    Overalls performance of this laptop is good.
    This is a good laptop. It is working well during one month of regular uses for 5-6 hours. Battery is full charge in aprox 1 hour 30 minutes & its backup is aprox 6-7 hours for 3D software uses.

    Review of Dell Inspiron 15 5510
    After working with the Dell Inspiron 15 5510, I found it to be extremely easy to setup. Having 16 GB of RAM and an SSD drive makes this laptop very responsive with no lag. The laptop came installed with Windows 11. Configuration was very simple and files copied quickly from my old laptop to this one. The display is very clear and the HDMI port makes adding another monitor very convenient. The only drawback I found so far is that it only has 2 USB 3.2 ports rather than 4 as my older Inspiron had. I had to connect a USB 3.0 hub to connect all of my devices to the laptop.

    Dell Inspiron 5510 core i7 review:
    So far, very snazzy!
    With the i7 and 16 gb RAM, it’s a new level of performance. After settling for low-end (very low cost) devices for far too long, I believe the investment in the Inspiron 15 5510 will make my work so much easier. Lightweight case, lovely backlit keyboard and easy transition to Windows 11. I WISH the num lock button had its own on/off light as does the caps lock but, hey, it’s a minor thing. I’m early into using the device but so far it has been painless. And I remember from many, many years ago that Dell’s support was awesome; I’m guessing it still is.

    Awesome Machine
    With 16GB RAM (upgraded) and i7 chipset, I just love this computer in ways it works, particularly when handling heavy applications like video editing.

    Everything is good overall.
    PROS: Display is beautiful. Processor is fast. Keyboard is good. Battery backup is around 6 hours during normal uses. Touch pad is very responsive. sound is clear but not very loud. heating is normal.
    CONS: Camera is average and video recording is little laggy. Sometime after pressing power button the screen get ON again after few seconds.

    Great computer
    Love the Inspiron 5510 with 11th gen i7 chips and SSD. It works beautifully. Only difficulty has been with the lack of a decent program for moving my data and programs from my old computer. I didn’t order the Dell Migrate (which I think should just come with the purchase), and wasn’t able to access it later. Asked for Dell help, but they couldn’t figure out how to access it or purchase it later. It’s not visible on the Dell webpage. But there are other ways and my computer works, looks and feels just as I hoped it would.

    THE Essential Laptop from DELL
    Other than not having a touch screen (unavailable at time of purchase) I highly recommend the Inspiron 15 5510. You will find it an exceptional experience. It practically performs your work for you!!! The best yet in its price range and all that I added to it to enhance my workload.

    I Didn’t Expect So Much
    When I ordered my Dell Inspiron, I knew the software and the hardware that I was getting. I didn’t expect the computer to be packed with so many nifty features like My Dell, which give so many personalizing options for it. Also, ordering it was a breeze, and the customer service I experienced while placing my order was the best I’ve ever experienced from a computer company.

    Upset Customer :(
    I bought my brand new lap top online from the Dell website. When I received it, the mouse touch pad was not even installed. I spent two hours on the phone with a technician who wasn’t able to download the necessary hardware. My job is demanding, I travel a lot and now have to carry an external mouse with me. I expected my laptop to come fully equipped as advertised. Now, I have to wait two weeks for a drive for the touch pad and then even longer for a technician to come to my house to install it. Not happy. This is an expensive lap top that I bought outright. I shouldn’t have to worry about this, but I am.

    Easy setup!
    Purchased my new Inspiron 15 5510 during the Black Friday sale. It arrived in just a couple days! I turned it on and it walked me through the setup, step by step! Very easy for this 70–year old grandma!! This laptop is fast and intuitive–found my printer and I was ready to go! So far, I have no regrets. It is light and will be easy to use on business travel trips.

    Great Product but could do a little better
    This is a good laptop and for it’s price its even better. However things could of been better like the charger I received was the exact same one as my other 4year old dell and the adapter gets more hot then the old one from the 4 year old laptop. Also although it says that it keeps its self cool it sometimes gets warm and a little noisy. I also found out that the left vent just in front of the bottom of the screen is blocked and is just for the looks. I think that is why the left part sometimes gets hot and the right doesn’t. Overall I think it is a great product but next time maybe just fix a few things.

    My new Inspiron 15, 5510- works well right out of the box
    After 7 years of working with my trusty Inspiron, I bought the new 5510, Core i7, 16 GB memory with 500GB SSD. Right out of the box it worked well, with both Win 11 and the Dell Support software started almost automatically. The laptop is elegant and the keyboard is comfortable. The laptop display is good, but I also bought an external monitor (32″ LG QHD, connected HDMI) which makes my life even easier. The only negative I’ve found is the limited number of ports, and most particular, the absent of Ethernet cable connection port. This fact must be highlighted in the spec. I have solved the problem by purchasing Ethernet-to-USB 3.0 hub with 3 additional USB ports. Plugged it into one of the (only) two USB’s in my laptop and now I have USB ports: 3 (on the hub) 1 (on the laptop), and I’m wire-connected to the Ethernet.

    Dell Inspiron 15 5510 issues with laptop:
    The issues faced by me after 1 month of use are as follows:

    (1) When moved around (taken from one room to another, working from the lap) the tack-pad behaves funny : The cursor will freeze and it flickers. Basically the trackpad stops working for a 10-20 sec. before its starts working again.

    (2) The earphones are not recognized in one try. You will have to try 2-3 times for the earphone jack to get detected (FYI : I am using mid range JBL earphones and this problem is seen with my other pair of earphones as well.)

    (3) The SSD is fast, but not as fast as higher end ones. That’s why it takes 13-15 sec to boot up instead of 8-9 sec. required in comparable machines.

    Inspiron 15 5510 11th generation specs and review:
    Great laptop so far. It felt hot above the Fn keys at first but I turned the keyboard light off and that solved the problem. It came with some crapware but I was able to uninstall McAfee and other pre installed useless garbage. I did an internet speed check before and after uninstalling SmartByte and my internet speed was much faster after uninstalling it. I want to know why you guys would pre-install programs that slow the computer down. I’m guessing it has something to do with money… I had to manually go through the control panel and deny programs access to my camera and microphone…the default settings were not made with privacy in mind. I noticed the screen was flickering occasionally but that stopped when I changed the refresh rate from 60 Hz to 48 Hz. Windows 11 is okay so far but I might install Linux Mint later on. I don’t like not being able to uninstall programs that I will never use, like “Xbox Game Bar.” Maybe there is a way to uninstall it and I just haven’t figured it out yet. With that said, I love the feel of this laptop, the numpad is great, and it has been running very smoothly lately. I hope it continues to run smoothly for many years to come.
