Day 5: I brought up my computer from sleep mode and logged in. I went to Chrome. It crashed. I had to end the task. I then tried it again. Same result. Then I tried Microsoft Edge. Same result.
Finally, I just shut down the system and rebooted. Everything was back to normal.
Day Nine. The same thing happened to me. Finally, I went to Dell's support website and it autodetected that three drivers were out of date. One of these had to do with WiFi.
Hopefully, this fixes the problem.

Other issues:
-During the computer's setup, the microphone didn't work. However, this problem was immediately solved with Windows Update.
-Windows Hello only works in the right light. It takes a black & white photo of you. So, it doesn't make sense why it works sometimes and why it doesn't at others.
------
Overall, the computer is very fast. An example of this is with running Android Studio and bringing up an emulator while streaming a course video in 720p. Loading my emulator is just a tick slower than when my online instructor does so on his Mac whilst recording his screen activity and audio at the same time. That Mac was was 2.67x more money than this computer.
My downloads and installations are also very quick. For example, when I was downloading Dell's autodetect driver software, it said the installation could take several minutes. It took under ten seconds.

A dozen episodes from the sixth season of the outrageous sitcom It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia are collected on this release as well as an extended cut of Lethal Weapon 5 and a collection of bloopers.

Verified Purchase:Yes
The show is always very funny...usually. Overall, it is better to just buy the seasons than stream on Netflix. That way you can fund the people who make the show directly instead.

A couple of you said a stylus could be used. Is there a particular model of stylus? I have yet to find one that says it is compatible with this model computer.

According to a review from M-o-b-i-l-e-T-e-c-h-R-e-v-i-e-w on the Dell Inspiron 13 7000 from 2015, it says in the video's description: "NOTE: Dell removed the pen feature from newer models." This was pertaining to the Dell Active Pen.

A more recent review from MTR for a Dell Inspiron 13 7000 from 2016 shows this to be the case as the reviewer tries to use the pen and it doesn't work. The reviewer says that the synaptics driver is not on this computer.

Looking at reviews for the Dell Active Pen, apparently battery life was a big issue on it along with it just breaking down and Dell having to ship out replacement pens. So, I'm guessing Dell decided to do away with their troublesome product and scrap the technology rather than come out with a better, newer model.

I would guess only a generic stylus is going to work with this.
