Dell Inspiron 15 3535 Laptop - 15.6-inch FHD Display, AMD Ryzen 5 7520U, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB SSD, AMD Radeon Graphics, Windows 11 Home, 6-Months Migrate - Carbon Black

So far great. Battery life is great, using several days without recharging. It does not have a touch screen, but not needed for what I do. Quality seems more than adequate. Setup was simple and relatively quick. Quick in general, system loaded and ready to work in less than 20 seconds. I am pleased with the purchase and would recommend it to a friend or love one.

I wasn't really sure what to expect when I ordered this. It cost about the same as my HP laptop a couple years ago and had similar on-paper specs for the time (5500u vs 7530u, 1080p, white backlit keyboard, $550-$570 each, etc). However this Dell laptop (silver 7530u version) is so much better quality it's crazy. The lid and the keyboard deck of the Dell laptop are both aluminum. On the HP they were plastic and the keyboard deck flexed. Here they are solid aluminum with far less flex. The speakers are great. They're top-firing and on both sides of the keyboard, and actually sound good. The HP speakers were bottom-firing and vibrated. The trackpad is very large and responsive, and the keyboard is white backlit (on the silver 7530u version). In addition you get a fingerprint reader, which was not present on the HP and I did not expect it at this price. The screen is definitely either VA or IPS, but it's hard to say which. Viewing angles are good, contrast ratio is very good, and it has minimal/no backlight bleed. Saturation and accuracy is not bad, could be better, but ofc is still far better than any TN panel. The contrast ratio is really exceptional for this price. Dark areas look dark and bright areas are bright. Obviously with an APU you don't expect stellar modern game performance, but this holds up for my purposes (playing The Elder Scrolls Oblivion from 2006 at maximum settings around 60 fps). Even though Oblivion is very old at this point, remember this is not a gaming laptop. This is a thin-and-light notebook and the ability to play older games like that fluidly is a nice bonus. Downside: Dell ships it with a bunch of bloatware. But the good news is you're allowed to uninstall all the Dell-branded bloatware from the control panel without requiring any special tricks or workarounds. I'm very pleased with this laptop. Now the only thing to test is the durability/reliability, but of course I won't know that for several months or years.

Only a week after receiving and setting up, I am very impressed with this 5635 laptop so far. I was woefully past due in upgrading my old 17" Dell Inspiron (it faithfully got me through 7 years of personal use including grad school) and found a great deal I couldn't pass up. The 5635 was an easy-to-set-up plug-and-play, and transferring the data from the old laptop took no time at all. It's light with a nice keyboard layout. I find the screen and graphics to be crisp with good sound. Great camera for WebEx. Took some time to find my way around Windows 11 and I had a transferrable MS 365 / Office I could use beyond the trial. Would highly recommend as you can upgrade the components you need to with little fanfare.

It’s a great size for any college student or working purposes. Battery life lasts longer than expected and Windows 11 is accepted. It doesn’t lag and although it’s huge and heavy it works great.

Updated laptop for grandparents. Nice size, nice display, much better for email and internet browsing than 12 year old computer they were using. Seems like it will fit their need well.
