Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the price, touch screen, and ease of use of the Inspiron 15.6" Touch-Screen Laptop. They appreciate the good value for the features included, enjoy using the touch screen feature, and find the laptop easy to use and navigate. However, customers are negative about the storage space, battery life, and Windows 10 operating system. They feel the storage is insufficient, the battery drains quickly, and Windows 10 requires a learning curve.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Disappointed Purchase

    Computer was fine for a year and then the power hookup stopped connecting. Assuming computer still works but I can't get power to it as the power plug is not connecting to the computer. Very disappointed. Thought Dell was a good product but sadly mistaken. I know I didn't buy the most expensive computer but thought I would get more than a year out of it. Cheaper chrome books for my kids have lasted way longer. Very disappointed

    purchased this laptop as a backup. Within 30 days there was something wrong with it. Tried to return to Best Buy with no luck they told me we had to send back to Dell. With the pandemic I spent 6+ hours trying to work with Dell to return the laptop. Dell did not make good and we are out the money. Will no buy from Best Buy again. They do not stand behind their products unless you pruchase their $200 extra coverage.

    Even though it’s a solid-state drive it doesn’t take long to fill it up. Also, with it only being an i3 don’t expect too much out of it. If you want one for just surfing the web that’s fine but other than that, no.

    Only worked for about 3 weeks, then wouldn’t even turn on. Can’t even give it 1 star. Had to take it back to Best Buy and unfortunately since I was out of town working, couldn’t get it back for awhile, then it had to be sent back to Dell. Never buying another Dell. This was our second incident with a bad Dell computer. The first one was a desk top.

      georgianurse,

      Thanks for your review. We're sorry that your computer is not working the way that you hoped it would. We'd recommend the following steps to help turn your computer on:

      1. If the computer is displaying the Dell logo and does not move past that point, it has probably failed POST.
      2. If the power indicator lights up and it is amber or orange, this is usually an indicator that it has failed POST.
      3. If you see text on a black screen, the computer is currently performing the POST. If the computer stays in that condition and does not move past it, it has probably failed POST.
      4. If the video screen displayed anything at all during the startup process but is now black, this probably indicates that the computer failed POST.
      5. If the computer is beeping or if Caps/Num/Scroll Locks are flashing, note if there is a particular pattern in which it beeps or flashes.
      6. If the computer is not beeping and caps/num/scroll locks are not flashing, unplug all connections and remove all media communication devices (e.g. external monitors); reconnect one at a time and check if the computer functions.
      7. For a notebook, press and hold the Fn key and then press the power button. This starts the pre-boot testing and will launch ePSA. In case you have a Desktop at the Dell logo screen tap the F12 key to enter One Time Boot Menu and use the arrow keys to highlight Diagnostics and press enter.

    Within 3 months it started to give me problems turning it on and now it will not turn on at all. I called dell techs and they could not fix it after several remote calls I just gave up and now it will not turn on at all. I went online and there were hundreds of people who had the same problem....so why is best buy still selling it?

      JL4983,

      Thanks for your review. We're sorry to hear about the issues that you're having with your laptop. If you are still experiencing screen flickering please visit this link in order to install the Intel UHD Graphics Driver (version 26.20.100.7463, A02): https://dell.to/36FfIYn.

      If you'd like to re-calibrate your touchpad, you can follow these steps:

      Some Notebooks and Tablets with Keyboards have added gesture features to the touchpad hardware and drivers. A few of these features are two or three finger scrolling, pinch zoom, circle zoom, rotate and swiping. These new features may be the reason for the erratic cursor movement since most are turned on by default. You can disable or modify the way the features work in the touchpad driver properties. Here are some tips to modify these settings:

      1. In the Search box, type main.cpl.
      2. Touch or click main.cpl in the list of programs.
      3. Touch or click the Dell Touchpad tab.
      4. Touch or click on the picture of the touchpad.
      5. Touch or click Gestures (depending on your computer there may not be a Gestures option).
      6. Change the options as preferred.
      7. Touch or click Save.
      8. Touch or click the X in the upper-right corner to close the Dell Touchpad Utility.
      9. Touch or click OK on the Mouse Properties window.
      10. If the touchpad still does not work after following the preceding steps, refer to Dell Knowledge Base article - http://dell.to/2iaiujA.
