Not sure what I would do. It looks nice!

Hey I’m new here this laptop looks good for the price. 10/10 from me

Are you able to review gaming pcs please I’d love to see like the laptops?

Is the screen matte?

Yes! @@thelegitsu81

Koszi! Sajonos ki kell zakkannon ebbol a mentalitasbol amiben itt vagyunk, hogy semmit sem bovitunk, csak beszunk egy uj gepet amikor mar nem eleg gyors a regi :(

Great to hear! Thanks!

Thank you for sharing your experience! Really appreciate it!

Hello! Unfortunately, I have not tested Linux on it, but I don’t see any reason why would not run it well.

Thanks !

@@outdoorfun8780​​⁠As more $800-$1200-$1600-$2000 laptops I review, I like this one even better. As a matter of fact I was going to buy another one since I gave this one away. What’s wrong with yours?

Haven’t experienced any serious overheating with the i3 cpu. I am doing a review with the i7 CPU after the laptop is being 1 years old. If you need to travel with the laptop frequently or if you are planning to use it for 8 hours every single day, I would recommend getting a different model. What do you need a laptop for , what’s your budget, are you planning to carry the laptop frequently?

Hey, thanks for subbing really appreciate it! I just gave this laptop away to one of you about a month ago on this channel. This is the cheapest Dell windows laptop with an intel CPU on the market. The screen is a very basic one, I watched some KZfaq videos on it, and it was fine. I just ordered a $1800 laptop from Dell and that has an awesome screen , this laptop however is only $279 right now so my expectations are very different. You can also use the HDMI cable to connect this laptop to TV or monitor if the qualaty is important to you or have to change your budeget.

Hi! I looked into this recently and apparently Dell is been using this method on other Dell laptops for a while now and it caused no issues. Further researching this topic made me realize that pretty much all major manufacturers are doing the same thing in the budget category without any problems, therefore I am no longer concerned about the heat potentially damaging the screen.

Interesting. I never had a problem with Dell chargers unless it was physically damaged. I just purchased some “Dell” 65W chargers from eBay for $6 with free shipping, I can’t wait to unbox try them.

Vostro 3510 came out about 2 years ago with the same cooling system, hot air hitting the screen at the same spot. I see failed hinges and cracked screen repair videos, but no other failed screens due to heat . So at least that is a good sign …

You could just buy a replacement lcd screen when that happens.

That would be an option! I looked into this more after the video and found out that Lenovo & Acer are doing the same thing in the budget category, and they are fine. @@tumultoustortellini

It’s the Inspiron!

Read the video title, it says “Inspiron”

@@Loneranger670 Was looking for a Latitude battery replacement video on YT so I can confirm the small size battery model number for someone. The video was titled Latitude battery replacement, the guy was saying Latitude every 2 minutes, but he was working on an Inspiron for sure. 😊 So, you never know.

@@Scott.The.IT.Guy. 👌🏻 thanks for clarifying

Thank you!

It’s a small capacity battery, it’s the cheapest windows based laptop at Dell. I am looking at reviews at Dell from the same laptop and other owners are reporting even worse battery life. Otherwise it’s a great machine.

Sounds about right, not sure if any Canadian Holidays is in reach, in that case they might lower the price a bit more.

They are much nicer than people think, they last a long time and they can be super affordable.

Sucks about the battery but i dont mind keeping it plugged in i guess !

​@@megganm1059 does it heat while doing normal activities and coding (not gaming obviously)?

Hows it now ? Hows the display is the black lvl n color any decent for watching movies/youtube...

Hope you enjoy it! I still like it a lot especially after reviewing a $1400 Dell business class laptop.

About to release a new $1400 business class laptop review where the battery last 5 hours, so I have even more respect for this Inspiron.

The Vostro 3530 is a much nicer model for sure, it has a nicer keyboard & touchpad, nicer screen, it is a step up from the Inspiron for sure, but it also cost significantly more. The good news is that there are no issues with the hinges just like we had with the previous 3510 generations of Vostro’s. When you open the lid the Vostro will raise itself up a bit to give you better typing experience and better air flow. You are absolutely right about blowing hot air to the screen, unfortunately this is a premium feature now where you have a side hot air went out. This will not damage the screen but will have an impact on the performance because of throttling. I am about to release a video where we compare a Lenovo E15 to a L15 where the ram, SSD, CPU are completely identical but theL15 has a side went and its significantly faster under benchmarks. Unfortunately, now we are talking about a $1300 dollar laptop where we have a side went. I would not worry too much about this “issue” or method. I have business clients with very cheap Inspiron laptops in a medical office, 6 days a week, browsing, typing notes, shutting the lid down and opening it multiple times and it’s holding up great. If you need something for this the Inspiron is great and a Vostro is just nicer. ( In this price category I would stay with an i3- i5CPU would not go with an i7)

@@Scott.The.IT.Guy. Thanks Scott for your detailed explanation. Good to hear Vostro is a better model. In the country I live the Vostro 3520 i5 12 Gen Laptop is cheaper than the Inspiron 3520 model. The vostro 3530 is more expensive than the Inspiron 3520 & Vostro 3520. I have been leaning towards the Vostro 3520 i5 8GB 512SSD model due to my affordability. I hope this Vostro 3520 12 Gen don't have any issues with the hinges like in the previous models. I have been using a Dell Inspiron 5559 7 Gen i5 model since 2016 so time has come to buy a new one. It had some issues with ram & HDD storage. Dell & HP are the brands that I have been using right along. I think its good that you pointed out about the cooling vents. Haven't seen many people commenting on this concern. Look forward to the L15 video and will just check the price range here. Lenovo & Asus main concern in this part of the world is that spare parts are not freely available like Dell & HP. Due to that any repair might cost a bit more than HP or Dell. Good that you are saying hot air blowing vent position of the Vostro or Inspiron is not a big concern to worry about. I basically need a good laptop for small business operation in the real estate sector like some photo editing on Lightroom, Posting listings on facebook,websites, watching movies, youtube, browsing etc.

@druviceylontea6304 Are you planning to travel with the laptop daily since you mentioned real estate? If you do travel a lot there are some models I would not recommend. Also do you have a Dell refurbished store in your country?

@@Scott.The.IT.Guy. Hi Scott, There isn't much travel involved. Only occasionally I would need it for travel. Basically I will be doing all the work in my laptop from one location. Unfortunately there isn't a Dell refurbished store in my country. Btw what are the models you would not recommend for frequent travel?

Latitude 3500 series are falling apart, they are three years old, they were $800 ish, pretty much every single client who brings them in asking not to fix them. Keyboard, touchpad, hinges, plastic case everything breaks. Unfortunately the new latitude 3540 is exactly the same. I am editing a video about a Lenovo E15 & L15 , they have a same amount of ram same exact cpu, pretty much the same cooling system. The E15 is blowing the hot air on the screen where the L15 is blowing on the side. The L15 is 10-40% faster depending o the application, just because of the side went. The build quality is way above Dell’s hard to see as a Dell fan how much better Lenovo made those laptops regards of engineering and materials.

What do you think about this laptop? Would you keep it or send it back to Dell?

​@@Scott.The.IT.Guy.Im still debating about that actually, after watching the biggest redflag for me is the battery. 2hrs of youtube video use? Something is not right but for less than 300$ might consider it. The only solution for this is modify/replace the battery for around 100to 200$ i think. You can get away with the airflow by using laptop coolers(if you are stationary) here in ph where the area is hot by default(haha) that is not good since it will heat up fast and reduce performance. If someone is looking a laptop at this price range they should consider used/2nd hand laptops. They can find cheaper and more powerful specs, the only risk is the condition of laptop, if the laptops shows wear and tear by using or almost bnew condition.

I will release a video this week about this Dell i3 VS a 3 and a 5 years old business class laptop. I think replacing the battery makes no sense here, the cost is just too high. I would not use a cooling pad either, maybe I will just return this and pick another laptop.@@imrobie8035

Hello, They can be both good options, but if you can tell me about what you are looking for in a new laptop, I can narrow it down to a few models: Are you planning to do anything besides browsing & emails in general? Watching movies, playing games, editing photos, working from home? Does a long battery life important to you, how about the screen size? 14” (small light weight) is preferable if you travel a lot, 15-16” (larger, heavier) if you are planning to work from home, watch movies, things like that. Do you need a touchscreen feature, are you planning to use it outside or mainly just inside, do you need a large storage drive for files and pictures, phone backups, etc.

Hi! I looked into this recently and apparently Dell is been using this method on other Dell laptops for a years and it caused no issues at all.

Indeed! Just not sure how the LCD screen will hold up in the future.

Ya , but at this price it's honestly understandable

Speakers are located on the bottom of the laptop on each side. For me they are loud enough. Even at maximum volume ( if the quality of the source is good )there is no distortion at all.

I have two large clients who switched completely (from Dell & HP) to Lenovo, and they are super happy, they said they would never go back to those manufacturers. I also have a business client mentioned in this video at 13:05 where the cheapest Inspiron laptops are still holding up after three years. It also depends on the employees, and they are super gentle with their laptops.

Neither. VA means Vertical Alignment. Let me link this article, to explain if I can: www.rtings.com/monitor/learn/ips-vs-va-vs-tn

The full hd 120 hz is ips 600:1 contrast , u can check this on nanoreviews , google it

How is ir for gaming im thinking of getting it

Yes, it’s not perfect for sure, I also noticed some but it`s $279. Just had a customer with a brand-new higher end Inspiron, she accidently broke the screen on day two, just the screen replacement costed $275 by itself. On a $700-$1000+ laptop I would complain , but its fine here , the laptop is great what it cost.

@@Scott.The.IT.Guy. Thanks a lot for sharing the feedback. I absolutely agree with the price and quality. I had a higher end laptop MSIGS74VR7RF. The display broke and was looking for something inexpensive where I can easily transfer the rams and other vital things, this dell 3250 was the perfect avatar for the dead laptop, haha. Loved your content and looking forward to see more informative posts!

Thanks! Really appreciate it!

Thanks!

Thanks!

That would be awesome! Thanks for the info! Will try it next time, not even sure why this super low budget laptop has a 120hz screen!

@@Scott.The.IT.Guy. yea, 120hz screen is super smooth. Dell really surprised me. Best laptop I ever bought

It is , there is a 56Wh version at Dell for $117, maybe that is a good future option. It was $269 with the i5 & a 250 SSD yesterday, but sold out already . (Not affiliated link!) www.microcenter.com/product/678640/dell-inspiron-15-3520-156-laptop-computer

From Dell.com Dell is keep changing the price on pretty much everything. Every few days the price goes up and down. Right now it’s $299 but with a larger 512 SSD. It was $269 with the 250 SSD a couple weeks ago.

I am sorry, we had a first laptop winmner from India and I could not belive how much more expensive this same laptop was there as well. Custom & import fee and tax are a lot!

That`s crazy that you have still have that Inspiron! This Inspiron is still upgradable regards the ram and the SSD, but you are right we are moving to fully integrated hardware way faster than I would like to see. Based on my experience if you are careful and keep in mind that this is a low budget laptop, you can still get a good amount of time out of them.

@@Scott.The.IT.Guy. yes they are still decent depending on what brand/model you buy. but for me I just use what I have till I can’t anymore. They all do about the same thing anyway.

It does not have a backlit keyboard. This is a super basic laptop but for what it cost, it’s totally worth it .

@@Scott.The.IT.Guy. Thanks 😊

It`s $299 at Dell right now but with the larger, 512 SSD. Would you buy it?

well that´s better i guess i don´t have to upgrade it myself thank you for mention it@@Scott.The.IT.Guy.

Windows 11 home not in S mode

Head over microcenter it’s $267 with the i5 cpu right now .

I just checked, it was $269 yesterday but sold out already , same laptop i5 and 512 SSD -> $299 (Not affiliated link!) www.microcenter.com/product/678640/dell-inspiron-15-3520-156-laptop-computer

That’s how I feel!

Toshiba was the Toyota of laptops.

Hi, I started doing YT about 10 months ago, I had about 8 weeks of experience at that this time. Are you looking for a specific information on this model ? I have one right next to me with the i7 CPU, feel free to ask any questions.

⁠@@Scott.The.IT.Guy. is this laptop good enough for programming/coding? can this support virtual box ..?

@@OrnellaHP it`s good for programing, I would get the i5 or the i7 with at least 16 Gb of ram from running virtual machines. This laptop is not meant to be carried in a backpack. It`s cheap because it has cheap plastic housing. This laptop is great if it`s on the top of desk, it will be fast and will last a long time.

@@Scott.The.IT.Guy. thank you so much for your answer 😀
