    I bought this online and did not realize how small the 13 inch screen is. It is a great laptop but I returned it, replaced it with a different computer with 15.6 inch screen.

    I bought this because my apple was about to die and I needed something reliable for student teaching. I love the fact that it’s a 2-in-1 so I can use the tablet and the computer. It’s super easy to figure out and I’ve really grown to love this computer! I’ve always stuck with Mac but I decided to switch and I’m glad I did

    Bought this for my wife who then did not like it and bought a new HP Spectre instead. So I installed the latest Kubuntu 20.04 which found all the hardware, mounted flawlessly, and seems to be functioning perfectly. Found my in-house network and the other computers and TVs. Good backup machine for me.

    This laptop is super easy to carry around and easy to use. I love how it flips into a tablet! It turns on fast and You can use your fingerprint to sign in. The keyboard lights up so it’s good to use in the dark if you’re watching movies on it. Best computer I’ve ever had hands down. So worth the money.

      M3l10das,

      Thanks for your review. We're glad that your computer is working the way that you hoped it would. Here are some tips to help your computer run 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.

    Slick looking, thin, and light. Display is crisp. Very easy to set up and use. I love the finger print log in. It is fast and easy. I have had issues with finger print recognition before with other laptops, but haven't had problem with this one. I feel that I got my money worth!

    It keeps shutting down on its own and when opening it up the screen splits and glitches so that's frustrating. It runs like any new computer would otherwise. The touch screen is very sensitive and the keyboard function keys such as volume doesn't work unless you hold the fn key so that's annoying as well. I probably wouldn't have purchased this laptop had I known that about it since every other laptop I've had has worked just fine with the volume key.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Serendipity,

      Thanks for your review and we're sorry that your computer is not working exactly the way you hoped it would. If you'd like to adjust the sensitivity of your touchscreen you can follow these steps:

      1. Restart the Computer and the Monitor
      2. Go to Control Panel and select Tablet PC Settings.
      3. Under Display tab, select Calibrate.
      4. Choose Pen or Touch input.
      5. Perform the point calibration that appears on the screen to correct the linearity problems.
      6. Save the calibrated data.

    My son is in 8th grade and this is perfect to get him through high school!! Nice and compact to fit in your backpack! Easy to set up and easy to use! The only downside is that I wish the battery lasted longer! Otherwise this was a great buy and I highly recommend it!!
