Unusual to see one this large without a number pad. I prefer to use one but not all of my laptops have it. Looks like a very good value.

Weight is not bad for this size. Most 15-inch models are heavier.
16:10 is a plus, 300 nits with 100% sRGB.
PD ad DP out.
16GB RAM.
1080p. webcam.
I see nothing this really needs out of the box. Could it benefit from a RAM upgrade? Maybe to help future proof, but not really necessary.

Good post! I would consider this a solid mid-level deal, but I am not the maestro here. TU.

Just FYI! Dell got rid of their mid level 15" and 17" and went to the 16". Also, Dell's lower end 3000 models doesn't have a backlit keyboard so you'll have to spend $300 more to get this model to have that feature. The trackpad on this and the 5620 are huge so while typing your mouse can jump to different places if you're not careful. Yes they removed the number pad. The reason why is they wanted the trackpad to be centered and with the number pad it wasn't. I still prefer the number pad especially with BitLocker being turned on, on every machine. It's a nightmare to type the key in without a number pad.
The biggest thing I hate with this machine is it has a digitizer but isn't a 2-in-1 so why have glass over the screen. It's brighter but has a bad glare if you're using it anywhere where there's light. They make screens with the touch function built in, which makes it easier to repair. So, if the screen gets broken on this model, it will be very expensive to fix. The weight isn't bad but I still think the 5515 (model before this one) was a lot better machine and so far I haven't been a big fan of the 16" models.

Yes, it is a pretty decent mid-level laptop. Also, apart from the internals, the whole laptop is made of aluminum alloy and as per the reviews, very high quality and sturdy with strong lid. Regarding the Ram upgrade, 16GB is more than enough for most use cases for this kind of laptop but if you need more, good thing is unlike the partial or completely soldered Ram trend, both slots are upgradable here and you can go up to 64GB.

Almost similar with exact same build, keyboard and touchpad. However, the 2-in-1 version I think, has a bigger 80 WHr+ battery.
Thanks!

Buyers beware: I received mine yesterday and I'm already having the infamous trackpad issues. Also it gets hot easily which induces loud coil whine. I'm gonna find out how hard it is to return this thing. I'm coming off a five year old Dell 13" that I loved, but it seems like they've cut too many corners on this one. Anyone else having problems?

Received mine yesterday. Been using it fine so far - no trackpad issues. In fact I had the more expensive Inspiron 7620 2-in-1 with the 12th gen i7 processor (purchased for over $1k) that looks similar and did have trackpad issues with it. Reached out to Dell support at the end of September and their ETA for replacing the trackpad was late October! So I just returned it to the retailer.

Now. that said, this laptop does seem cheaply made - the outer body although appears to be aluminum is not as sturdy as the 7620. One good thing about this is the trackpad seems better - fingers crossed I don't have the trackpad issue! Additionally, it has a smaller battery and also no bottom firing speakers like the 7620. All in all, it's probably not a bad deal for what you get but so far, Dell support seems iffy at best and the fact that they want me to wait more than a month for a repair is simply unacceptable!

How about the heat and fan noise/coil whine? Is yours doing that?

No but the dreaded touchpad issue just appeared. I'm afraid it's going to have to go back... Are you planning to keep yours and get it repaired under warranty?

No. I don't think it's worth the headache. It's gonna have to go back.

Agreed. I still don't understand how a brand new laptop develops a touchpad issue within a day. Not sure if this is a hardware issue or something else but surprising that Dell has done nothing to rectify even though there's probably tens of thousands of units being returned over this issue and they continue to sell these defective laptops.

Deal is dead.
I can tell you from past Dell deals. Bought a new Insprion, Did not use it much for quite awhile, started using it more and started having a problem with the keyboard. Reported to Dell 9 days after warranty expired and they would do NOTHING. Did notice the problem at 6 months but got distracted till later on. Anyway was a hardware issue with the keyboard. There were thousands of complaints on theses Insprions and Dell did Nothing! Thousands of people deveolped keyboard issue, there were multiple threads on it. Had to replace the keyboard. Many thought Dell should have had a recall, but they did nothing and took no responsiblity for defective hardware. Swore I would never buy another Dell product.
