In searching for a good 'Back to School' laptop, my criteria was that it needed to be durable, functional & reasonable.

I wanted a laptop that will last a while not some junk that will break in 2 years. Because of this, I wanted a reputable brand.

I've always had good experiences with Dell, so I decided to give it a shot. This Dell 15(3521) i15RV-6143BLK really ticked all of the boxes for me.

* It has the Intel Pentium Processor, which I've always preferred over an AMD.

* It has a decent amount of Memory with 4 Gigs then 500GB Storage on the hard drive.

* This laptop has a DVD Burner (Dual Layer DVD+/-R Drive) which was a nice bonus.

* It has a generous sized 15.6" screen which is in HD (780p). I really don't need 1080p on a screen this size.

* All of the images are crisp and the colors are vibrant & bright. Great picture quality.

* It's very cool having such a large screen with Touch capabilities.

* The screen itself is very responsive to the touch of a fingertip & it's neat to do things 'sans mouse pad'.

* So far, the battery life on this laptop is very good. On a full charge, it goes for several hours no problem.

* It's very slim & sleek. Light weight, too. The top has a textured design, which gives it a unique & classy look.

* There's an "8 in 1" Media Card Reader, which allows you to load photos or any data from older (or newer style) memory cards.

* It has Bluetooth capabilities and a decent audio system built in. (Waves Maxx Audio 4.0)

* Of course, there's a built in webcam at the top of the screen.

* There are Four USB 3.0 Ports Three on the left side and one on the right.

* There's also an Ethernet Port, an HDMI Port & a standard AUX port on the sides of the keyboard.

* Even the keyboard itself makes me happy! It feels like quality. Typing is fluid & quiet.

* It has a separate number pad to the right of the keyboard which I prefer on a laptop.

* The mouse pad is smooth not textured, which for me is yet another little detail that puts this one over the top.

This comes with Windows 8 Pre-installed. Being this is my first experience with windows 8, I'm glad I paid a little more & got a "Touch Screen" rather than a laptop with a traditional screen. It's really made my transition into Windows 8 more acceptable. Coming from Windows 7 and XP before that, it does take a little getting used to. That being said, this Dell Inspiron 15 has everything that I was looking for and more. It's perfect for everyday computing and the touch screen makes it all the more attractive. It's so nice... I'm thinking of buying another one for my son... and keeping this one for myself!

Windows 8 is fun. The touchscreen takes a little getting used to for those of us who do not have a smart phone. The keyboard is comfortable and responsive. All things considered, a nice entry level touchscreen laptop.

I'd bought an Acer Aspire, but it was slow and very difficult to use, especially as I was getting used to Windows 8 as well. So after three days I returned it and ordered this Dell instead. Very smart decision. With this computer, I went from hating Windows 8 to loving it. The touchscreen is quick and sensitive, sometimes a bit too sensitive, but it switches between screens and apps quickly. There were not as many unnecessary apps, thus reducing clutter. The processer is very fast, with almost instantaneous switches from screen to screen. The computer itself is far sturdier, the mouse is great, and works all over the mouse pad, which is useful when trying to copy and paste. I also like the fact its smooth. The keyboard is smooth to type on. The only negatives I've found on this computer so far are both minor. The first is that the battery does not lie flat against the bottom of the computer, which makes it a little uncomfortable when sitting on your lap. The other is the mousepad, screen, and cover are very easily smudged. But overall, this is a great computer for the price, especially for someone like me who is not particularly computer-literate and just getting used to Windows 8. Its certainly far far better than the Acer I had before.

I really like this laptop. The size is excellent and I really like the long battery life. Windows 8 has a bit of a learning curve but now that I have the hang of it I love it. I like the diamond texture of the system as well.
