This is a basic, inexpensive laptop that works fine for everyday tasks (email, web browsing, etc.). This model is made for Dell by Compal, and it's fairly compact and portable: about an inch thick and around 5 pounds. It's not a rugged laptop (all plastic), so I wouldn't recommend it for road warriors. It's a reasonable trade-off of features vs. price. In order to reduce the cost, this is a no-frills laptop, but still has enough power for most home users. Unlike the Dell Switch models, this laptop does not have a removable top lid/cover. The diamond pattern "obsidian black" finish reduces the visibility of fingerprints. The power button isn't illuminated, but there are indicators on the front left edge.
Pros:
6GB of DIMM memory
USB 3.0 ports
HDMI output to connect to an HDTV
low fan noise, vents are on the side/rear (not on the bottom of the case)
numeric keypad to the right of the keyboard
built-in memory card reader
Cons:
mediocre TN screen has low contrast ratio, dim in bright light
4 cell battery (provides less life when unplugged than 6 cell batteries)
tiny built-in speakers (limited bass)
no LEDs on the ethernet NIC (for link/data)
webcam resolution is noisy/grainy in low light
integrated HD 4000 graphics (adequate but low performance)
Metro UI for Windows 8
I won't bash Win8 here but note that Dell also offers a touch-screen model, which might be a better choice if you intend to run Windows 8. This is a decent basic laptop for non-gamers. The integrated graphics is fine for web browsing or viewing a movie, but don't expect high 3D frame rates for fast paced games. Since the body/case is plastic, you can flex/deform the lid/screen and DVD tray without much pressure. With a bit of care, this laptop should work reliably for home computing users.

The camera has good resolution and a good processing speed and the volume is much better than my previous laptop by a different mfg. Also, it's much lighter than I expected.It took me some time to get used to Win 8. I found a good book for Windows 8: Windows 8 Made Easy on Amazon.com.
I would say it's a really good computer at its price point.

This is just a great notebook...lots of storage, fast, reliable. Not as wild about Windows 8, but that has nothing to do with Dell. I really have no complaints at all about this notebook.Honest reviews on Dell Inspiron 15 i15RV-9762BLK 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black Matte
The laptop itself is great, what I dislike a little about are two things:1) They touch pad buttons feel a little plasticky and have a loud click when pressed. But that is a small issue/
2) There is clicking sound in the CD-rom and no it's not the disc spinning, sounds almost like a failing hard-drive although it seems to be working fine.
