Great Computer but Why a 2-in-One?
on December 9, 2016
Posted by: Tyler
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this computer because my old one died. I have an iPad so I didn't need a 2-In-One but most pc's are also tabletsthese days. I was also hesitant to buy a Dell as it's been hard to shake off the "cheap starter PC image" the company had in the 90's. I'm pleasantly surprised with this one if somewhat baffled.
Pros:
- Great keyboard and touchpad. I had to change some of the touchpad settings to my preference but everything feels outstanding.
- Build. This feels like a quality machine.
- Fantastic screen. This is my first time owning a full 1080p HD display on a laptop and it's better than I could have thought! This combined with the large screen might be a factor but the picture looks even more clear than my iPad Air 2.
- Windows 10 is great. I updated my last PC to the new Windows OS but if you missed out on the update, this is a great machine to run it.
- Faster log-in. This is a small issue for sure but having the camera recognize my face to log in gets me to what I want faster. I understand some might see this feature as a con but I love it.
Cons
- The speakers are terrible. the speakers are located on the bottom of the machine so sound reverbs off the surface more than actually giving you the sound. There is also a clear metallic sound with everything, likely from the sound reverbing off the aluminum casing. I'm no engineer but with so much empty surface area around the keyboard, putting the speakers there might have helped. Headphones sound great.
- It's heavy in tablet mode. I understand this comes with having a large screen but if you're looking to also use a computer as a tablet, I recommend you look for a smaller size. I never planned on using this much in "Tablet Mode" but definitely won't when I have my iPad which is so much lighter.
Summary: If you are just looking for a computer, then this would be solid way to go. You might find the size to be a little cumbersome but this had better tech specs and was cheaper than smaller similar models. I just wish that Dell had committed to building just a computer as I'm sure many of the design choices were to accommodate the tablet functionality which is unnecessary given the size.
