@@SoulOfTech Thank you for the laptop review. I'm looking for a laptop that is durable and lasts a long time. It's unfortunate that companies seem to design them to break after several years to get you to buy more in the future. My HP laptop back panel completely broke off and was flimsily made
I have this laptop but I don't have the key light features. I think this is because I bought it when it was first released its about 4 years old now I didn't really face any problems I still use this laptop.
Dell is now denying warranty for "Accidental Damage" for things like the power port failing. Their hinges are an issue for sure, but the power port design and/or installation fails when the solder connection separates inside the device. This will cause the power to disconnect then reconnect and eventually will not allow charging. My unit was 10 months old when this started to become an issue. Dell Warranty department told me that plugging in, and unplugging the power adapter is cause for failure and is "ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE" and therefore not covered. They also told me that an issue I was experiencing with the mouse pad was due to using the laptop on my lap?? They have fallen to new lows with ways to scam the consumer.
It has a hinge problem.... My dad bought this for me to use in college after almost 1yr plus, one day opening it in class the left hinge broke off and cracked the bottom left screen. In the dell discussion sites other people have similar problems but in shorter time frames(few months) and also have the same hinge problems.
True. I wonder why this product does not get recalled. My hinge broke within warranty, need technician come to my home to replace the hinges. Technician told me never open this laptop more than 90 degrees. It is hard to use. I like it open wide to put on lap, but it is not supposed to open wide or flat, it will break the hinge again. It is frustrating cause the advertise picture shows like it can open wide. Also, i don't see any instructions saying never open it over 90 degrees and it will break the hinge. I regret buying it and want to return it every day, but too late.
Don't buy this computer, the hinges are plastic that will break. I regret buying this computer. It's not worth it even at cheaper price. Dell will not stand by it. I guess there is a class action lawsuit against Dell.
The hinge has some problems for sure, I have an Inspiron 15 5510 from a couple years ago with the same hinge design. A minor issue that's pretty likely is the rubber feet coming off, but it can also break your laptop if your chassis bottom plate is loose.
One aspect I'd like to see covered in more detail is the design of the hinge. It appears that the laptop's small vent is intended to facilitate increased airflow when the hinge raises the back of the laptop on a desk. While this design choice may improve cooling in that particular setting, I have some concerns about potential overheating problems when using the laptop in bed while watching Netflix. It would be helpful to hear your thoughts on this aspect as well."
The hinge seems to be a design flaw and I hope the product gets recalled. Unlike many other latops, this one can only open to a bit more than 90 degrees, and cannot be unfolded more, definitely not flat. The hinge cracked after several months and needs to be repaired under warranty.
Inspiron 3000 is the series, where as 3520 is the model within that series. If the specs are similar/same you can assume it's the same machine (with possible minor variations).
I have the same laptop as you have but mine have good and bed news . The good new is that it comes with nvidia CPU. The bad new is that i doesn't come with the backlighted keyboard
i've had this laptop for over a year now and its battery is INCREDIBLY BAD, it drains from 100 to 60 in like 20 minutes from just a few chrome tabs open, once i had file explorer open and i wasnt even using my laptop, it went from 100 to 0 in less than 2 hours. Does anyone else have an issue similar to this or is it just an issue with my unit? EDIT: the battery has been like this since the day i bought it (also its a 3515 not a 3520 but theyre basically identical)
youre not the only one .. i have been using this lap for 3months and since i brought i face this issue..and overheating is also a problem ..help me out to solve these issue if you find a way out
Thanks for the review! I am currently looking through my school's budget-friendly laptops for sale, so your videos helped me out a lot. I almost got the HP Notebook 14.
Hey there! Thanks for the review. Could you please provide more information about the battery life and the overall performance of the Dell Inspiron 15 3000 (2022) laptop? I'm considering getting one, and these details would be really helpful in making my decision. Thanks!
Hi ,I'm looking for some info on my DELL I5 3000 Vostro 11th gen laptop, it is identical to the Inspiron I5 3000 as in external ports placements, internal battery layout, memory layout the works, it only differs in the name, I'm confused ,can you explain as i want to up grade the ram to 2 x 16 gb and CPU to I7 any advice would be greatly excepted
thank you for that quick reply. i hate to think i have to keep climbing the $ ladder, as i've heard the insprion aren't that structuraly strong. future- proff & rural connectivity are on the top of my needs. (i learned to prioritize needs 1st from you)
I bought the vivobook 15, but it had very bad battery (2:30 hours brand new with TH-cam 1080 video at 60% brigthess) and the keyboard was rubbish por typing/programming, I returned it.
16 GB Max but I wouldn't recommend you to buy this laptop. The model I have is the old one Which has Hinge issue common problem in Dell Inspiron 15 3000+ model, I hope they fixed this issue in the new one.
for what i've could research, i'm reviewing this notebook for myself, it doesn't support 2.5 hard drive, only M.2, despite having three M.2 slots, i could confirm with Dell support you can upgrade the default SSD disk, since i don't need two of them and 256GB is fine, i didn't push to know wether or not we can use remaining M.2 slots for SSD disks
i have this laptop and it’s incredibly slow,like i bought it NEW the first day i got it and it was so slow,not to mention the hinge broke like three times,i wouldn’t recommend it tbh
Don't Buy this lap after 1 year the hinge will damage and you want to replace the display case and hinge it will cost around 2500k+, performance is good but lap quality is cheap.
Why ist Dell going for a 120Hz Display???? Just give me Thunderbolt 4 and a Keyboard Backlight!!! Dell, who the fuck does make your Product Design choices. This device was almost perfect. But this is a dealbreaker.
will never use another dell. i dunno which is worse... reliability or customer service. one in usa whilst there...one back home in za (what was i thinking...oh yeah...it looked pretty cool). if you gave me a one as i gift...i would re-gift it...to someone i don't like. but thanks for the review...as always...good work. 👍🏻
Bad hinge design, hinges will break easily. Dell doesn't want to recall this model. I guess there is a class action lawsuit against Dell for providing unreliable product
The hinges! Be prepared to spend a good amout of money around 1-2times a year when those tacky plastic hinges break into small pieces, making your laptop unusable. Since they are a part of the plastic cover, the whole set needs to be replaced when a hinge goes bust. I had mine replaced twice in 18 months, despite my best care. The engineering team responsible for this s**tty design should be fired. Actually, these laptops should be recalled and replaced.
Hi there, I said "Slightly dated" not outdated. Wifi 6 cameout in 2019 and was replaced with 6E in 2020 there by indicating an older version of wifi being used on this device.
Dude, its insane that in 2023 companies are still selling these garbage specs laptops at MacAir M1 prices ! Moreover, 90% Dell laptops suck, thermal issues /venting /soldered RAM & much much more. Who'd pay $899 for such a piece of trash ? I'd not even pay $350.

like all dells have a cooling problem we have a 3 year old touch screen that's worth like 1k and the cooling is terrible

Im currently using this laptop but one problem is the hinge is really wobbly. so it always worry me
Which would you rather get, a new budget computer or a refurbished maxed out, but dated flagship computer like the dell precision line.
