Slow and hard to update windows
This is the slowest computer I have ever had! The experience was the worst. You have a bad product!

The AMD-powered Inspiron 3185 is decent.
If it possessed double the RAM in the box (measly 4GB slows things considerably, then the 3185 dual-mode notebook would be amazing. The touchscreen is accurate and reasonably bright. Battery life is decent, and the 500GB hard drive is a good size for the price. Besides the RAM, I have only one complaint with this design: the unfortunate placement of the power button. Located on the right side of the keyboard, it is so far forward (3.4-inch from the front edge) that it's easy to attempt to lift or reposition the notebook and accidentally shut it off. I've had this Inspiron for two weeks and I have been forced to wait for it to come back up a couple dozen times. The processor is a good one, an A9-9240e composite CPU/GPU, and the embedded R5 graphics can handle light gaming.

System is extremely slow. Needs at least 8mb RAM to be productive.

Slow and hot
My wife wanted a nice little red computer. It is nice and cute, but it is a bit slow to respond (keyboard and web surfing. I have a larger Dell that is not like this. But the main thing is the lack of a cooling fan. It does get pretty warm, and that is not going to be a long term thing for us to endure. It is going back to the merchant who shipped it to us.

Inspiron 3185
A nice 11.6" notebook well suited for business travel. Particularly useful for those who need the full functionality of a PC but also the convenience of a tablet.

Cheap Study Laptop
Great value for money, I use mine for Uni and so far its been up to the task. Battery life could be improved and I did upgrade to 8gb of ram straight away. But for the price, it does everything it needs to.

The laptop is very adaptable and easy to use but is a little slow. It is fine for my use and I can live with the speed.

Good inexpensive device
This has the features I want, is compact without being too compact, and I love the convertible screen. Negatives: 1 Power button is awkward and far too easy to press by accident, especially when opening or closing the screen past 180°. It was a mistake to put the button on the edge of the base like it is. 2) The lack of an LED indicating power is on is INSANE.

I bought this about 1 yr ago in it early beginnings the laptop was doing fine towards the end it ran slow. This Laptop I would recommend if your are a person who does lots of work or heavy loads because it will freeze on you and if it just for videos i would say its ok

Not for everyone
There are many positive things ablut this little marvel. I have two other top of the line computers, which are extremely complex, used for business, and cumbersome to travel with . I needed a small SIMPLE computer for personal use that I could pop along with me at other times this fit the bill. Its what you could expect for a low end computer, no bells and whistles, screen must be viewed directly or there is loss of clarity, VERY slow, and freezes and crashes more than I like. I realize this is a low end model, but a lighted keyboard would have been a nice touch. All that being said, I am very happy with the purchase of my little red companion. It is a fine Dell product, affordable, light, well designed, gets me email (even Netflix . What more can I say

Trouble with computer
First of all, it gets way too hot. I like to use a laptop on my lap, but after 5-10 mins. or so, it's burning hot. I have to carry a cooling pad, which defeats the purpose of a travel computer. It has also cut out to a black screen several times for no reason. And I'm not sure if this is connected with the Dell or not, but Word keeps cutting out every few minutes. The cursor freezes, it says Word is not available, then the doc disappears for several seconds. Later it reappears as an autosaved doc usually several seconds later. But it means retyping things I'd already typed. I had this same model before

the comp. get overheated easily and glitchy noises
in about an hour of using the laptop if you touch the laptops bottom your hand will either hurt of the heat or burn you hand a little (or a lot) and from time to time the noises sound for a split second a little corrupted

Love Dell but not this PC
This PC brand new out of the box is too hot on the bottom after being powered up for 15 minutes. There's no visible ventilation, or fan to help with that. And it's slow navigating through non internet pages

Almost perfect for the price!
I have this in red w/ mouse and sleeve. Both are accessories I would recommend for this product.
Display: Good brightness and color spectrum. Only minor issues with glare, and basically no issues with viewing angle when on my lap. Looks better than a lot of laptops that are 1368 resolutions. Touch screen is ok with finger but could be a little more responsive.
Build: Love the size and weight! Love the red color especially with matching accessories. Body of computer is very sturdy but screen bends easily. Keys feel is shallow but crisp. No fans or vents, but heat has not been an issue because this laptop only handles light functionality.
Performance: This is a sub $200 laptop so please keep that in mind when reviewing or reading reviews! Battery life seems average. I was able to stream One Punch Man on Hulu with no issues. I can have a few web pages open with no issues. I can play OSRS without lag. Anything more than that is probably not an intended function anyway. Does not multi task well. Performance is almost top notch for the price, but the 32gb memory (that I knew what I was getting when I bought it is basically full just from running windows.
Verdict: This laptop makes a good netbook or streaming laptop. If you need a lightweight computer that is cost effective, you will not regret picking one up. Not recommended for school, work, or shared home laptop due to HD space.
4 of 5 stars because 32gb is silly and even a 64gb HD would give you a huge step up in performance and realistically not cost more!
PS. W/ these specs and price, would make a great laptop for a light version of linux

Great except...
I don't know why but it's not even seeing my hotspot for my cell, which is the whole reason I bought this instead another full sized laptop... so I can take it to my college courses!

SLOOOOOOW
I can hardly do anything, it takes about a minute to load a new tab and forget it if you are trying to game. Its battery is trash and failed in about a month. It is way to slow to do anything on unless you want to spend a whole day on it.

I am sorry, but; this laptop is a great disappointment. The touchpad seems numb, navigating is slow to say the least. I don't always get to where I want and teaching a paralytic senior citizen how to use a computer for the first time is very stressful for both of us. This laptop did not make it any easier. I do not recommend this to others.

Worked well for a couple of days now my son cannot connect to his favourite games, I cannot load Trend Micro as McAfee will not uninstall and internet is sluggish even though every other device in my house runs fine on the wifi
