Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the affordability of the Inspiron 15.6" Laptop, often describing it as a great laptop for the price. Many customers also mention its suitability for schoolwork and basic tasks, with comments like "It served its purpose" and "Perfectly suited for my needs." While some customers appreciate its lightweight design and ample storage, a few express frustration with the lack of a CD/DVD drive and the challenges of adjusting to Windows 10.

    This laptop has been working adequately for me though I'm not crazy about Windows 10. Hoping I'll like it better with more use.

    i totally missed the word "omitted" when reading about the cd/dvd drive for this laptop...WHO MAKES A LAPTOP WITH NO CD/DVD DRIVE???? Apparently, Dell does. Very disappointing, and kinda sad that nobody let me know this before my daughter had it loaded up with all her stuff.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      dallasmom,

      We're sorry that your daughter's computer isn't completely meeting all of your needs. Best Buy does offer a Dell external CD / DVD drive that you can purchase here: http://bit.ly/2N8c7bq.

      We hope this helps with the overall functionality that you were looking for.

      Best,
      Bryan

    Before I bought this I read several Reviews that were actually Negative, however I really like the Laptop and wanted to check it out myself. It was on sale, and for the price I could not have bought a better Lap top. It’s Fast, I’m able to Do Graphic design on it upload PNG files with no interruption, I create short videos on it, write papers, surf the Net. All with no problem. Great buy, I’ll probably be buying another one for business use. So glad I didn’t let the negative reviews discourage me from buying a great Laptop.

    Despite having to learn Windows 10, I do like the Dell I purchased. It's lightweight and thin enough to stick in my bag if I need to. It's probably the last laptop I'll purchase as phones now do basically the same thing!
