I've been working with this laptop for the past 7 months and it has been awesome. No issues once so ever. It loads really fast when turn on, the picture quality is terrific. The only bummer is the no use for the touch screen with a stylus pen. Other than that; the laptop works perfectly.

Needed to replace my laptop. The experience from start to finish was superb! I was asked what I needed and was sold just that. Nothing less, nothing more. Transferring my data was done swiftly even wirh the dead laptap I brought in. This was an excellent experience.

Defective hinge in monitor

I purchased the Dell Inspiron 3511 on 2/17/23. The right hinge on the monitor screen broke on 10/3/23. Because it was under warranty I was able to send it back for repair. It was returned to me on 11/10/23. Thirteen months later the same hinge broke again. They would not repair it again because it is now out of warranty. They admitted there was a defect with the hinge but now that it is out of warranty they call it 'normal wear and tear'. Never had a problem such as that with any other laptop I've ever owned in over 25 years. Dell Corp does not stand behind their defective products.

Another DELL

This is my third computer in 9 months. Trying to find the right one (computer) is not easy; finding this Dell i think i hit pay dirt. Anyway, it works nicely, its fast, light weight, its a toich screen (a must have) and for viewing videos great resolution. It has not optical drive but not a problem, i have an external drve; also, a Dell, also picked up at Best Buy good price $35.00. Ive only had the computer 3 weeks but for now im pleased with it and the price was just right under $400.00. With pictures it great very clear and bright and for gaming nice too. So if your looking for a laptop that is not over priced and does the job, this is it.
