The built-in Core i7-1165G7 processor delivers enough performance for office and Internet applications, but it falls short of its capabilities overall. Dell opted for a low TDP of 13 watts. The RAM, which doesn't run at full speed, takes a toll on performance as well.

Laptop getting too much time to open, shut down, open files, open programs, open apps

I have now been in possession of my DELL Laptop for 2 weeks coming Friday 8th, still finding my way. It was very easy to set up with the help of a recorded voice guidance. I am not very familiar with Computers but made my decision to purchase on recommendation of a retailer who stock Dell and over...

I would have given it five stars had it not been for endless popups insisting that I needed to check out Dell mobile connect (even when I said to NEVER bother me with it again) and to provide reviews.

I just love this product.

On starting the computer it opens with the "Dell SupportAssist / On-board Diagnostics" page for the "Inspiron 3501". This contains an "Alert! TPM device in not detected" giving me the options of "Continue", "BIOS-Setup" and "Diagnostics".

shutdown stuck sometimes while clicking slide to shutdown

Outlook will not open - only 3rd time trying to use laptop.
