The Battery Saver mode will monitor and limit background activity and other features such as push notifications. You do have the option to enable or disable this mode within settings or within advanced Battery Saver settings, you can customize the mode to best suit your needs.
a) Click on the Action Center icon in the taskbar and select the tile for Battery Saver.

Within the Battery Saver settings page, you will be able to turn on and off the feature and customize the feature to best meet your needs.

GOOD Solid Laptop.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.GREAT Laptop. Fast and solid this was a gift for my son. Uses it for school LONE STAR college and no problem. he loves it.
I would recommend this to a friendSafe Purchase, very FAST!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this computer to update to windows 11, from my similar windows 10 computer. I primarily use this computer for DJing weddings, clubs, private parties. The speed of downloading is wicked fast, and I like when opening the computer, that it raises the rear of the computer to allow more efficient cooling. My previous computer would sometimes shut down from overheating in certain situations. I love my Dell's, and no, you can't have it back!

I would recommend this to a friendNot good
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I came to see this laptop in person after purchasing it online. I was reading reviews all day and watching countless YouTube channels that reviewed this laptop, hoping that the negative ones weren’t true. Though upon seeing it, I noticed that it was overheating x10 more than the other “value” computers sitting next to it (even the cheaper ones). In addition, the hinge issue everyone’s been talking about seems likely because of how low-quality the computer’s material simply felt overall, including the hinges. The graphics on the display were great and vibrant, which was a plus, but the overheating ultimately made me not want it. It was overheating by just sitting open at Best Buy on their home page, so I can’t imagine how hot it would get once I started really using it. I ended up never picking it up and getting a refund.

I would recommend this to a friendFast Laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Runs really fast as opposed to some other laptops we have owned in the past. SSD is certainly the best route.
I would recommend this to a friendVery good computer with an SDMI slot, too!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This computer really fits my needs. I mostly check email and occasional utilize it for word processing or spreadsheets. I like to store my pictures on it, too. That's why I love that it has an SDMI slot. This was a good deal and works for what I will use it for. Keep in mind, this is not set up to be a gaming computer, but the specs on it work perfect for what I need.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have always got HP laptops, but this time I wanted to try a new brand. This Dell laptop is great for the price and for what I need to do with it.
I would recommend this to a friendDell is Great, MS not so much
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the laptop, not the operating system. Microsoft released their secure version. That means you can only use programs MS wants you to use (read no competitors) or you "break" the secure function. It also means my older, paid for version of Office can't be used. So eventually I'll get tired of not having Word and break the Secure so I can upload software to make it useful without paying for 365 every year. What a rip-off.
I would recommend this to a friendCharging port dead after 6 months....
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The price point for this laptop was what attracted me initially. I purchased in August of 2022. By December 2022, I had to replace the charger because the computer tipped off my desk and the connector bent slightly. Then the computer stopped recognizing the factory issued charger after trying to plug it back in. Weird that it stopped working but the replacement was $25 so I just chalked it up to random occurrence. It is now March 2023, the same thing started up again and now, the laptop wont charge at all. The connection to the cable and laptop is also loose. Which I have now learned is a common problem and was quoted a minimum of $325 to service. That's almost as much as I paid for it. I was so disappointed because this is my 4th Dell and my first time experiencing such issues. Lesson learned. I am now looking for another laptop.
