Review on 11.6" Notebook DELL INSPIRON 3162 (1366x768, Intel Celeron 1.6 GHz, RAM 2 GB, HDD 500 GB, Linux) by Anuson Anu ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

No complaints, I recommend to buy.

The main advantages, as I said earlier, are a pleasant appearance, a high-quality case, dimensions, weight and operating time - enough for a full working day. The display is controversial - matte and does not glare, but the colors are far from ideal and it is noticeable that the display is cheap. In general, I can say that the laptop will suit you if you need a cheap hiking option that does not take up much space in your bag and you are ready to accept that this is not a "top-end hardware" and it is intended for simple tasks. If you want to get a powerful workstation at the price of a budget solution, you will be disappointed, this model does not pretend to be the main computer. Clearly understand your tasks, then it will be easier to choose a technique.

Pros
  • 1. Really beautiful laptop with a design reminiscent of MacBooks when they were in plastic, but, surprisingly, the quality of the Dell case is higher (changed this MacBook to this Dell) 2. The keyboard is also better from Dell, the key travel is pleasant 3. Good, big touchpad 4. The presence of 2 USB (one 3.0), a full-fledged HDMI and a MicroSD card reader 5. Weight 6. Working time
Cons
  • 1. Performance "out of the box": 2GB of RAM is clearly not enough for 64bit Windows, it was almost immediately replaced with 8GB, now the weak link is the HDD, it should be replaced with an SSD 2. The screen could be better
