The Dell Inspiron Laptop arrived at my door securely packed in a double box. It was pretty much ready to go right out-of-the-box. Setup was easily done by following the prompts on the screen.Overview:The laptop has a powerful AMD Ryzen7 processer. It is lightweight, compact and attractive looking with a 14" display screen and a slim design. It ships with 8GB of RAM (upgradable to 16GB), and 512GB of SSD storage. There are three USB ports (2 type A and 1 type C). There is also a media card reader, audio jack, and HDMI port. (There is no ethernet port.) There are built-in dual microphones, background noise reduction, and enhanced audio speakers. The build-in camera has a privacy shutter. The keyboard is backlit.The laptop needed a few updates to the OS, Windows 11 Pro, before it was ready to use. Once the updates were complete, it wanted me to sign in to a microsoft account to begin setup. While I have a microsoft account, I prefer not to use it every time I sign on. Since this is not a review of Windows 11, I'll just say that there are workarounds for that, just do a google search, and you will find tutorials on how to set up a local account, bypassing the need to use your microsoft account.I have been using this laptop for the past week and it has been living up to my expectations. It is a fully-featured machine that does pretty much everything I need. I am not using it for gaming, so I can't test that out, but it does fine on the internet to access websites, pay bills, write documents (ie google office), play videos; everyday stuff. My husband is using it to do work for his job from home. It's fast and responsive and we both like it.Screen:The screen is bright and the colors are good. I didn't need to make any adjustments. In comparison to my older 14-inch Dell, the 16:10 screen has a bit more area. The bezels are thinner, making full use of the available screen area. The maximum screen resolution is 1920 x 1200, which is more than sufficient for using applications, the internet and watching video. The one thing missing is a touchscreen.Keyboard:The keyboard is comfortable and easy to type on. The backlit keyboard is a huge plus for me. When I use the laptop in the evening, it makes it so much easier to see in a low light environment.The unit has a large touchpad. I find it difficult to navigate and frustrating to use for any length of time. Maybe it's just me. I’m not a touchpad person. If I need to be productive, I use a mouse. If I don't have a mouse, I like to have a touchscreen, which this laptop does not have.Sound:The audio from the built-in speakers is good, much better clarity than I was expecting. The laptop has built in dual microphones and built in noise reduction (I have not tested that yet. I will update when I do.)Performance:Boot-up is fast. The laptop runs quiet, with no noise from the fan. Heat does not appear to be a problem. However, I do use a stand when the laptop is on the table, so I have good airflow. The wifi connection is solid. (One of my older Dell laptops would randomly disconnect, which was extremely annoying, but that seems to have been corrected.)Conclusion:There is a lot to like about this laptop. It's perfect for those seeking a richly featured laptop in an affordable price range. With the addition of more RAM, this could be a desktop replacement for me.
