      WARBAR,

      We're sorry to hear about the overheating that you're experiencing with your new laptop. We'd recommend the following tips to help your computer operate at a cooler temperature:

      Tips for Proper Usage:

      1. Dell does not recommend placing portable systems directly on your lap. Due to reductions in the thickness of modern portable systems, heat transfer can be an issue.
      2. Using a portable system (Laptop) on a hard, flat, non-cloth surface will increase airflow and reduce heat from underneath and inside the system.
      Using the portable system on a blanket, pillow, or other types of cloth will cover up the fan cause the computer to overheat and can cause permanent damage.
      3. It is recommended to use the portable system in a Room temperature of 0°C to 35°C (32°F to 95°F) with a Humidity level no greater than 90%.
      4. Use compressed air to clean the vents on a regular basis.
      5. Using a cooling pad can decrease heat and increase performance.
      6. If you want to know the temperature limitations for your system, go to the Dell Support Website, look up your system model then open the user guide under the manuals link.

    Bought this for work. I work from home and have it connected to 2 Dell monitors. It's been great. I run a lot of programs and haven't had a problem. Quick to start up and quick to load.

    Overall it works good. Camera however is extremely low resolution, like a phone camera of 2000's. taking pictures shows severe pixellation. Also, Microsoft Edge has these built in ad features that have adds pop up on your desktop. Took a while to figure out how to disable. Not good if you want this laptop for your kids.

    Great computer. The screen size is impressive for a 13.3" computer. It's fast and works well with all the encryption software my company requires. It does everything I ask of it.

    Purchased Dell Inspiron in May for daughter as high school graduation gift. Did research and saw this seemed like a good choices as I had previously had a Dell laptop and it lasted for years. After about two months, my daughter brought it to my attention that when she was on video chat or Zoom meetings, the bottom of the computer screen was blurry. I suggested we take it in, as it was under warranty and we had also purchased Geek Squad protection plan (which is a joke). Daughter took it in on July 23rd to our local store to see if they could fix it in-house. She was under the assumption (based on conversation with local agent) that it would be fixed in house so she would have it in time for school. This was on July 23. Fast forward to today, 8/31, many calls later to Geek Squad, Best Buy 800 # and local store, no one can give me an update as to where my computer is and when it will be returned. I was told they would not refund, they would not give me a loner, but I could definitely buy another computer so my daughter could have one in time for school. No one knows anything. I call and get transferred around or just get the run around that they don’t have a way to get ahold of Geek Squad. Even Geek Squad customer service cannot check status, they can only see updates that I can see. Apparently they don’t have the means to contact the warehouse where my computer is being worked on to see when it will be fixed or sent back. They do however, still want to collect the money each month, because I will be charged a late fee if I don’t continue making payments for a defective product I don’t even have, because it is in “their warehouse “ somewhere. I’m beyond frustrated with The whole situation and will NEVER shop at BestBuy again!!!!
