Keyboard

Love the keyboard, horrible webcam (updated)

Love the keyboard. I'm a mechanical-keyboard type of person, and while I typically hate low-profiles, I liked the keyboard on this laptop enough that it was the decision-making factor when it came down to a few options. Handles smaller games great, professional looking and would recommend to anyone using it for non-webcam related purposes. Update: Some serious graphical glitches came with this laptop

The keyboard is fantastic, and I have no issues writing for hours on it. The screen could use a little work, but the computer cost two hundred dollars. I have no issues connecting to my home or work wifi. It handles internet browsing and videos very well, but I have to be cognizant of how many programs/internet tabs I have running at once or things start to run a little more slowly

Battery Life

So lightweight!

The battery life is very short (4ish hours) and it takes a long time to charge (about 1 1/2 hours). The brick on the cord gets very hot as it charges as does the bottom of the laptop. Otherwise it runs cool. I really like that there is no separate place to plug in the charger

A good deal on a small laptop with SSD. Definitely get the 64GB version

So far the battery life, with standard settings, has been very good. If you fnd this one on sale, its a good deal.

Performance

BEWARE!!!! Paid full price for a new one and received a used one!!!

Laptop seems to be working "ok" as of now besides the WiFi issues everyone has been having and apps like Netflix and Hulu not properly working. Another thing that is concerning is the packaging. I'm pretty sure I was sent a used product considering it came in a cheap cardboard box and not in it's original XPS box/packaging. Also the laptop itself was not even wrapped in any kind of plastic or padding or anything and I am at a military base in Iraq

HP Stream 11-y010nr Review

48GHz turbo) dual-core processor with integrated graphics, along with the previously mentioned 32GB of eMMC flash that's both far slower and far smaller than a more costly laptop's solid-state drive. Launching programs takes several seconds, and after installing Office we had as little as 2GB of free space left; we clawed back 4GB more by uninstalling a previous version of Windows, but you won't be installing many apps beyond, perhaps, a favorite browser and a few utilities. You can also bolster the storage using a microSD card.

Trackpad

Read this before returning your XPS 15 or 17

they want just that laptop and returning it for another brand or other laptops in the Dell lineup just won't do). The vast majority of people seem to be having an issue with just the wobbly track pad, which sucks but it has a relatively simple and effective fix, linked [here](https://youtu.be/Cm-gZL7QXgI). If you have NO OTHER HARDWARE issues with the device, it appears to be not at all worth it to exchange your device for fear that you may get a unit with other defects (I

Never buy this laptop

and as far as features go the keys are set so far apart you have to stretch your fingers just to type, definitely not what ones wants while taking notes in a lecture. The track pad is not all that great and the screen quality is very poor, would never recommend this or purchase again. Greatly disappointed, waste of my very limited college student budget, and now I have to go buy a usable computer
