Dell Inspiron 15 3535 15.6 inch FHD+ (1920 x 1080) Laptop, AMD Ryzen 5 7520U Processor, AMD Radeon Graphics, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Windows 11 Home, English Keyboard, Carboon BlackEPEAT

I bought this to replace an older laptop which had a broken key.The casing is plastic and doesn’t look particularly rugged but my laptop will never leave the house so doesn’t need to rugged.The HD display and camera are a huge improvement in what I’m used to. I can now be clearly visible in online meetings and the display is marvellous. The caps lock has a light indicator on it which is something I’ve not had before. I find the 512Gb drive very generous. It stores all my programmes and data including 150Gb of music files.Programmes open faster than my previous laptop, see belowMy old machine a Pentium Silver @ 1.1Ghz with 8g RAM booted up Windows in 10 seconds and opened Irfanview in 1 second, Liberty Office 7 seconds, Thunderbird 12 seconds and GIMP in 15 seconds.This laptop with Ryzen 5 and 8Gb Ram booted up Windows in 7 seconds and opened:, Irfanview in 1 second, Liberty Office in 1 second, Thunderbird in 3 seconds and GIMP in 12 seconds.The most astonishing thing of all was the price. This machine normally retails at £399 which I thought was a good price and was about to buy it. However I held off till Black Friday and found it on sale at Amazon for £299. This was an incredible deal and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It was definitely the best spec in this price range. I am very happy with my purchase and would definitely buy this again.

Great machine, amazing value

Bought on 24th August during the recent limited time deal and cost £299 noticed on Friday it's now £399.I've had 3 Dell machines over the last 15 years and always been very pleased with them W7, W10 and now this one W11. The W10 still going strong.One reviewer said it's too slow to boot up, testing mine over past week it's quickest boot time was 16.3 seconds and the slowest 22.8 seconds, what do folks expect, after all it's a budget machine. I think thats more than acceptable. It's whisper quiet too. It's very quick to operate apps.Mine has 512 Gb SSD storage but with the OS and the recovery partition and bloat added by Microsoft and Dell in reality you get a little under 400 Gb, I've added a new external Crucial 500 Gb SSD (480 Gb) I had knocking around that I bought last year off Amazon for about £30 so I now have 1 Tb (880 Gb) so I've more than enough storage.Someone says it's not very good for gaming, it's a budget machine, industry reviewers say if you're into playing games, don't buy it. Another moaner said he kept being pestered by MacAfee to buy virus protection and he surrendered and bought a years subscription, well why didn't he just delete the blessed thing, only takes a minute or two and it's got Windows Defender anyway which is fine for the average user.I'm 72, use mine for email, surfing and buying stuff and stream a lot of stuff too because TV is basically 90% crap, if you're a hedge fund manager and broker I reckon you'll need something a bit more robust and MacAfee, although other anti-virus programmes are available!

I am happy with the laptop apart from the fact the keys do not light up, which is one feature I really wanted. The picture on the advert shows the F5 key has this option but when it arrived it does not which was a little annoying.

Nice size and does everything I need. Good HD side too.

Not enough memory, running at 80% usage after login. You cannot upgrade the memory, it is soldered on the motherboard. DELL Inspiron 15 3535 P11F2 cannot be upgraded but DELL Inspiron 15 3525 P11F2 can be upgraded. If I had read the small print I would not have purchased this model. Otherwise I am a fan of DELL hardware normally.

What can I say, a big screen laptop at a great price, lovely item, very pleased

I am not technically competent but this lap top uploaded everything I needed from my old obsolete computer and upgraded any apps I needed with very little fuss. My incompetence was more to blame than the product. very pleased.
