Customers are saying

Customers recognize the Inspiron 17.3" laptop's large screen size, good performance, and ease of use as significant advantages. Many appreciate the touchscreen functionality and ample RAM for multitasking. However, some find the laptop heavy and the limited number of USB ports inconvenient. A slow hard drive and the power button placement were also cited as potential drawbacks.

    Laptop is beautiful but painfully slow to start up. Key travel is also surprisingly short for a laptop of this thickness.

    Wish Inwould have bought a solid state drive, although it was a good deal for the price. I enjoy the larger screen.

    I purchased two of these Dell 17" touch screen 2-in-1 computers for Christmas of 2016. One was a refurbished model that didn't last two weeks before going in for an overhaul. It was fixed by the Geek Squad and has been fine ever since. The second was brand new and six months plus a few days that one gave me the "blue screen of death". Dell won't do anything unless I cough up $129 for one fix or $239 for a year. That's 30% of what the computer cost in the first place. Very disappointed because I thought Dell put out a good product. I will have the Geek Squad give me their advice and will see if I need to revisit this review. Overall, when working, the computers are fine. I like the touch screen and 2-in-1 capability. I have had some sound issues but I can live with that. Not happy that there isn't a native word processing program which, in my opinion, is one of the basic uses of a computer.

    I'm pretty disappointed with this laptop. It runs very slow and sounds light a freight train. Right out of the box it performed this way. I thought I would give it a chance to settle in but a month later it is no better. I would not recommend this for the price.

    Hunk of Junk - Bricked in Six hours!!

    I bought this at 11:30 am this morning. I fired it up and it seemed to be working fine. I installed Skype and then Google Chrome and it was still working. Then I left to do some errands. I returned at 5:30 pm and as I was surfing the internet, it said "Oops! An error occurred and I have to reboot." So, I let it reboot. It rebooted into a message "Hard Drive - not installed". Now every time I turn it on, it says the same thing "Hard Drive - not installed". So in six hours it already bricked. DO NOT BUY THIS HUNK OF JUNK. I need something with reliability. It turned into a brick in 6 hours. This is without a doubt the most unreliable piece of junk I have ever purchased. Needless to say, I am going to return it for a FULL REFUND. Thanks Dell and Best Buy for wasting my time.

    Laptop crashes repeatedly

    Paid over 1000 dollars for the laptop. I took it home, plugged it in, turned it on and it blue screened. It continued to crash every day after that, until I took it back to Best Buy. Yes, I did the driver updates and all the little suggestions that it made for fixing every issue it had with just being powered on. Very disappointing. Also, when taking it back, although we were the only customers in line, the three employees at Best Buy couldn't help us, because one of them was fixing an issue while the other one watched and I am not sure what the other employee was doing, maybe staring off into space.

    After reading all the reviews and looking at the specs I decided on the Dell laptop 2 in 1, and chose poorly. The laptop is really slow and the performance is sub-par. The picture quality is great but I need a faster laptop for school. Not what I was looking for.
