Customers are saying

Customers commend the Inspiron 17.3" 2-in-1 laptop's large screen size, ease of use, and strong performance, frequently praising its touchscreen functionality and impressive graphics capabilities. Positive feedback also highlights the fast SSD and ample memory, along with the appreciated 2-in-1 versatility. However, some users note the laptop's considerable weight and tendency to overheat during extended use, while others find the price point to be somewhat high.

      Hello,

      Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We are sorry to hear that your laptop is running warmer than you would like. Below are steps that can help with overheating in the future.

      Here are the recommended steps for troubleshooting overheating:
      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.
      7. This article contains further details that can help with your overheating: http://dell.to/2uJ8AdG.

      We recommend following the steps above to resolve your issue. If the issue continues, please contact our support team here: https://bit.ly/DellSupportTeam.

    I loved it while it worked, but after a couple of years it suddenly started crashing and restarting. It was an occasional problem that gradually became more frequent until it would have several times in a day. I had hoped for a longer lifespan.

    Had computer literally 4 days and had to send it to Dell for a compete repair. So far the motherboard was bad, the cpu fan was bad and so was the lcd. Problem I am having is Dell replacing the computer instead of repairing what was supposed to be a new RELIABLE COMPUTER. I've yet to hear, dell has the worst customer service!! Buyer beware!

    I bought this for teaching (business) and I thought it came with MS Office 365, but when I got it, there wasn't even a 30 day trial version. For me, sort of like owning a new car without a steering wheel. Had to back to my old Lenovo Thinkpad. I'm writing this review on it. EXTREMELY disappointed.

      Webcam,

      Thanks for your review we're sorry that your computer is no longer working the way that it should. You can try these steps to try to get your computer started again:

      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.

    I wish I NEVER would have purchased this at all. It has been nothing but issue after. Purchased this and mic never worked, took to Geek Squad but nothing still. They reset it literally thats it and cant even use for work for the dialer. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS!!! It is no where near what it says not to mention it doesnt hold a charge. I charge 5-6 times throughout the day then I have to pay them again $40 literally to even LOOK at it. Never purchasing again from here.

The first one I brought they didn't even have it in stock and this was I have had nothing but issues with and I am out of the window to return it. I think the speakers are blown as the sound is terrible and I still get some sort of error code when I start the computer and the fans are really loud like there is something wrong with the computer.

    Received from Best Buy partialy loaded with data from old machine. Old machine was damaged in transfer, had to replace operating system, lost valuable radio programming apps, 1 $150.00 and much time. Desktop items, mostly microsoft 365 were scattered throughout the system and had to be hunted out and moved to the desk top. I had to cancel class lessons on the evening the machines were picked up, neither machine was functional as received. now this machine is not opening google chrome or opening with a frozen white screen. I have gone through two repair sessions with the Geek Squad, about three hours each. I am taking it to my normal repare shop tommorrow.

      Engineer,

      Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry that there are not enough included ports on your new laptop to meet your needs. You can consider purchasing an adapter that will add additional USB ports to your laptop. With regards to the fingerprint reader, perhaps this will help:

      Updating the Goodix fingerprint sensor driver to 3.10.30.110 or newer will fix the issue.

      To download and install the latest driver:

      1. Browse to the Dell Drivers & Downloads page: Support Site Drivers Page
      2. Ensure you have the correct System Type
      3. Select the Operating System
      4. Under Category, select Security
      5. Locate the latest Goodix Fingerprint Sensor Driver (A04 or newer)
      6. Click Download and save the file to your computer
      7. Open File Explorer and browse to the location where the downloaded file is saved
      8. Double-click the Sensor setup file and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process
      9. You will need a system restart to finalize this installation.

    Bought this computer as open-box condition. When I went to the store, I opted for curbside delivery. When the employee brought it out, it was placed in a plastic bad. It was not put in a box or any kind of packaging. Nothing to protect the computer. Also there was not any documentation. When I plugged in the computer, a got a message saying that it was the wrong charger for the unit. The charger was only 45w when the original charger was 90w. Returning computer.
