Really good computer, however there is currently no active pen working with it at the moment. Other than that it is good for work, school, or even home.

If you're looking for a powerful laptop, with a big screen and a few tricks up its sleeve, this is the one. Fast, powerful, and sleek looking, the Dell Inspiron 2-in-1 17.3" laptop offers plenty of RAM, a full size keyboard with number pad, and sufficient storage. The video card is adequate to support some decent games on low settings, but if you're looking for a gaming machine, move on. The brushed aluminum case is very attractive, and the whole unit has a very sturdy feel to it. Weighs about 6 lbs, which might seem like a ton compared to smaller machines, but isn't bad compared to similar laptops. We don't do much traveling; at the same time, we're looking to do some downsizing at home. This laptop was a great replacement for our old desktop machine! We've owned it less than a month, so it's a little early to give it 5 stars, but this machine is a smooth operator, and a real pleasure to use, so what the heck!?!

Great laptop... very fast and has a very large screen for those who like who do not want to use a separate monitor. It is heavy for a laptop for I attribute that to overall quality and is not a concern.

I lost my previous laptop to an unfortunate accident with a glass of water out of the blue. I had concerns I would not find anything I loved as much and I had very high expectations of my new laptop I was picking out. I will say I had my doubts as I brought this dell home. My previous laptop was an asus 2 in 1. The 2 in 1 features and touch screen were what finally convinced me this was the one despite that I really wish it had a stronger graphics card, I have had no issues thus far and have been able to run everything I could ask for at speeds surpassing my asus. As a hobby photographer I also had doubts about the ability this computer would have as to running Photoshop and light room. I have to say it has surpassed my expectations. I never would have thought I would say I actually found a laptop I love more than my old one... but this one... I just might. (All that being said I did by an external hard drive that I am storing all my files on to keep the clutter down on this ones drive)

Eye popping speed, elegant design, all the features many other laptops leave out and a big beautiful screen to enjoy all on. Marry that with the fold over design of a 2-in-1 and you are living the life. It has passed up my highest expectation in all areas, but having the two in one feature is an absolute kick in the pants. The I7 10th gen chip and 16GB of ram absolutely rip, so having a bunch of stuff open and in use is no problem. I must say this the first computer I have owned to be able to really provide that level of functionality, while many before it have boasted they could, this one does. Dell nailed it with this one!

Seems to be a good computer, but no CD player for we folks from the old school. Normal Microsoft 10 learning curve problems. Too bad they did away with 7. Could use some more USB ports. Battery seems to last as advertised. Touch screen works ok. Have not figured out how to stop the dell pop ups yet. They are annoying. You would think, after ignoring them a few times, they would stop on their own. Took awhile to figure out how to get google chrome to download and load. Bing would not go anywhere near it. Desktop wants to arrange itself the way it wants it as opposed to the way I would like it to be. Only one icon left that still moves itself. Hopefully it will stop eventually like the rest finally have.

This Dell 2 in 1 laptop is sleek in design and the light up keyboard is a really nice feature as well. The specifications of this device covers everything I needed in regard to design, functionality and speed. The price was very reasonable as well. I must say the first time I turned it on and used it I was blown away with the speed vs. what I had been working with for several years prior. Being able to flip it over and use it as a tablet is going to be really nice when traveling to save on space.

I usually buy 17.3" laptops, but when I go to Europe I take my 11.6" LENOVO that weighs 2.8 lbs. I have a LENOVO 17.3" Gamer, but it weighs 10 lbs. so the DELL weighs 6.5 lbs. and that is a lot lighter than 10 lbs. I really keep the DELL at home, but now it is easier to carry around. Both 17.3" laptops are HD, but the DELL has a better picture.
I would definitely recommend buying this laptop. As a matter of fact I bought 2 of them. One for me and one for my wife. She also likes the bigger screen. She has a DELL 13.3" that she takes with her to Europe. We both work in the EU.
The latest ratings on laptops puts HP, ASUS and DELL in that order. APPLE is rated number 10-WOW! I am not a fan. Here is where you can find the ratings: Best & Worst Laptop Brands 2019.
Good hunting if you are looking for a laptop.

I wanted a fast laptop with a big screen so I can work on CAD and graphics programs on the road. This is like taking my office with me, which is exactly what I was looking for.

Nice sleek design, great screen size, great capabilities, a bit heavy for travel and a bit stiff to open. Great color and screen quality. Battery length is a bit of a problem-dies fairly quickly. Good memory size.

This is my standard work station and it has performed well over the months.
The battery life isn't good and I wish its screen worked with the digital pens instead of the capacitive touch screen (I learned there was a difference after purchasing). It's also very heavy, but I knew that I wouldn't be carrying it around much.
Overall great performing laptop for daily use and average programs. I do run Zwift on it as well and it renders pretty good. Occasionally it gets choppy.
Tablet feature is good, but because of the weight, it doesn't get used in that manner much.

Love this laptop. We bought the i7 core and the speed is fantastic, I can open several programs at a time and it responds immediately. I also love the versatility of it being a 2 in 1 because at a mome9notice, I can just flip the screen and use it as a tablet. My intention was to use it as my desk computer only so I bought the 17" screen, but I find myself using it a lot as a tablet, so it's a little big to do this conveniently but I still like it a lot, it's just if you plan to use it as a tablet more, you'll probably enjoy the smaller size that can be used with more ease.
