The Dell Inspiron laptop's microphone does not work well. Microphone does not pick up speech well, very low and at times not at all. Very troublesome when working remotely and zoom calls during social distancing.

Remotewrk2020,
We're sorry to hear about the microphone trouble that you're having with your computer. If the device is a headset with mic, you must have the Wave MaxxAudio Pro application installed and then select “headset” as the device in order for the headset mic to work. We hope this helps resolve your issue.

Jonet,
We're sorry to hear about the overheating concerns that you have with your new computer. We'd recommend the following tips to help your computer run at a cooler temperature:
Tips for Proper Usage:
1. Dell does not recommend placing portable systems directly on your lap. Due to reductions in the thickness of modern portable systems, heat transfer can be an issue. 2. Using a portable system (Laptop) on a hard, flat, non-cloth surface will increase airflow and reduce heat from underneath and inside the system. Using the portable system on a blanket, pillow, or other types of cloth will cover up the fan cause the computer to overheat and can cause permanent damage. 3. It is recommended to use the portable system in a Room temperature of 0°C to 35°C (32°F to 95°F) with a Humidity level no greater than 90%. 4. Use compressed air to clean the vents on a regular basis. 5. Using a cooling pad can decrease heat and increase performance. 6. If you want to know the temperature limitations for your system, go to the Dell Support Website, look up your system model then open the user guide under the manuals link.
