    Great business laptop. This laptop is very fast. It is lightweight, the screen is beautiful, speakers are loud enough, the touchscreen is responsive and accurate. Very good at multitasking as well.

    I purchased this surprising laptop for a work replacement. Of course as only I do I opened it up and it had a full size bay for additional storage for an 2.5 ssd. It also has another empty bay for more ram.

    Pros and Cons

    There are pros & cons. Pro - well priced. Cons 1) No backlight on keyboard & keyboard seems designed off-center by a single key....very strange. 2) Speakers mounted on bottom - very muffled. 3) Final con Is Microsoft itself (not Dell's fault) - comes prepackaged in 'S-Mode' preventing you from uploading any program or changing your search engine (other than Edge) that did not come directly from 'Microsoft Store' (very predatory). Easy fix is to hit Microsoft website and from there toggle Microsoft to take your computer out of S-Mode (the change is permanent)....thank goodness.

    Hot Laptop

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I wanted a laptop similar to my old Dell, which is on its last leg. I was directed at the store to this one as having the most similar specs. Lightweight. The price was good too. However, I am disappointed and still haven't transferred my files. I specifically told the salesperson I do not want a touch screen. This has a touchscreen. I decided to keep it because of the price. When I started to use it, I found that it always felt hot around the battery and even up on the top by keyboard above battery, which concerns me. Of course I keep it on a flat, firm surface, and I have had several laptops over the years. I brought it to the store to Geek Squad and they weren't very helpful and said if it's not giving a warning screen or shutting off, it's probably just like that. I was even asked, "is it hot like you can fry an egg on it?" Another employee was more helpful in Customer Service and said that sometimes when the laptop is thin and plastic, not metal, the heat is felt more. I have it propped up now about an inch off the laptop table, and it seems better, and I'm going to try a cooling pad. But my fault, if I had started using it sooner, within the 2 week return window, I would have returned it. I don't like that it feels so warm.

      Hello Lbell,

      We would like to thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We apologize for the overheating issue you are experiencing with your Dell Inspiron 3511 computer.

      To help with this issue, we would recommend making sure the BIOS is up to date on your PC. I have provided a link to the Drivers and Downloads page so you can check for and do any applicable updates. Dell has also released an Intel Power Management Utility to help with the overheating that you may be experiencing on your computer. For this package to take effect, the system power plan must be set to Balanced under the Additional Power Settings. Also, the Power Mode option that is displayed when you click the battery icon, should be set to Better Performance. This package only takes effect on AC power and not on battery power. The Intel Power Management Utility can be found here - http://dell.to/3tStRgX.

      Please see the steps that should help resolve the overheating issue and a link to the full article below:

      1. Inspect and clean the air vents and fans.
      2. Restart the computer.
      3. Update the BIOS and Chipset driver.
      4. Download and install Microsoft Windows updates.
      5. Run a hardware diagnostic test.
      6. Use Dell Power Manager to manage thermal performance.
      7. Improve efficiency to reduce heat.
      8. Perform a Windows System Restore.
      9. Restore the computer to factory settings.

      If the overheating issue with your laptop is still not resolved after utilizing the troubleshooting options above, please contact the Dell Support Team at 1-800-624-9896 for further guidance.

      Best,
      Katarina@Dell

    This laptop is so fast I don’t waste any time waiting for it to load or shut down. I don’t have a ton of pop-ups on it not too many advertisements. I love the convenience of having a laptop I can use where the battery is charged and I don’t have to use wires

    THE BOTTOM LINE

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    As a budget laptop shopper, you've got to be willing to make some sacrifices in pursuit of the best value, especially when searching in the $300 to $500 range. Dell’s Inspiron 3000 series, however, has proven itself to be an exception to the rule, offering quality budget notebooks at value prices. Like the 15-inch Dell Inspiron 15 3000 (3505) we reviewed earlier this year, the Dell Inspiron 15 3000 (3511) checks many of the boxes we look for in a good budget laptop—including a large 15.6-inch display, an easy-to-swallow $323 asking price, and Microsoft’s latest operating system, Windows 11. Aspects of the display betray the laptop's budget roots, but it's a decent deal for the money if you decidedly want a Windows machine over a Chromebook.

    My wife purchased this to use for a coding class. It is speedy and has all the expected features. The only thing that she didn't like was that is comes set in a "S" mode that doesn't allow you to download non-Microsoft apps. She did some research and figured out how to get out of that mode and it has been working great for the class. She did decide to purchase a cooling mat because the fan came on more often than she liked so you may consider purchasing one if you have the same issue.
