Dell uses 2 different panels. I am pretty sure this is the lower 250 nits, or they would have advertised the better one Frown Other than that, it seems like a solid machine, but check the reviews on the hinges. They have had problems in the past with them breaking, especially on the flip/ touch screen versions

Here is one review: Cons: touch screen is not useful, it would better to replace touch screen with higher color (RGB) screen. Fan noise is a little loud.
I jumped on it but then realized in time that 5700U is still Zen2 based. Just in time so I was able to cancel and avoid Dell restocking fee
Didn't say 250 is good. Just stated the fact.

At this price, it's hard to find 300 nits. Even 300 won't make a big difference under the sun.

Since I don't watch dirty videos outside, it's OK.

Quote from popcornready :
Many people jumping on this because of the $120 Amex + ten percent c b, which brings this all-in the $560-570 range. Lots of puts and takes across various configurations of laptops available today, but for this price this is an exceptional deal for a non black friday / cyber-monday event. If you are a serious laptop gamer, movie watcher, or guy who sits outside when they work (most people sit inside 99% of time) maybe this isn't the powerful machine for you and you need processor + screen above all else. For many people working at a desk and in outlook, excel, chrome, PPT all day this machine will go above and beyond, and battery is strong. Let's be sober about all this.
People knocking this processor are idiots frankly. Yes it's worse than the 5800u but that is the case for literally every CPU available generation over generation. At this price point you can't get a 5800u so it's irrelevant.

To put this in perspective. This 5700u is 5 times better than my Intel i7 that was using daily in my personal laptop and 4.5 times better than the i7 that I use in my work laptop to do massive spreadsheets and data modeling.

There is literally nothing that this 5700u processor won't do.

I bought the below laptop in late 2019 to do some gaming, among other things.

Lenovo Flex 14 2-in-1 Convertible Laptop, 14 Inch FHD Touchscreen Display, AMD Ryzen 5 3500U Processor, 12GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB NVMe SSD, Windows 10, 81SS000DUS, Black, Pen Included
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&psc=1

It's not the most powerful thing, but I'm able to play a lot of games good enough for my tastes.

Would this one be significantly better for gaming? Thanks!

Its about twice as good as the 3500u in multi-thread benchmark and 25% better in single thread. Both apparently have Vega 8 integrated graphics. I probably won't play anything crazier than command and conquer 3 tho lol.

I just uninstalled it lol.

I haven't had anything more than windows defender for the last 5 years and have no problems. Can't see why I'd change that up now haha

I got the same laptop from last deal Here's my review from last post:
I just got mine 2 days ago, the 5700U, 16 GB option. It does have touch screen(250 nits) and finger print scanner.
Charging it with USB-C cable since day 1(using 65W charger). Dell's brick charger still in the box untouched <--- hate the dedicated charging cable.
Single charge of the laptop can last 12 hour straight with lighter work easily.
My fan doesn't always turn on but there's this application called "Notebook FanControl" set the config to Dell Inspiron 7375 and it can control the fan perfectly, but if you are running some heavy stuff make sure to turn it on. I like to turn it off when I'm just doing excel and browsing. laptop stays around 35~45 C without a fan on.
I did turn off "processor performance boost mode" from the power options, since I don't do video/photo editing. Base clock speed is plenty.
Set the "processor performance increase threshold" to 85% , turn system cooling policy to passive to keep it as cool as it can and prevent the fan to turn on.

One thing kind of bothers me is the right click on the touchpad. Mine does not register when I press it, I hear the click not the right click option won't show up, can anyone share their touchpad experience? I can always use 2 finger touch to enable the right click option, since I do like this laptop not sure if I should to return it.
I tried notebook fan control. Did not control this laptop

Does it read the temperature correctly?
Make sure fan control service status is "Enabled".. try to pull the slide to 50%.
I noticed you can't really control it at the specific fan speed, If I set it at 5%.. then it will be around 12% but still can't hear it so it's fine by me.

Ok, so its working now. I do not know what changed. Probably its the fact that I restarted my pc. Also I have selected Inspiron 7348 for my Inspiron 5515, with Ryzen 5500u. Thank you!

Also When I switched to Inspiron 7375, the fan control and temperature reading were much better, so I think that is the configuration to choose.
