customer service and customer service asks to visit store. Very unhappy. Even if product doesn't work, Best buy is unwilling to help me for a product bought in less than 2 months.

Item crapped out less than 3 months into getting it. Won't power on. Cord lights up and usb port is active... the power port just won't work!!!

Man, this is a really great computer, so much so that it’s hard to know where to start. Out of the box, this comes with all recycled and recyclable packaging. The packaging doesn’t look sleek or expensive but I’d rather help the earth so that was a win. The packaging is also very bare bones where you’re just getting the computer, charging cord, a one page warranty/safety notification and that’s it. Perfect! The exterior itself is really smooth with a metallic blue, almost silver finish. Obviously being a 2 in 1, the point is that you can use the laptop as a tablet by swiveling the screen around. The laptop is super easy to use and easier to setup, with full Microsoft support if you have other Microsoft apps/products being easily integrated. There are also 2 USB-A ports, a USB-C an HDMI port, a micro SD card slot, and audio jack included. The front camera has a switch next to it that will allow concealment if needed. I felt the camera was one of the minor flaws as it’s very average for how quality everything else is. Upon startup I was blown away by how crisp the screen looked from a visual perspective. You can power on with a fingerprint touch button, which is super responsive and fast, tons better than the thumb prints on old iPhones for comparison sake. As for screen quality, the blacks are dark and the whites are light, with all color popping in between. The screen acts as a touch screen while in tablet or PC format. The storage is incredible at 1TB and with the processed and 16GB of Ram, you’re going to be smooth sailing. As for audio, I was surprised at not only how loud, but crisp it was as well. Very rare for a laptop for the most part so big thumbs up here. This is FINE for gaming, as it’s not a gaming laptop so I won’t ding them for that. Nothing to right home about either way. All said, this is a really fantastic laptop that is quick, easy to use, has great pictures and video, a solid battery life (around 5ish hours while not plugged in, multiple attachment jacks, and can double as a tablet. Would I want to sit here and work on spreadsheets every day of the week or try to win a game of Call of Duty on it? No, but besides that it’s dang near perfect. An easy choice

Absolute piece of garbage. Already freezing after 1 month use and Best Buy will not allow a return after 2 weeks. Total waste of money and will never purchase from Best Buy ever again.

The screen got cracked easily. I didn’t even know when it got damaged. It was just attached to my display and was using it as a system.

Ordered laptop while in store. I was been told that the laptop is available in warehouse. After completing payment process, they went to search for the items. After 20 mins of fanatic search, came the news that it’s not available but will be made available in couple of days. It’s exactly 15th day now, still waiting

Wouldn’t hold a Zoom conference call, kept freezing and dropping in connection. This was why I purchased the computer. Returned it for a different brand

Thought it would be a great laptop with the given configuration but the battery drains really fast and even performance is not so great.

The Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 is a great on-the-go laptop. The 14 inch screen is small enough to not take up too much space but large enough to be useable. The weight makes it light enough for me to use one had to carry while tapping away with my other. Battery life estimates on Windows shows just under 11hrs under my usage which was mostly web browsing and a little content watching. Nothing too strenuous. The shortest estimate that Windows displayed was under 4hrs during updates, but updates didn't take the full 4 hours for me to verify that. I check to see if they might have slipped in Windows Ink support in the 2-in-1 but seems the specs are correct - no pen support. It would been nice using the 14" screen for some artwork and handwritten note taking. The biggest irritation, as with so many computer mfgs, is the bloatware. Weird thing is that MS's own office apps take longer to uninstall than McAfee. Not only is the entire Office suite installed, but there are threed laguage versions that need to be removed. I could have done 4 clean installs faster than it took to remove Office. Other than the bloatware annoyance, the Inspiron 14 2-in-1 offers a wonderful experience with enough horsepower and battery life to take you through a day's (or most of a day's) work.

One star is also waste. Web Cam is not working, Bluetooth is not working and getting issues with Wi-fi. Connect to support and did updates and settings for up to 5 hours but nothing change.

Purchased for my son as a gift. He does music production and there is an issue with sound latency that Dell can not fix. Useless laptop

I was upgrading from another Dell laptop so the transfer sequence was easy. I didn't lose any information stored on the cloud and the transition was seamless. That being said this new laptop is way lighter and compact (no number pad on the side). The responsiveness of the keys are really quick and feels really good when typing. The fact that the memory is 1TB is not as wild to me as it is starting to be more common in laptops. However, the processor that keeps the laptop functioning properly and efficiently is quite impressive. Dell has worked out a lot of kinks with the Intel core i7 much so that it has become the standard to guarantee top performance to casual computer users. Even for gamers, that's the minimum requirement for optimum results. The laptop is thin and easy to carry and has all the necessary ports for media entertainment and extra peripherals. It also folds and functions as a tablet! Great for mobility and ease of access to certain apps. This laptop has awesome versatility!
