Dell 2019 New Inspiron 11 Chromebook 11 6 HD Non-Touchscreen Display Intel Celeron Dual Core N3060 Processor 4GB

It's cheap for the high quality product! I love the up-to-date design and manufactural quality, but I am not skilled with computer technology. I will play with it for a while, then give it to my children for full utilizing its potential. Read more

I have had several chromebooks over the last decade or so. They offer a lot....they aren't windows or apple machines but for the majority of users they can replace traditional PCs for a fraction of the cost. Also they are fast and maintenance/malware free. This one took me about 3 minutes to set up. This inexpensive model is perfect for my son to take to school. It is compact and light weight. The speakers are loud, the screen resolution is adequate, and it is fast online like any decent Chromebook. For an extra fifty or so we could have gotten a model with a better screen, but this is just fine for a kid's backpack computer, or an adult's travel computer, and is a good value overall. Read more

I wanted to enter the world of chromebooks, since so many of my students have them (but almost always forget to bring them to tutor sessions). I didn't want to invest a lot of money as I already have a nice desktop PC and a small tablet for entertainment streaming. I also have a nice Dell 11.6 Windows laptop 2 in 1, purchased 4 years ago for tutor use, but it is noticeably slow as Windows is always pokey to load, or chooses to update when I wake the thing, or has to wind through a virus protector, THEN load Chrome with Google docs or slides (even on a desktop shortcut). That's not so fun when you've got a room full of high schoolers looking for an excuse to get distracted. So I was intrigued by those ads that showed the speed and ease of chromebook for Goggle Docs and Slides. To test my theory, one student and I had a loading race with their chromebook and my older windows 10 Dell (updated, memory cleaned, debugged...so lean and mean as its going to get), and hands down, the chromebook left my old Dell Inspiron 3000 windows 10 in the dust. That brought me to Amazon and this chromebook. This Dell N3481 (as it says on the box) chromebook 11, NON TOUCHSCREEN, is an excellent economical student chromebook which is why I gave it 4 stars. It is a nice back pack size, overall sturdy (though the screen-lid feels like it bends a little which is a bit disturbing but probably harmless), from sleep loads to chrome menu incredibly fast, then opens Google docs or slides incredibly fast, plus has a long life battery. Don't expect to run your favorite Windows programs as this is not that kind of computer. It is a glorified Android (chrome) tablet with nice touch dedicated keyboard for those who are tired of typing with their thumbs for longer composition essays in the Google doc/slide or mobile app formats. So for a student notebook, it is excellent and an extremely good buy at the price of about $160 new (at this time). What it is not: It is not for a professional tutoring business where 2 students, or a small group club, have to look at the same screen at angles. This is NOT IPS nor is it in any way multidirectional. The description where it says it can lay flat to view is an exaggeration at best, misleading in truth. The moment you leave dead center, with an otherwise decent to good quality screen that is bright and sharp enough for Netflix surfing and definitely any browsing or document work, you enter the world of shadows and rank invisibility. That won't make a a bit of difference if you are a single student using your computer to sit at your desk to do homework. It DOES make a BIG difference if you need to be able to view it at off angles. In order to do that, upgrade to the Dell touchscreen model which includes IPS technology so that the screen is bright and sharp at all angles...flat, tented, side by side two people, small club, etc. The sound is decent to good for one student, and loud enough to listen to over a newer dishwasher while you video watch while cooking. It is tinny and somewhat indistinguishable if you put it up to full so that a group can listen to the video. Buying a reasonably inexpensive USB speaker will clean that up (which I had on hand for proof). And yet...I returned it. The deal breaker was lack of screen angle for my purposes. I love the chrome environment as it fits my tutor needs. If this were for my child to go to high school or even college....I would have been happy. However for what I need in my tutoring business and club coaching, I have returned it to upgrade to the Dell Inspiron Chromebook 11, 2 in 1, touchscreen. It will be like my old Dell windows 2 in 1 just without the clunky windows 10 bogging down efforts to get to Google work. Read more

I bought this to replace my much larger and starting to slow laptop. I was just looking for something small and not crazy expensive being that I don't use it for much more than paying some bills or printing something out. It's a pretty quick little device. Turns on very quickly, a lot quicker than my old laptop and does everything i need it to do. Read more

As hard as I tried, I could not confirm the AUE date until I got the machine. The Machine says June 2022. I only bought a new box because my accer reached this AUE date and no longer updates so its not secure enough for things like banking in my opinion. It worked for over 4 years. This is a 2019 mfg date but Chrome itself tells me I reach that same point where I can't get updates past 2022. I am very dissappointed dell and Amazon still have these on the market. I will keep it and hope they extend updates but next time I buy at a store where I can check the floor model first before I set it all up. I don't want to return a machine with my account setup on it. It took 45 minutes to do its update. Read more

Where we live, we couldn't get connected to the schools e-learning program. At least not with my older computer. Got this for our kid's schooling to keep up with classes / homework. It has a few other programs that make it even easier for him to connect with Votech classes and library as well. Again, older computer wouldn't. We will be getting a keyboard cover to prevent food / dust as these keys are open. It's not a touch screen and there are no extra bells and whistles. It's a standard chromebook. It does need a mouse . Read more

The kids needed Chromebooks for school work during the quarantine. These fit the bill perfectly size and performance wise. Zoom online meetings and Google Classroom work flawlessly on the them. I only wish there was more than one USB port on them. Not sure why the review asked me to rate the Touch Screen on this model as it doesn't have that. Read more

It is an below average product. Web pages are slower to load than on old chrome book. Main complaint it the mouse pad. Lots of phantom "clicks" when you just move the cursor over a link. This computer is alright, gets the job done, but I would not buy it again or recommend it. Edit - ended up dying after two months. Do not buy this. Read more
