Title: Brand is brand! Always prefer brand!
Review: As a first-time laptop user, the Dell 15 has exceeded my expectations with its excellent performance and versatile features. I primarily use this laptop for trading, watching movies, and general productivity tasks, and it has proven to be more than capable for all my needs.**Performance and Display:**Equipped with an Intel 12th Gen Core i3 processor and 8GB of DDR4 RAM, the laptop delivers smooth and responsive performance, even when multitasking between multiple applications. The 15.6-inch Full HD display with a 120Hz refresh rate provides a stunning visual experience, making movies come to life and enhancing the fluidity of my trading charts.**Portability and Build Quality:**Weighing just 1.69kg and featuring a thin and lightweight design, the Dell 15 is easy to carry around, whether I’m working from home or on the go. The spill-resistant keyboard adds a layer of durability, giving me peace of mind against accidental spills during long trading sessions or movie marathons.**Value for Money:**At a price of 29k, this laptop offers exceptional value for money. With its solid performance, vibrant display, and practical features, it competes favorably with higher-priced alternatives on the market. For a first-time laptop buyer like myself, it’s reassuring to know that I’ve made a wise investment in a reliable and versatile computing device.**Future Updates:**I plan to update this review after six months of using the Dell 15, providing valuable insights into its long-term performance, durability, and any additional features or drawbacks I may discover over time. This will be helpful for others who are considering purchasing the same laptop and are looking for real-world experiences.**Final Thoughts:**Overall, the Dell 15 has been an outstanding first laptop for me. Its combination of performance, display quality, portability, and affordability makes it an ideal choice for users looking for a versatile companion for everyday computing tasks. Whether you’re a student, professional, or casual user, the Dell 15 delivers a compelling user experience that punches above its price point. I highly recommend it to anyone in the market for their first laptop or a reliable upgrade.Edit: today 7 September 2024 my hinges broked but because of dell service they replaced my hinges and laptop upper body 👅 , Hinges were hard and after replacement they’re very smooth like Amul butter. Zero rupees replacement! Just call customer care and told everything! Within 2 days engineer visit and fixed it!, check my images and videos.Overall laptop is great 😸! I bought this laptop only 29k because of credit card discount..

Title: Laptop is good for the price
Review: I purchased this laptop on the 18th and today is the 24th. I have read a lot of reviews complaining about heating issues and yes they are right. This laptop is a heater. It will be very helpful during the winter season.But I am keeping this as I have liked it and that’s why the good 3 stars I am giving.When you use any laptop for the first few days, it heats up pretty badly because of a lot of updates going on in the background. I was almost scared when I see it heats up super bad and was thinking to return it. But that was just one time. But still, it heats up more than a normal laptop should. I didn’t expect it because it is an i3 12th gen and has an underpowered processor.If you want to use this laptop, you will need a laptop cooler and it will be ok.Why I am not returning it?I like it, it looks very beautiful and light and has a nice display and it can handle my coding work. I just purchased it as a backup laptop because my main laptop Asus Vivobook runs 14 to 18hrs a day for the last 5 yrs and it needs some rest.Personally, I won’t recommend this laptop. Maybe try Asus or HP. Asus gives the same features with a crap display and powerful i3 processor at a cheaper price.Here in short :-PROS -1) Compact and lightweight2) Good Display and sound3) Doesn’t hang. Actually, it will depend on you. I will need to increase RAM to 16gb because I have heavy software and it this i3 can handle it, just need more ram. For Personal usage, it is great.CONS -1) Heating Issues like everyone mentioned. I am just not returning it as it is ok for me.2) Severe Touchpad Issue.EDIT – 14th May, 2023Severe Touchpad Issue. Many times I am clicking touchpad which should trigger left click like all laptops do but sometimes it acts weird and trigger right click. Then it becomes worst and then touchpad stops working. It has happened like 4 times already. It is a brand new laptop and not even 1 month and such a major issue. I reset my laptop. I thought it is because I am using same account of old laptop. In new account on fresh installation, same issue 2 times already. I am disabling this touchpad and using mouse now. I will throw it to the service center in few days.EDIT – 9th July, 20231) Laptop is working fine but touchpad and mouse issue still. I am still using my 6yrs old laptop as my main laptop because its mousepad is fine and better that this laptop. I tested 3 different mouse and it is not smooth but those mouses work fine in old laptop and other laptops too. So something software related issue i guess. I am writing typing from this DELL laptop. I am shutting it down because I cant work fast due to random touchpad issue, will resume work from old laptop. Looks like I have wasted my 40k. May be I will sell this laptop here in Manila, PH and buy some other laptop from here. No more Online laptop now. Next laptop will test fully by using it for 5-10 minutes. Still not recommending this laptop. My coding work is very very light. Even 10 yrs old 2nd generation I3 processor can handle it. So it is not a coding issue.Edit: 31st January, 2024Laptop is working fine for last 3-4 months and no issue now. Specially no touchpad issue. I guess it was software issue. So I am increasing Ratings from 2 to 4 now. Won’t still give 5 stars though because of earlier issue. Now this laptop is my main laptop and I use it daily. I bought it as a backup laptop though. Will update after 4-5 months of usage and re-write proper review after 1 year of usageEdit: 21st August 2024.Well, on 14th August, 2024, laptop stopped working. I sent it to Dell repair and found motherboard is dead. They need to replace it whole.So I am not recommending this laptop. People say right. Never bought expensive stuffs online. This is 4th laptop and 1st online and so huge issue. Motherboard estimation is 16500 right now. Luckily I have insurance, I am not sure how much will they cover. My Asus, HP, Compaq and Macbook never got motherboard issue and all lasted long. This one gave so big issues even from start and now look at it.
