Great

Beautiful laptop for an amazing price, touch screen, number pad, SD slot, HDMI, lightweight & durable! I’m a busy mom of 3 little kids, this laptop has been tossed all over, hit with toys and dropped multiple times yet still standing strong! Internally works amazingly, easy to use, holds hundreds of photos, files and documents. The battery life is standard, and I appreciate the physically charger as it “clicks” into the port, I’ve never had an issue with it falling out while getting moved around. Additional chargers are inexpensive and lightweight!

One of the worst laptops I have ever purchased. Better to get a refurbished MacBook for the same price than this. The only positive is the touchscreen.

Dell has an excellent reputation for building sound computers that perform day in and day out. The Inspiron 15 is very fast and works well with the Windows 11 operating system. I would highly recommend this computer.

I generally prefer to write a review after I have owned the product for a few months, that way I can more objectively provide an honest review of a product (the good, the bad and the ugly). For the price point $589, this Dell laptop is really good and an excellent value! One thing to be aware of!! When I received the LT one of the first things I did is verify the specs. and actual LT hardware, then I checked out the warranty. As it turns out Amazon consciously left out any mention of warranty (I assumed wrongly that this was simply a misnomer on Amazons part, bad assumption). As it turns out the warranty clock started when the LT was delivered to the retail distributor (not Amazon but a third party (busylittlebee)). This means that there was only 4 months remaining on the warranty (originally 14 mo. warranty). I was pissed!!!!!! According to Dells records, this LT was sold to Best Buy, so I dont understand how busylittlebee became the distributor?? Anyway, Dell is a good company and I contacted them, sent them my Amazon Invoice and Dell extended my warranty from the date I purchased the LT to 12 months!! Prior to contacting Dell about the warranty issue I contacted Amazon and Amazons response was return it with an attitude. The LT includes 32GB of RAM which is just right when you have a LT with a touch screen. The larger RAM helps make the touch screen perform better! The huge SSD 1TB is overkill (in my opinion) but no harm. I will not be using this LT for gaming so I did not rate it for this use, primarily being used for multirotor RC devices, recording Drum Covers, misc. other tasks. Others have complained about the display brightness. I took it outside on a sunny day and tested it since this is the environment I will use it when flying my multirotor RC craft. I found the display to be acceptable, readable in sunlight (although there is some glare from the touchscreen), but still the display is adequate when used in full sun outside. The touch screen is very handy when Recording Drum Covers. I use a high performance DT computer for most tasks.

Ive had the computer for 2 weeks - everythings great except for the battery life. Its only good for about 4 hours.

I love it so much more than my Mac

I like having adequate RAM and a generous size hard drive.

I have only had the laptop for about a week. It was relatively easy to set up. The response time of some of the applications has been moderate to good although I dont have everything loaded yet. This concerns me some. The main thing Im unhappy about is regarding the battery. The battery, fully charged, only lasts about 2 hours. This is completely unacceptable. Secondly, while using the laptop, the bottom of the laptop gets extremely hot. So hot, in fact, that I have trouble using it if it is actually on my lap. It gets too hot for my legs. It makes me concerned about whether the cooling system is actually working. I dont plan to return at this point but Im not sure Id recommend it to others especially if the usage needs to be in transit. If you can be tethered to the power cord (like most of my work is) it might ok. I do with the keyboard was backlit, but I knew it wasnt when I ordered it. I really do like the response and feel of the keyboard.
