||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a good little laptop to do the basics. This is it! It runs smoothly and displays well. Has enough memory to run small coding projects and Office products simultaneously.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Once I was able to get it up and running after 3 wks is somewhat working fine. In the past when I purchased a laptop it was up and running when I open the box. 365 had to be added separately, no instruction on how to get into the computer, asked for a code that new one had and Dell 800 couldn’t help, check back w/Best Buy and more less told me I was stupid and then they wanted an $50 to give me instructions.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm just starting to use it, but so far, so good. Seems like a quality machine for the price. We needed a functional computer for our church office and this seems like it should do the job.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat value for the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great all around laptop. The only things I wish it had is a little better exterior aesthetic and lighted keyboard. Other than that, it is great!

I would recommend this to a friendDoes the job.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great for Yummy? And jotting down quick notes. However, battery life is not great. At 30% it warns you off low battery and will shut down within 5 minutes of that time.. just while using internet. Nothing crazy. All the heat comes out on the keyboard. Makes it hard to use for long periods. Not great for gaming, internet connection speed on this model is a bit low.

Posted .Hi Wench,
Thank you very much for your valued feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are not too happy with your Inspiron 3505 laptop because its battery life is not as you have expected and it is overheating.
To help with overheating, we would recommend making sure the BIOS is up to date on your PC. I have provided a link to the Drivers and Downloads page so you can check for and do any applicable updates. Dell has also released an Intel Power Management Utility to help with the overheating that you may be experiencing on your computer. For this package to take effect, the system power plan must be set to Balanced under the Additional Power Settings. Also, the Power Mode option that is displayed when you click the battery icon, should be set to Better Performance. This package only takes effect on AC power and not on battery power. The Intel Power Management Utility can be found here - http://dell.to/3tStRgX.
Drivers and Downloads page: https://dell.to/3qJv769
To help with battery life, I have provided the steps to change the power plan to help improve the performance of your battery. I have also provided the full article, which has more options if they are needed.
Change the Power Plan:
1. On the taskbar’s notification area, right-click the Battery icon.
2. On the options list, click Power Options.
3. Select a power plan on the battery meter, such as Power Saver or Balanced. Windows 10 has a built-in 'Battery Saver' mode that can be activated to extend your system's battery life. The Battery Saver mode will monitor and limit background activity and other features such as push notifications. You do have the option to enable or disable this mode within settings or within advanced Battery Saver settings, you can customize the mode to best suit your needs.
a) Click on the Action Center icon in the taskbar and select the tile for Battery Saver.
b) If running Cortana, type Battery Saver into the search box and select from the results.
Within the Battery Saver settings page, you will be able to turn on and off the feature and customize the feature to best meet your needs.
c) Turn Battery Saver On or Off.
d) Additional settings available via the Battery use and Battery saver settings links.
e) Battery use shows further info on apps and their power usage.
f) Battery Saver Settings screen allows you to customize further Battery Saver features.
