The OP posted that the battery life is 4 hours

Battery Life (Maximum) 4 hr

That seems pretty low for a modern day laptop right? Other deals have battery life of 8-12 hours.
It has hyperthreading for 8 threads. This is more than enough for consumers even to virtualize and play around.
Seems like a great price. Just that the i7-1165G7 Processor has only 4 cores.

This laptop is mind bogglingly slow. It's completely unusable even for basic web browsing. After booting up with no running programs I open Edge and start typing and there is a few seconds lag before the letters show up. When it actually loads the web page I can't even scroll down the page. It makes no sense with an i7 and 16GB. I bought a regular inspiron 15 (not 3000) directly from Dell and it's only an i5 with less RAM and it runs great. I saw what others wrote about removing McAfee. I agree that McAfee slows things down, but the other laptop with lower specs also has the same McAfee running so it's just not a good explanation. It's sad because it seemed like such a good deal.

I got this a few days ago, mine (in USA) does have a back lit keyboard, I read it varies by region. It was very slow at first but after updates and uninstalling Mcafee it seems fine, although I haven't spent a lot of time on it.

What is the best way to run 2 external monitors with this laptop? Will one of the usb to hdmi adapters along with the HDMI port allow me to extend the display across 2 external monitors? I would like to leave this closed on a shelf and use wireless mouse/keyboard and 2 external monitors for browsing & lite office work.

I am planning to return mine as I am keeping the Best Buy Lenovo Ideapad 3. If someone want they can take from me. But I guess it's too much to ship.

Hey y'all,

I had the same issues that others mentioned in this thread, with the computer lagging, and Chrome also lagging. I don't know what devil's anus software Dell installs on these machines by default, but a wipe and re-install of the OS fixed it for me.

I had a USB to ethernet adapter, which was crucial for what I'm about to say:

I ended up using the Windows 11 media creation tool and created a Windows 11 USB.

If you don't have a USB to ethernet adapter, you can use the Windows 10 media creation tool, and install Windows 10, and then later update it to Windows 11.

Then:

I went into the BIOS, then display, and turned off the EcoSave crap that was dynamically altering the brightness of the display. Then I went to the HDD/Storage settings, and changed it from RAID to NVME.

Then: I booted from the USB, formatted just the OS partition (the 400+gb one / the one that's labeled OS), and re-installed Windows 11.

DO NOT delete the other partitions, and DO NOT update the firmware of the NVME drive. I don't know which of those two things caused my previous hard drive to eff up, but I had to go to office depot and exchange the laptop for another one.

Windows 11 setup requires internet, so I plugged in the USB to ethernet, and then finished the install, and all is right as rain.

No more lag in any applications, and Chrome works great.

So I finally got around to swapping all my crap to this laptop to start using it today and found it was very slow when using a browser afterall. I found that changing the setting as posted in this review on the office depot site worked for me, running great now!

"Like many reviewers here I had extremely slow browser performance out of the box even though all other functions were quite fast. Even days after all the updates had been completed. I fixed the issue by going to the settings in the individual browsers and deselecting "use hardware acceleration when available" this has made my browsers perform lightning fast. This seems to be a windows 11 problem and not an issue with the computer itself.
Hope this helps."
