I am very pleased with this computer. Setup was easy, and so far, the computer has had great speed in processing all tasks I have given it. The display is crisp and clear. I have been using the computer for internet browsing (including primarily accessing financial along with a few medical sites), email, spreadsheet developing and analysis work, and document handling and development. All have gone quite well. I usually get 3-4 hours on the battery before it gets down to about 20% charge left. It usually takes about 2 hours to fully recharge the battery when the remaining charge is 15%-20%. I do not use the computer for gaming, so I cannot make any comments regarding it's performance for this. Finally, I have not found any issues with the computer getting too hot or making any bothersome sounds.
The one slight issue I have is the placement of the light indicating that charging is occurring or is completed. This is on the side near where the power cord is plugged into the machine. This makes it a bit difficult to check on charging unless the machine is sitting sideways on my desk. I would have preferred to have this indicator light on the front. Again, I know this is a very minor issue and can be resolved by turning the machine, but I thought this was worth mentioning.

For the price, this is an excellent computer. It keeps up with my boyfriend's macbook but was less than half the price and has the awesome touch screen. The only thing that annoys me is the battery life won't last all day if I'm constantly on it- I expected to get 8 straight hours out of it while in grad school and I can't get that!

Its a great laptop for the price point. A few upgrade options with the hardware at this price point. You really can't get an extra drive into the HP or Lenovo at the same level. I upgraded the M.2 SSD boot drive and the RAM along with adding another 2.5 inch SSD to add extra storage. Extremely easy to do the upgrades!

Write a beautiful review for a Dell laptop that I bought giving it 5 stars nothing short of a technological masterpiece. The sleek design and flawless finish immediately caught my eye, but it's the impressive performance that truly stands out. Every task, whether it's multitasking between multiple applications or running graphics-intensive games, is handled with ease and speed. The display offers vibrant colors and sharp details, making every viewing experience a joy. Furthermore, the battery life is commendable, ensuring that I'm powered up for longer durations without constantly reaching for the charger. Dell has truly outdone themselves with this product, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Highly recommended!

I bought this to use for schoolwork. It’s fast and overall a good computer. BEWARE…There should be more of a warning to inform shopper that this laptop is in SAFE MODE….Which means you can not download anything if it isn’t from the Microsoft store… and everything I’ve ever needed to download was not offered. I had to buy another computer just so I could download a safe browser for a proctor for one of my school tests and to be able to use my silhouette machine.

THE BOTTOM LINE

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.

Dell is always preferred brand for me. This was a best deal for touch screen range. Thanks to best buy as i was unable to get that even on Dell site. Lite weight smooth keys, most importantly almost no noise.

User friendly , easy to use . Fast speed. Only complaint is Netflix there's no sound on most shows and movies not sure if its the app or the laptop itself. And the pixels on the screen saver is kind of blurry

I got this as a replacement for my old gaming laptop that I gave my daughter that unfortunately stopped working. I wanted something inexpensive that she could to some light gaming on so a Core i5 was the bare minimum. Despite being less powerful than her old laptop, she's really happy with the Inspiron 3511's performance with Roblox. For the $429 I paid for it, I'd say it's well worth the price.
Major things going for it are:
- Full HD display that's clear and bright with a great viewing angle
- Touch display
- Solid build quality
- Good keyboard
- Plenty fast for basic gaming needs

So far its doing well. Start up was a little difficult. A google search told me to plug it in before it would boot. That worked. Windows 11 S. Well. Everytime i tried to install a program i got some pop up blocking it. Back to Google i had to take it out of S mode. Battery life seems not the best. Going to install a new 8gb chip because why not. Seems like a decent value for the money. Came with a “free” Norton six month subscription that requires a credit card. So thats worthless.
