It is fast. And the screen is a hardware low blue light screen and looks very nice.
Keyboard is pretty flexible, compared to my very similar Lenovo thinkbook 13.
It does get hot and fans blow from the top, upward across the screen.
I've had the dreaded trackpad problems with it. Did the research which seems to point to inadequate grounding. Many people report success with soldering an additional wire to the back of the trackpad to a nearby ground.
I don't have a soldering iron so I tried doing the same thing with tape and don't have much success. Very irritating to use. If I'm using a mouse then I have no complaints with this laptop.
I'm not a gamer but it does play Enlisted very well, the only game I play.
I definitely reach for the Lenovo 9 times out of 10 though.
Good screen, size, keyboard, solid BQ. Personally, I haven't had any trackpad issues though there are complaints in the reviews.
The fans and heat can be an annoyance at times, but otherwise a laptop that checks most of the boxes, as long as you don't need a touchscreen!

OP, does F/S = free shipping? If so, you have also specified that there is a $15 shipping fee.

However I had to repair so many things on it over the years it wasn't funny. It also had many more serious things replaced by Dell directly and had to be sent back multiple times. I'm talking mouse pad, power switch, power port, keyboard failure, battery (horrible battery would last a year with limited use), usb ports, board swaps, etc. When the hinges went - the plastic Dell uses to attach the metal parts finally broke. Oddly, it simultaneously somehow also corrupted the system drive (SSD). Inexplicable and unrelated in my mind, but I can't think of any reason it failed other than the hinge failure took something else out on the board that the OS did not like.
I tried OS repair, etc. No good. I can get my files, but the OS itself is corrupted beyond repair. I even took it to a repair place and the guy made faces. He sees it all, but the best he could do is make a face when he saw it was an inspiron. Both XPS and Latitude are OK, but inspirons are not meant for long or heavy use and I did that.
From appearances - this inspiron has the same hinge set up. It is a "light duty" computer IMO. You can do the math - if you use it daily, and open close it 2-3x a day, that's approximately 1k hinge uses per year. Dell says - or they used to say- they design their hinges for 20k uses. I doubt I got 6k out of them. Many of the internal attachment points are plastic, and will with years of heat - just break. Same goes for the ports, switches, etc. They are not engineers for long term use.
I have an 11 year old acer laptop that is built like a tank and still going almost daily; it puts inspiron build quality to shame. I may still buy another, but just be warned these are built to use a short time before - catastrophic - failure.
