    Brought this laptop for my grandson who started his 1st year of college. He is very happy with it. It’s light and the touch screen is great. The speed is pretty fast. It’s a great laptop for the price.

    I bought this laptop because my old 32 bit HP laptop could not be upgraded to a modern O/S. I liked the specs and the price. With no demo model to check out I had it shipped to my house. After I got it and unpacked it I found it has no ethernet connection. Wifi only. My main complaint is its like its not really my computer but Microsoft is letting me use it with restrictions. Tried to install Firefox blocked, tried to download a game blocked alway with a message I need to go through the Microsoft store or convert this version of Windows 11 to the S mode (what ever that is) saying if I do I would loose some security. So buyer beware.

    Great laptop from a performance standpoint. Great value for the money. The case is all plastic and not the most durable, so it will not take a lot of abuse.

    Great laptop for the price and you can upgrade to full Windows 11 as soon as you get it set up. It has enough RAM built in to allow the upgrade. Very good choice for a budget laptop.

      Dear Phone Charger,

      Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your Inspiron 3511. We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing an issue with the performance of your battery. That is not the type of feedback we like to hear from our customers, or the type of product Dell intends to deliver. Below I have provided troubleshooting steps to help resolve your issue.

      1. On the notification area of the taskbar, right-click the Battery icon.
      2. On the options list, click Power Options.
      3. Select a power plan on the battery meter, such as Power Saver or Balanced. Windows 10 has a built-in 'Battery Saver' mode that can be activated to extend your system's battery life. 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.
      b) If running Cortana, type Battery Saver into the search box and select from the results.
      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.
      c) Turn the Battery Saver On or Off.
      d) Additional settings are available via the Battery use and Battery saver settings links.
      e) Battery use shows further info on apps and their power usage.
      f) Battery Saver Settings screen allows you to customize further the Battery Saver feature.

    A good computer. Just a little hard for someone older to figure everything out. Guess if you’re technology savvy, it is easier. Just taking me a while longer than I thought it would to learn to use it.

    Lessons Learned: The Pitfalls of Buying Open-Box

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

    Purchasing this laptop from the open-box section was a regrettable decision on my part. Immediately, I encountered issues as it refused to charge or power on. I had to seek assistance from my local Best Buy, who facilitated the process of sending it to Dell for repairs under the existing warranty. Thankfully, everything was resolved satisfactorily. However, a few months later, my keyboard started experiencing problems. The lesson learned here is to avoid buying open-box items and opt for new ones instead.
