Dell A6-9220e Inspiron Flagship High Performance Laptop, 11.6"

For the price, cant complain. Its a tiny, light laptop. But I honestly think my phone is more powerful. Cons: Its got basically no storage space, so youll need to buy something like a Micro SD card with 32-64 gb. You legitimately cannot update to the latest version of windows without removing some pre-installed stuff because it has that little room. Speaking of the bloatware that comes pre-installed on it.. You can basically improve the performance of the laptop by 75% just by doing the Fresh Start feature in Windows 10. Before I did this, the CPU was constantly running at 99%. Its chilling at about 20% now. It took about 5 hours before I gave up trying to fix the horrible performance myself and just did the Fresh Start.

I am pleased with this device and use it for a few activities while on the road traveling: email, word processing and web surfing (videos). This is great for students and the form factor is small so it is perfect for travel. However, there is some work to get it going out of the box and if you are a technical person, you can make this system run well. As a technical person myself, I will break up my review into 2 parts - a non-technical section and a technical section. Non-Technical: Out of the box, everything is loaded but the upgrade process (windows and system updates) will require an external drive or a micro SD card (I used a 256 GB micro SD card inserted into the slot on the side). Go through the update process, activate your 1 year of Microsoft Office 365 and enjoy. I would recommend going to a technical shop and upgrading the memory to 8 GB especially if you want to watch videos and allow the system to move a little faster. Also be careful of the limited hard drive space because that will slow things down and make use of the SD card when you save or download things. This process can take about 4-6 hours because of the limited hard drive space and depending on your internet connection. Technical: PLEASE DONT TRY THE FOLLOWING WITHOUT TECHNICAL EXPERTISE! Before starting this: - Make sure you activate your 1 year of Office 365 as mentioned above. - Go to the Dell support site and enter the service tag to download all the drivers and key Dell software for this device (I placed them on my Micro SD card). As many of you know the amount of "bloatware" is huge. I did a clean "custom" install of Windows 10 Pro 64-bit completely erasing all the partitions (the system out of the box has Windows Home and a couple of recovery partitions with Dell drivers and utilities). I created a local administrator account (since none of the drivers were installed). I proceeded through the update process to patch and update the OS (I hardwired with a USB ethernet connector to my network connection). After several reboots, the update process completed and the base OS was ready. I then went through and installed the Dell drivers for Audio, Wifi, Graphics, Chipset, Micro SD (the default was loaded with windows install) as well as the Dell Support Assistant and a few others. After several reboots, the system was ready. At this point, I have about 13GB of free space on the hard drive. I then installed Office and several utilities that I use. I made the changes in the Settings to manage storage and save everything to the micro SD card. I still recommend upgrading the memory to 8 GB. By the time I was done, I had about 11 GB free on the hard drive. This process is also about 3-4 hours to get everything ready to go and current. Please note that the hard drive is 32GB eMMC flash and is not upgradeable to an SSD (The eMMC is soldered onto the Motherboard). NOTE: you are removing all the recovery partitions and utilities but if you are technical, you know how to recover. Overall: I am really enjoying this little laptop and its perfect for on the road. I would have loved the capability of the touch screen but the extra cost for the touch model was not worth it for me. I use an external mouse and can do what I need. I also bought a Chromebook and I sent that back in favor of this system. I hope this was helpful. Enjoy the 2018 Dell Inspiron Flagship High Performance Laptop, AMD A6-9220e accelerated processor 2.5GHz, 11.6 inch HD (1366 X 768) Display, 4GB DDR4 SDRAM, 32GB eMMC Flash Memory, Windows 10 (Gray) !

This computer was purchased simply for the purpose of viewing the internet. I added Google Chrome as it is necessary to view some of the sites. This computer has a 32GB hard drive and is designed to run on Windows 10. However, Windows 10 and all the "accessories" MS includes uses up 27GB. It takes at least 8GB to install the Windows 10 update, so that cant be completed. I dont know how long the computer will continue to function without updates but by the time I discovered this problem, the return window had closed. Dell isnt the only company that is producing products with this problem. This has been a very discouraging but educational experience.

This laptop is very compact. I did have to buy an external harddrive to be able to keep all of my schoolwork with me. I use this to play minecraft, listen to music, and do schoolwork.

This is my updated review of this computer. In my first review I was quick to read other negative reviews. I tried most of the recommendations to make this machine what it is not, with little or no results. Plus I was frustrated with a small drive. When all that didnt work, I called Dell and this is how this product got upgraded to 5 Stars in my book. Dell tested the machine online with me on the phone and diagnosed a faulty motherboard, replaced it for free (shipping free as well) and now I have what the good reviews describe: a light weight, relatively fast, small laptop. I will say it does work better with 8gig of RAM and a 64gig storage. But nevertheless a good deal: good display and keyboard.

This notebook costs just ~140€ (!) and therefore your expectations must also be within the frame of this extreme budget price point. You will get what you paid for. This means that this notebook does have certain limitations and to make this ultra-low-cost device work properly you have to know a few things about how to set up a device running Windows 10 on just 32 GB of eMMC memory. The good thing is: Its not that hard. By the way, "32 GB eMMC" means: Buy an SD card too, it really is necessary! If you can manage that, its a wonderful portable companion for content-consumption, writing, multimedia, web-browsing and similar lightweight work loads. Connecting a TV via HDMI as second screen and opening three PDFs, two docs, a power point presentation and your mail client while surfing the web in Firefox plus watching a YouTube-Video in 1080p is not a problem and works well enough! Just not right out of the box. PS. You can easily update Windows 10 by downloading the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool directly from Microsoft. It enables you to store the latest Windows 10 version on a flash drive on another PC with enough space, so that you can update your Dell notebook using that prepared flash drive.
