Took 90 minutes for all the updates to install. The speakers and HDMI output looks great and it does the job. Plays 1080 MPEG videos to a large screen for demos. Its also super light, feels like a solid college rulled notebook.
Absolutely have to upgrade the RAM to 8 GM Minimum because the memory is shared between to OS and the Intel 620 Graphics. Get is now its very inexpensive and easy to upgrade.
Pro Tip it shares the same 45W power supply as larger HP 17.3" laptops. So switching it from desknti desk is easy is an open office plan. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful Disappointing, December 30, 2017 This review is from: 2017 Dell Inspiron 15.6 HD Touchscreen Flagship High Performance Laptop PC, Intel Core i3-7100U Dual-Core, 6GB DDR4, 1TB HDD, DVD RW, Stereo Speakers, MaxxAudio, Bluetooth, Windows 10 (Black) (Personal Computers) Had to return this. I love Dell computers so I was very sad when I had to return this product. When it arrived I was a little disappointed in how inexpensive it felt. The texture feels very plasticy. I had problems right from the beginning. The sound worked sometimes, but not other times. The computer would freeze when loading websites and it would freeze when I would type on Word - not something that takes a lot of memory, so I have no idea why it was so glitchy. I contacted Dell and there was a very nice tech who helped me. I let him take control of the computer and he ran all of the diagnostics and couldn't get it working correctly either. He said he was going to do an exchange for me. I told him it was important that I have a working computer quickly for a project I was working on. He said he understood. For two weeks I checked the status of my request and it said open. Then one day I checked it and it said "closed" and when I checked the computer part of it it...

I had to reset this HP to to factory settings today. Since this laptop was delivered July 19, 2017, I have encountered more and more slow responses, freezes, and blue screens of death. For Windows 10, it's a much lighter shade of blue than it used to be. Very frustrating. Wasted lots of time dealing with what the HP analysis tools reported as Windows 10 failures and problems with the partitions it created. Equipment checked out according to the HP analysis program, but it has been behaving suspiciously like the hard drive failure on the Dell this one replaced, I' beginning to discover there are no reliable hard drives or virtual drives. They WILL fail. HP seems to have problems accommodating Windows 10, as do ALL anti-virus programs. Nothing good for my computers on which I installed Windows 10. ORIGINAL REVIEW: My observations after 3 days: RUNS COOL! No overheating problems so far. Nice screen resolution with responsive touch screen... Read more |
