Customer Ratings & Reviews

This Dell Inspiron is in-between being a low-end and a high-end laptop. I think for most people this checks a lot of boxes and accomplishes a lot. Someone who wants the best of the best will get a more premium laptop from Dell or another company. However, for most people this is perfect. The screen has a major drawback, it does not get bright enough. I showed my family a website and they had a hard time reading it. We were inside with minimal light coming through the windows. It is brighter when you look straight at it. If someone is looking from the side it loses half of its brightness. Using this outside will be nearly impossible. Besides that, I have no other issues with the screen. It seems to be a 16:10 aspect ratio. Which is great because you get more real estate. It’s a 1900x1200 resolution that looks clear. It is also a touchscreen. In terms of performance, it seems to be pretty powerful. I knew without a doubt it could handle web browsing or Word. My main worry is that, could it handle Photoshop, video editing or some light gaming? I will say it has had no problem with whatever I have thrown at it. Of course, I would not buy this to replace a gaming laptop. However, for someone who plays Among Us or Minecraft, light games like that, it will be just fine. I was surprised how smooth video playback was when I was in Premiere Pro. It did not hiccup at all. It also does wake up quickly if I put it in sleep mode. Most people will never have to worry about it running out of space, 1TB is plenty. Also, it’s SSD and not HDD, which improves performance. The build is great. It is light but not ultra-light like an ultrabook. There are not any sharp edges. It feels durable. Compared to an Apple laptop, those are built to be more durable but this is pretty close. I have no issues with the keyboard and it’s a great addition that its backlit. There is also a finger print reader. It has unlocked for me every time except one time. Overall, pretty accurate. There is a great port selection. I am surprised that for something so thin, they included an SD card reader and a full-size HDMI port. That is unheard of on most laptops. The speakers sound great. My only gripe would be the hinge. It is impossible to open with one hand. I have grown accustomed to laptops that open easily like that. I travel a lot. My job gives me a loaner laptop that is about ten years old. I will be traveling with this laptop now. I have been testing different wall plugs to see if I bring a smaller adapter when I travel. I have a 30W plug and a USB C cable that charges the computer fine. I tried a 12W and 20W and nothing happened. It did recommend I use the supplied 65W charger. It does not charge fast but that’s alright. Even if I am doing something that is pushing the system, it should last the 4-5 hours I need it for. Then it can charge overnight. I am happy, I now have a lighter, more powerful laptop and a lighter power adapter now.

Unfortunately, the very first purchase I had with this laptop was an open box. Apparently it was certified and it turned out to be defective so I had to return the Best Buy return this and get a new laptop. Other than that the new upgraded laptop is perfectly geeks squad did not do a very good job of certifying the open box.

Haven't had it that long, but so far so good. It's working just fine and perfect for what I needed it for.

amazing laptop. fast memory. sharp clear resolution.

Needed to update my Dell Inspiron 7405 2-in-1 for more speed and storage. The 7430 is a newer and faster version. 14 inch Full HD touch display screen with built in webcam (privacy slider also built in). Intel Core i7 processor is much faster than the AMD Ryzen in previous model. This has 16GB memory and a 1TB Solid State Disk drive. Intel Iris Xe grpahics instead of Radeon. Comes with Windows 11 Home installed and a free month of McAfee LiveSafe that I removed since I already have a year of another brand. It has wirelss Bluetooth and built in wifi. No ethernet port. Has SD Card reader but no DVD/CD. HDMI port and two Thurnderbolt 4 USB-C ports for super fast charging. Doesn't seem to matter which one you plug the USB-C charging cord into, they both charge super fast. Battery claims hours of use on full charge so I will have to test to see how accurate that is. The hard part is unplugging the charging cord. It has to be pulled out perfectly straight level to release unlike the old round charging cords. Best part is a backlit keyboard with the rubbery keys that don't click alot. It took me a while to figure out the power button. Hold it down until the keyboard backlight flashes to get it to start up. It has that annoying function where it will start automatically if you have closed the lid and then open it. I turned it off using the F2 function to get into the settings. The right side has a USB 3.2 Gen 1 that I used to plug in my wireless mouse. It also has a headphone jack. There are speakers on the right and left side of the keyboard that work much better than the ones hidden on the back or bottom of other models. The screen can be turned into four configurations so it can be used like a normal laptop, and 3 variations of a tablet. It also has a fingerprint reader but those never work for me for more than a couple uses since I don't have fingerprints. I'm really impressed with the updates compared to my previous model that was only 3 years old. Other than the power button, it is much more user friendly.

i wish it had an extra USB port, other than that, it works great.

Slim and works well. The audio glitches occasionally but other than that, it is a serviceable laptop

Great overall computer! I am very happy with my purchase

I was very disappointed in the communications with the geek squad in store.

Bought this for my son to use for his high school classes and he really enjoys this laptop.

As good as expected. Will definitely buy it again for sure.

It's a good product to buy all the spec's are good
