4.0 out of 5 starsGreat speed for the price

Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2015

CHEAP i3 laptop. Great speed for the price.

Got the 3543 non-touch with windows 8.1 i3,4GB, 500GBHHD

Before turning on I replaced the hard drive with a 512GB Transcend SSD and upgraded the memory to 8GB

Removed secure boot and disabled PXE in BIOS

UPDATE! The Card reader, MEI, and Wifi Driver on Dell support site was not the Windows7 version even though it stated it was. I was able to get the Windows7 versions of these drivers from the previous model support site (Inspiron 3542).

Pros
Cheap
i3 5th Gen
Quiet Fan

Cons:
Touchpad: Cannot select multiple items with the mouse it is annoying going to try to fix this. I do not have the right click issue like other reviews said. UPDATE!: Was able to fix this by uninstalling the dell touchpad drivers and using the previous Inspiron 3542 touchpad driver.

Wifi Signal seems to be lower than my other laptops.If it doesn't improve I'm going to swap this out the 1704 dell wifi with a intel dual band centrino card. UPDATE! I ended up installing the Centrino WiFi card, performance seems a bit better. Available through amazon, just search Intel 6300.

Single Channel Memory (only 1 slot for memory) This can slow down performance.

SD Card slot only allows the card to stick halfway in.. So when a SD card is inserted it sticks out about a half inch out of the side of the laptop. Might not be a con for some people.

Summary:
I bought this for someone that just needed web browsing. Hopefully it lasts. The last Dell they had lasted for almost 10 years.

4.0 out of 5 starsNice product - Poor Quality control

Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2015

Very Good product at this price point.
I bought this for my father who is a light user.
The i3 runs all the basic tasks- Heavy Browsing, Light stock market applications etc. pretty well
Considering it doesnt come with a SSD, Boot time is still pretty short and the current battery life is good at ~7-8 hrs.

Out of the box the product had a minor issue, which I was able to fix.
This isn't expected in an out of box product as it ruins the overall user-experience. [One of the reason why people pay for costlier apple products].
I would just say poor quality control.
Average user would just return the product or just live with it.

Issue:
The laptop was packed well and on removing from the sleeve looked good.
However on turning it ON, I saw bright spot towards the right side of the screen.
All the pixels in the area were working working fine - Some people might have just lived with it.
Having an OCD, I just contacted amazon for replacement. However the replacement wasn't reaching me in time and I needed to drop this off to my dad when I was visiting him.
I googled about pressure marks and planned to try and fix it myself. I cancelled the return and amazon provided me compensation to get this fixed. [+1 to Amazon for this]

I opened up the display, and unscrewed the LCD from the top cover.
What I saw was a - "small lose screw sitting behind the lcd screen". This was pressing against the back of the LCD screen causing the bright spot on the display. I believe a case of a lost screw while assembling the laptop - and there, I found it!
Once removed, the bright spot was gone.

4.0 out of 5 starsDepending on your experience and needs, it gets the job done.

This is my first laptop since getting a Dell Studio 1500 series back in 2009, which due to the design flaws and my poor handling, crapped out on me way too soon. This computer is a 64bit Windows 8.1 operating system with 500 available GB as the description states. The look of the computer is nice but nothing luxurious, it is lightweight in my opinion and may feel cheap depending on what you are used to handling, no it does not feel like a Mac but it doesn't feel like it will fall apart at any given moment either.

As for the performance of the operating system itself, it is decent and gets the job done. As military personnel I have had some issues with IE and accessing AKO sites because IE freezes up and shuts down, which has been the most frustrating issue in and of itself, however, once I got Firefox it all ran smoothly. I plan on uninstalling some of the bloatware dell offers on their computers, but even before doing so this computer runs just fine and gets the job done. I would recommend it for someone who wants to access the internet, check email, write documents and just perform the typical computer tasks with. I have had my moments of where the computer may seem to freeze up when in all actuality it is just taking longer than I would prefer it to in order to accomplish whatever task I have told it to do, but it is nothing that is such a problem I could not live with it or that I would return this at all.

4.0 out of 5 starsAverage performance, reasonable price

Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2015

Design: Very angular, all-black, minimalist design with no frills or embellishments.Top cover is textured to prevent finger marks.
Weight: Seems quite light, much lighter than my previous Dell.
Noise: Disk drive is whisper-quiet.You have to put your ear very close to hear it.
Screen: Brightness is just OK in normal light.
Sound: Volume is just OK.
Keyboard: OK
Performance:I have the Core i3 and 4 GB RAM.This is just about OK for most normal uses (Word, Excel, YouTube, etc.)If you want lightening response, go with the Core i5 and more RAM.
LEDs:Has only one, which will show white if the laptop is plugged in AND charging; will show red if the battery is low, plugged in or not.Downside to this is that, if the laptop is closed AND not plugged in, you don't know if it is sleeping or off. This takes some getting used to.Can't think why Dell would want to save a dollar or two by eliminating the usual LEDs.
Price: Got it purchased and delivered for $402.Not bad.

Would I buy it again?Hard to tell, since I haven't done a hands-on test with half a dozen competitors in order to make a comparison.Overall, for the price I am satisfied; and Dell has always been reliable for me.

UPDATE: Found a way to improve the sound: Go to "Dell Audio" and adjust the equalizer.I boosted the higher-frequency sounds, and the overall sound seems twice as good.Pity this control is somewhat hidden.
