A Fabulous Dell Laptop

I have to state that the Dell Inspiron 13 7000 Series 2-in-1s Laptop computer is just a terrific product. It is much better than I ever expected a small sized computer to be. Working a smaller sized laptop was not really something that I was very enthusiastic about initially. Clearly, that changed when I did my review previously. This time around I was so excited to be playing with the smaller computer. 

To be direct, writing the usual type of my article would really be quite a small variation of the article that I wrote before on March 24, 2016: "Another Dell Laptop Computer." (http://tecumsehcityblog.blogspot.ca/2016/03/another-dell-laptop-computer.html ) Except, I want you to understand why I find this computer so special to buy.

While it is not exactly the same computer, the one that I have now is really an upgrade using new Microsoft software for Windows 10. While the software upgrade is quite extensive, one really does not see a whole bunch of changes while working on the new laptop. The real question is whether the Dell Laptop Computer is still a good product to use considering the new, upgraded Microsoft software.  

A 13" laptop.  So what if the size is really smaller than a "standard" laptop. But it really isn't much smaller looking at how it is designed. I actually had it out where this computer was sitting beside my larger portable Dell computer with its 15" screen. I really was surprised about how similar in size they really seemed to be.  Moreover, even viewing both computers' screens was a lot more similar than I expected. In other words, the 13 inch screen that the Dell Inspiron 13 7000 Series 2-in-1s Laptop computer has is not as bad as I thought a smaller laptop screen would be.  

To be fair though, I would not suggest using the smaller screen laptop if the computer is to be used as a "working" laptop for full-time use all of the time. However, the reality is that the smaller screen is not that hard to use. The Dell Inspiron 13 7000 Series 2-in-1s Laptop computer could be very good to use on a business trip as an example rather than to take a larger and heavier one depending of course on how the computer is to be used while on the trip.  After all, believe it or not, its starting weight is under 3 lbs which makes it quite a bit lighter than standard sized 15" portables which is usually only a couple of pounds more. Weight does get much heavier as time passes so that the lighter Dell laptop has a distinctive advantage. 

This type of a laptop really is quite positive. It is quite different because it can be set up in 4 different modes. Dell describes the 4 different setups this way:

 

1) the normal laptop appearance

2) the tablet appearance where the screen is pushed right onto the laptop to make one thicker unit that seems to be screen only

3) the tent view where the screen and other unit are shaped like a V–tent

4) the stand approach where the laptop screen effectively sits on the main unit which is folded up to provide support. 

Just think of it. Effectively one has 4 different computer shapes for one relatively low laptop price.  Now that is surprising that makes the product quite attractive. What is also quite appealing is that, depending on which model one purchases, it can have a battery life of slightly over 11 hours according to what Dell claims.  I must admit that I would not run one of the systems that long since I might expect an earlier close down. 

One issue that I found fascinating with the Dell Inspiron 13 7000 Series 2-in-1s Laptop computer is how it really is designed and built.  Truly, it does not feel like a cheapo laptop computer. It just seems strong enough not to expect it to break using it. In the material that I received from Dell, it made claims such as the following about the quality of its product:

-- the product was tested in temperatures up to 65°C

-- lids were open and closed 20,000 times

-- common keystrokes were used 10 million times

-- batteries were removed and reinstalled 30 times. 

I have to say that the new Windows 10 computers have magnificent screens. The colours shown make what is designed or photographed and then shown so lifelike when reproduced.  Even in the smaller units. I must admit that I'm quite surprised at the real difference in appearance between this computer and ones under the previous Windows system.  The appearance in the new ones is so much better. 

There is a "reality" about a laptop like this. It would be absolutely positive for me to recommend that the Dell Inspiron 13 7000 Series laptop be used at home as a 2nd computer or, very importantly, for the use by children. 

Most home users have not until now required a desktop computer or, more importantly, a laptop as an alternative that should be purchased. There has not been until now a distinct need for many homes to have a 2nd computer purchased at all. With our newer way of carrying on, another computer is now needed by people at home. This smaller one fills that role and frankly can make a lot more sense to be purchased than getting a big one to sit at a desk permanently somewhere in the house.  

After all, it would be wonderful to have it positioned in a very close spot in the kitchen where food is being prepared. It can run the recipe as well as showing a video about how the food should be prepared so that the home "chef" can make a fabulous meal.  That is a lot more fun and probably of better actual help in preparing food than merely reading a recipe book. 

Using this computer to run a movie while one is sitting outside or playing music that someone might listen to or looking at photographs that one just received are all useful measures that can be handled on the Dell Inspiron 13 7000 Series laptop. How about making "free" long-distance phone and video calls over the computer to people around the world who are friends or relatives of the people at home. 

There is no doubt that one needs more than one computer for a family. Even if the employed person has a business portable computer that could be used while at home, does it make any sense to do so? Obviously not in case some action is taken that wrecks that computer by a householder. Imagine losing a whole bunch of business work that was prepared because of some mistake that was made. In addition, once the spouse that uses that computer is at work, what is used by someone at home? 

However, there's no doubt in my mind that a smaller in size computer that operates as a laptop will be absolutely needed by students in school. I must admit that I'm not certain at what age kids start using computers in school but I assume that it is in the lower grades these days. Why not buy a portable computer for the kids to use and especially to learn how to. As they get older, they obviously will need to use a computer more so why not buy something like this one that offers a child a computer that can help them do their school work. And also, it will be well needed for the child to talk with friends to make all kinds of plans. This is an obvious non-school need also that can be undertaken on the computer!

 

The Dell Inspiron 13 7000 Series 2-in-1s Laptop computer makes great practical sense to be purchased because its cost is relatively low.  It makes sense for people to think of purchasing it as an additional product because of the increasing needs to use a 2nd computer for a variety of home uses. It can be used for so many different functions for which software is now being developed since it is capable of handling all kinds of software products. It can undertake many software products that are now hitting the computer market. It will be used in ways that I can't even think of today. 

This Dell laptop computer is just such an important product to take a look at buying these days. After all, as we have just learned, another computer is needed for the home for a variety of different purposes. And even for some business uses as well.
