Review on Dell Inspiron Touchscreen Business Bluetooth by John Destruction

My wife and I were looking for new portable computers (two computers), each of us was 4-5 years old and we started to have problems. My 16 year old son is computer savvy so I asked his advice. We bought another brand but the GPU driver was not compatible with the latest windows patches so the full update failed. Sent back, found. They have built-in graphics (I think), which means that once you get the computer, update windows and graphics (which you should do as soon as you buy a computer), everything works as it should. In the two weeks since delivery it crashed once, just gave an error message and restarted. Not very happy, but for once I have nothing to worry about. This computer is small, the screen is 13.3 inches. The keyboard seems to be of normal size, there are no numbers on the right, but you have to sacrifice something because of the size so that the keys don't get too small. It took me a few days to learn to type on it, it's a bit different than my previous one, maybe shorter key travel, slightly different key sizes, I don't know exactly but I find it every time I switch to one New computer. The screen folds up so you can use it as a 13-inch tablet or laptop, or set it up as a tent if you wish. I don't know why you need it, but you can. In this case the buttons are on the back of the "tablet" but in tablet mode they are disabled, you just use the touchscreen. My only complaint is that the touchpad is slightly offset from my last computer, which means I often place my hands incorrectly when I'm typing for the first time, and often that little fat part of your hand touches your thumb. More than once the screen size (zoom in or out) was adjusted by accidental touch. The only other downside is that it gets hot if you sit on your lap or on a soft surface (sofa/bed). I had to use one of these fan coolers on my last computer so use it, I'm typing on my knees. Inside this thing spins. It has an SSD, no hard drive and lots of RAM. My last computer got this far that I turn it on, then get a coffee and when I come back you can log in, wait about 30 seconds and it will work. Maybe 3-4 minutes total cold start time, so I rarely turn it off. It takes about 12 seconds from power button to apps opening. The power button is on the side and features face recognition. So look at it for about 12 seconds, it boots up, scans your face and logs you in. If your face isn't recognized or you're wearing sunglasses and a hat, you can also enter your PIN. Without a hard drive and with a fan apparently only when it needs to be cooled (and apparently with variable speed), it often runs completely silent. It takes a little getting used to your screen turning off when you leave it, not sure if just the screen is off or the entire computer. But even when the computer was off, it loaded very, very quickly. I was concerned that the SSD is too small, my son suggested getting a portable HDD or portable SSD if needed. I have an operating system, all the programs I use (mostly Office), a few games, a lot of documents from an old computer, and I have about 25%. This space will last for a long time, it's just weird that I don't have a hard drive. I'm too old to do mind work or play four nights so this will probably work but might be slower. than a gaming laptop. For Microsoft Word and other work things it works without problems. Connects to my router to access the internet (has dual bands so both bands are seen by my router) and gets the same speed as every other device I have. Connects perfectly to my phone when I use it as a hotspot. Headphones work fine, I haven't connected anything to bluetooth yet. The battery life is amazing compared to my past. Well my last one really should have been running, if the weather was right you could have made an hour out of it. I can take this to work without a charger if I leave with a full charge and don't intend to use it for 8 hours. To be on the safe side, I bought a Dell Power Bank. It seems to have about one charge, so if I'm working 14-16 hours at a time without access to an outlet, the computer battery plus that will probably last me. It's not super light (I had a lightweight 10 inch netbook) but this one is much lighter and thinner than my previous one. There's no CD/DVD drive, but newer computers have broken and I've found I don't really need it. It "lacks" an Ethernet plug, but has USB-C and an adapter to plug in if you need it infrequently, and costs around $10. If I need a CD/DVD, they're great value too, pop them in when you need them. Overall, this appears to be a reliable machine. Well built, durable, with a good image, the right size for me and fast, at least for my type of use.
