Dell Inspiron 15 3520 Laptop, 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1135G7 , 15.6 Inch FHD 120Hz Display, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Windows 11 Home (Carbon Black)

I was nearly put off by some of the reviews. Glad I ignored to see for myself. Caveat..this is not a powerhouse of a laptop. If you want to game or do heavy dtp get something else. If however you want to surf the net, use office, email and watch YouTube/ netflix etc.. this has a cracker of a hd screen. Decent audio. Nice keyboard and it's so lovely amd quiet. When the fans kick on its a gentle whisper. Good connectivity with numerous ports but again not the fastest transfer rates. Someone said there are no lights when charging, there is on the external power supply. You can also check the status on windows. I have been very pleasantly surprised by this machine. The only thing I'm unsure of is the hinge when open become the front feet while on a desk. I have never seen this before so unsure if that will increase wear with age. So only time will tell with that. I'm delighted and would say for an average user this will suit a lit of people. 💯 % would recommend to friends and family.

really enjoying my time spent with the laptop as i got it mainly for coding in college, gaming isnt too bad on it but not the best for newer titles, so you will not be able to play the new call of duty or something like that.

Needed to replace my 12 year old Acer that was starting to run very slow!! My Acer also had an i3 chip, but obviously the version in this Dell is a Gen 12 and is infinitely quicker! I only use the laptop for emails, internet browsing and watching the occasional movie when I'm travelling and it performs all these very well.No complaints at all.

The media could not be loaded. This is ideal for daily home use personal administration and home entertainment. I use Dell for work and this fits straight into my set up. Easy to set up, and quality feels as good as my corporate machine. Haven't tested battery life, but does the job for me.

I have had a number of Dell Business Laptops all of which were robust and reliable. Therefore, when it came to picking a laptop for my parents selecting a Dell was a no brainer. However, it quickly became apparent that this laptop wasn't anywhere near the quality I had come to expect from Dell - the keyboard was the first sign - terrible feel - not backlit. Then the laptop quickly developed a post-boot fault - it went back to Dell for repairs came back with a new motherboard. After a few days the laptop screen randomly started going blank - sent back to Dell for repairs again - this time no fault found. We now have to fight Dell to get the issue rectified. I wish I hadn't bought this laptop and I won't be buying a Dell again. Avoid like the plague!

This is my second Dell Inspiron. The first lasted me years and very reliable.So I bought another. I found the setup very quick, straightforward with no problems experienced.I appreciate a good keyboard to type on and it has a number pad on the keyboard so helpful for those that use numbers a lot.Good value.

it’s a good laptop but is very slow and laggy

I know nothing about computers since the days of MS-DOS and do not like them. In this case the antivirus spent the first month badgering me about the approaching end of the free trial month, so I signed up and shelled out for 13 more months, but in retrospect that seems to have been a hustle and I'm not sure it was necessary. And the machine insists on updating itself periodically (why mess with perfection??). I foresee many other annoyances with it. My old computer I eventually banned from going on the internet to make it just leave my things alone, and I foresee this one also interfering. So it already annoys me and I am still trying to figure out how to use it (like, where are the mouse buttons?) or indeed whether to use it. One good thing about this is it seems to have adequate memory and processing speed for what is installed on it with some headroom for what I want on it, so it does not spend half an hour waking up when I want to use it, like my old PC.
