Review on Notebook DELL INSPIRON 3180 (1366x768, AMD A6 1.6 GHz, RAM 4 GB, SSD 32 GB, Win10 Home) by Nguyn Thng Qun  (Chu ᠌

Model 3180-2099 (4gb ram, 128gb emmc rom) For its price, the machine is excellent. In fact, it's the only sane option if you want 11" Linux on board and cheap. It is clear that at this price the cheapest components are installed here: - bad matrix - inexpensive (but - suddenly - not terrible!) keyboard - soldered emmc storage without the ability to install a full-fledged ssd disk And the laptop itself is not very thin and not the lightest. The reverse side of the question - it is not a pity. For me, for example, this is important. A very old Ubuntu is preinstalled from the factory (something like 16.04, I don't remember exactly). Installation of Ubuntu LTS 18.04 ended in a fiasco - the system boots and hangs tightly after 1-3 seconds. In 182022, this problem is gone and (almost) everything works fine. The touchpad, bluetooth, waking up from sleep mode, adjusting the brightness - everything works flawlessly. The keyboard for such money is quite tolerable. You just need to get used to the F-buttons. By default they work like FN+F. For example, pressing F11 changes the brightness rather than making the app go full screen. If you get used to it, then everything is fine. By disadvantages. Annoying is the complete absence of indicators of work and charging. Since the laptop does not turn on immediately, but with a delay of a couple of seconds, it is impossible to understand whether it is turned on or you need to press the button again. You have to charge "in reserve" to be sure. Wi-Fi module is weak. 2-3 meters from the router sometimes shows an extremely low signal level. It is extremely rare that the touchpad does not work on my copy after loading the OS. Have to reboot. Perhaps this is a glitch of my particular laptop. In general, I repeat, for such money a very good machine, which is not a pity to carry everywhere with you. The main thing is to understand that everything will be cheap and cheerful and not expect miracles :)
