Dell freeze/weight
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Froze on startup. Bought it as open box so not surprised. The base is pretty heavy too so if you're looking for something light and portable this isn't it.

Excellent Performance at a Budget Price
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Dell Inspiron 7425 2-in-1 14 is the laptop for the 98% of us. It's an excellent all-arounder laptop at a budget price, with performance and features that rival the highest end laptops of just a couple of years ago. The construction is excellent, with an all aluminum design and a nice, solid feeling keyboard deck. The keyboard deserves note as well. It's a compact, chiclet style keyboard that seems standard on laptops these days, but the tactile feedback is very good. The keys are full sized, nicely spaced and backlit. Typing on it is very fast. One nice touch, the function keys do double duty and can be set as either 'F' keys or media control keys by default. To access the other controls, you use the "Function" key. The 14 inch display is very sharp and bright with a very small bezel. The resolution is FHD+, 1920x1200, which makes the display slightly more square and allows a little extra length for documents, spread sheets, and so forth to be displayed. For videos, you probably won't notice any difference, but if you use this laptop for anything office you'll appreciate the extra display length. The display is touch sensitive and very precise. BTW., I was able to reduce the font scaling to 100% from the default 150% and it was perfectly readable. The display folds all the way back to a 'tablet' type configuration and a separate pen is available if desired. I've used it in 'tent' configuration for watching videos. The size of the Inspiron 7425 is almost exactly the same as the 13 inch laptop it's replacing. At around three and a quarter lbs its very easily carried around. The battery life is excellent, I've used it off and on all day, with a couple of multi-hour stretches and still had around 25% battery left. Compute power is more than adequate, the AMD 5625u surpassing my previous ultrabook's 8th gen I7. Unless you're a high end gamer or running ML training, it should be fine. I've done GoPro editing, video meetings, office, some gaming and video streaming with no hiccups. The AMD on chip graphics performance seems to be really good. The video camera is very sharp, with 1080p resolution and a slide security cover if you're so inclined. Out of the box, you get a USB-c charger, the 2-in-1, and a very brief pictorial showing the location of the ports and important keys. Open the lid and the unit is on. It comes pre-installed with Windows 11, which takes some getting used to. NOTE: During setup, you have to log on using or creating a Microsoft user id, although you can switch to a local user later. There is a fingerprint reader that works very well, enough so that for the first time I've enabled login security on a personal laptop using the fingerprint reader. Once you go through setup and the inevitable updates, you're set to go. The internal SSD is very fast. Closing the lid by default puts the laptop to sleep, I changed it to hibernate because the startup/shutdown times were so fast (maybe 10 sec or so). There are two USB-c 3.2 connectors and either one can be used for charging the laptop, which is very convenient. They can also be used for usb video. Additonally, there is a USB3.0a connector for legacy usb devices and a HDMI connector. There is the ubiquitous mini-jack for audio and a slot for a micro-sd card. Bluetooth 5.0 and WiFi 6AX provide wireless connectivity. The Dell Inspiron 7425 2-in-1 is an excellent value, well built and should last a long time. It provides a surprisingly high level of performance and portability for the price and even not considering the price. Highly recommended!

I would recommend this to a friend Not bad. But not good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The lab top is very tight to open. The key pad you have to press really hard to get the cursor to move. Most importantly the battery doesn’t last long at all. Maybe two days

BUY NEW!! Not open box
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as an open box-excellent, which was probably my mistake. It worked well for a day & then the battery died. While I was using it, it was great. The display was clear. I loved the backlit keyboard. I could have multiple tabs open & nothing would freeze. Super easy to use. If it was new, I’m sure it would’ve been great.
