Review on Notebook DELL INSPIRON 3180 (1366x768, AMD A6 1.6 GHz, RAM 4 GB, SSD 32 GB, Win10 Home) by Aneta Trzonkowska ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Valuable purchase, nothing but pluses!

Here is what I finished / installed in the system: 1. indicator-multiload to display CPU/disk/memory usage (there are no activity lights in the laptop at all) 2. touchpad-indicator to disable the touchpad when typing or connecting a mouse 3. classicmenu-indicator - to display the traditional start-menu 4. special procedure for enabling the win-key, search for the word dell-super-key

Pros
  • Small, light, cheap. Silent, fanless, but at the same time smart enough! Convenient arrangement of editing/moving keys (arrows, Delete, Home/End, etc.) Ubuntu Linux 16.04 out of the box! You can upgrade the RAM up to 8GB.
Cons
  • Battery life did not live up to expectations - less than 4 hours with active Internet use without video (ubuntu Linux out of the box). There is no touchpad disable button.
