    Purchased open-box ("excellent" condition) and it arrived within three business days. Was able to set up basics and downloaded a few programs. I was idle for a few minutes, screen went black and never got the laptop back on. Computer was not charging when plugged in. Lasted less than 2 hours of usage.

    Works surprisingly well. Screen is bright and responsive. Windows 11 works really good with touchscreen controls. Wish this could fold into a tablet!

    This Dell Computer Sucks!!

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

    Purchased this in Nov 2022. The hinges separated from the screen and had to have them replaced less than a year from date of purchase. Dell did the replacement since it was still under warranty. Same problem occurred in October 2024. No longer under warranty and I have to pay to have it fixed. Will cost over $200 for repair. November 2024 it shut down on me and I can't get it started again. Piece of crap. Purchased a new computer. Will never purchase another Dell again for personal use.

    I would have been really upset buying this had I purchased it at the normal price. It was fine for the first few months, but the laptop's display and responsiveness are getting worse. I've only had this laptop for three months. Lately, the screen will occasionally blackout. Since my company uses Google Workspace, I may switch to ChromeOs next.
