  • Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Love my Dell Inspirion 15!!!

    I have owned many lapops from Macs to low end $200 run of the mill entry level but got the job done type of machines. For me, this was more than I would generally spend at this point in my life. However, it has been worth every penny. Great sound. Great HD for streaming and battery life is wondeful! This laptop has been super reliable and a pleasure to use. I highly recommend it for anyone who is not wanting to spend as much as some laptops can cost. Two big thumbs up from me and I would easily recommend (which I have many times) to friends and would buy again! i added a photo that looks beautiful on mhy screen and also of my writing this review.

    Excellent Performance Laptop

    I've been using this laptop for about a month and a half, and its performance has been excellent. Everything runs smoothly, and it handles multiple tasks well, especially for my studies. The 16GB of RAM is working perfectly. The touch screen is also a great feature, and the keyboard is easy to use. I've done some graphic design work on Illustrator, and the laptop handles it well. Battery life is also good. Overall, it's an excellent laptop, and I highly recommend it.
