How to Remove Ubuntu from a Dell Inspiron Laptop

Advantages:
size, price, reliability

Disadvantages:
I change my mind over 5.5 years of everyday use. There are no shortcomings, taking into account all the iron in it. It is heated, yes, but tolerant. Working hours. Well, I changed the battery, I bought an improved one. 6-7 hours of continuous operation for the past year.

A comment:
Change laptop to phone 6-7″ changed his mind. laptop with a phone can not be compared))

Advantages:
Excellent screen, IPS matrix, touch;
Loud and clear sound;
Passive cooling;
Nimble, it feels like Dell engineers conjured up with Windows.

Disadvantages:
They saved on assembly: uneven edges on parts, some places around.

Great laptop!
Buying it you need to be aware of what it is intended for and what are the disadvantages. it is a continuation of virtues.
Yes, the screen could be brighter, and changes colors at an angle, but in this price segment IPS matrices, and even sensory, decent manufacturers do not put at all!
Yes, due to passive cooling, it slows down under games and resource-intensive applications, but a solid case without ventilation holes does not pump dust in a couple of years, like an ordinary laptop.
Yes, we saved on the assembly, but fit into the budget. And the economics of this picky user will never see.
I bought to put iTunes and store the music library. copes with a bang, even loads for some reason faster than the desktop and second laptop. large and powerful, for 60 pieces.
Surfing on the Internet, watching a movie on the road, reading books, listening to music, in a car via bluetooth, connecting toys are not very demanding. For this, these laptops are bought.
You can put AutoCAD or Photoshop, and then whine that the screen is small and generally slows down. but this is not a problem with the laptop, this is a problem with the user))

Advantages:
Lightweight, compact, my specimen holds the charge (with active use) for at least 4 hours, passive cooling (low noise, scratches the drive a little, dust does not absorb). Soundly assembled: does not play, does not creak, does not bend. WI-FI holds clearly (some write that it falls off, or anything like that). Design pleases the eye.

Disadvantages:
The screen flashes, there is an inversion of colors when the viewing angles deviate from 90 degrees, but this is not essential if it has its advantages for me.

A comment:
I am pleased with this thing, performance for solving office problems is enough with the mountain.

Advantages:
Easy to disassemble to replace memory and HDD. When replacing HDD to SSD. absolutely silent. Cloned the system by Acronis, activation remained.
Loud speakers. Easy.
“From the box” little established “left” programs.
The touch display is a cool thing, even in laptop mode.

Disadvantages:
Glossy screen, collects glare. The cover is also glossy, slippery. In the open state it looks like a children’s toy (I had a scarlet).
Sounds of system events are accompanied by clicks and jams. Although the movie, the music plays normally.

A comment:
Do not immediately get used to the lack of indicators. When installing updates, it was not clear how to assess the state of affairs. Hangs, does not hang.
Some technical details. Cinemabench evaluates the processor for a modest 132 parrots. SSD delivered Kingston UV400 240Gb. Crystaldisk intended 486/486.
Download time from the press of a button. 40 sec
At rest, the processor temperature is 45. With little activity, it immediately jumps to 55. After 20 minutes, Aida 75-79. Delivery with cooling is not an option. There are no vents in the bottom. To reset the temperature you need a couple of minutes.
Memory slot 1. Memory DDR3L 1600. Kingston KNWMX1-ETB was installed.

Advantages:
Compact, lightweight, cute laptop. Good draws office applications. Convenient keyboard and touchpad. Separately, it should be noted the presence of a touchscreen and the ability to use the device as a tablet.

Disadvantages:
Performance is lame. Applications are loaded for a long time, only the simplest ones are drawn from games. Build quality is not the best: the volume and power button rattles, the laptop case crunched in the front right corner. After squeezing with two fingers, the clip apparently fell into place and the crunch stopped. However, the sediment remained. 🙂

A comment:
I have a version with a Pentium N3710 processor and a 500 GB HDD. I did not drive performance tests, the impressions are purely subjective:
Openoffice works flawlessly.
Minecraft at settings close to the minimum, it works without any complaints. You can play, and quite comfortable.
Lego Worlds. at minimum settings noticeably slows down. You can play, but not comfortable. Plus, the laptop is very hot.
I tried to launch toys written in Scratch. simple ones work flawlessly, those that are more complicated can slow down, or even slow down a lot.
I took a computer for the child, more for educational, and a little for entertainment purposes. In general, I think he can quite cope with this task. At least at the initial stage.

Advantages:
small and compact, weight, flawless touch screen, all applications are already in the laptop

Disadvantages:
it is very noisy and overheating, it is necessary for me to use an SSD, it works well, but sometimes it loads applications for a long time, etc.

A comment:
I have been using the laptop for a couple of weeks, in principle, I am satisfied, I’m going to change the HDD to SDD and 8 GB RAM, they say there will be no noise and the performance is faster, then it’s generally an ideal option. For study, watchings, etc. everything is fine, only sometimes it takes a long time to open applications.

Advantages:
Weight, sensor, the presence of all the programs in the laptop upon purchase

Disadvantages:
Side Power Button

Advantages:
convenient on the road, because transformer. The batteries last for a long time, 4-5 hours for sure.

Disadvantages:
ON button You must immediately disable in the settings, because. when you pick it up, be sure to accidentally press the ON / OFF button. and it turns off. After the button is turned off, everything is fine, accidentally pressing it does not turn off the computer. It turns off forcibly. If you press this button and hold it pressed for a few seconds. And also: the manual volume control is also located on the side adjacent to the OFF button. difficult, it merges with the body. There is no SD card slot.

A comment:
And there are no complaints. I bought it in May 2017. I have never broken, although it’s on for 15 hours a day. I advise you.

Advantages:
Passive cooling, at the moment an adequate price, lightweight, touch screen, decent sound, licensed windows? 🙂

Disadvantages:
“bottleneck”. hard drive, budget plastic, power button, flimsy memory connector, no LED indicators on the case

A comment:
Last friend ASUS 1015PN passed away and he needed “workhorse” gathering dust on a shelf 🙂 The absolute silence of passive cooling and the touch screen on windows is still not very familiar. Easy. For iron in the top ten, of course, hard and percent are siphoned in places. I have a hard drive WDC-WD5000LPX-75VHAT0 with a linear speed of about 60 Mb / s, with a fairly even reading chart in the sectors 5 \ 20 ms, cache 16 Mb, 5400 rpm in SMART there are statistics of the operation of the shock sensor. But he is definitely a bottleneck in the assembly. Replacing the SSD, as it seems to me, will show the laptop on the pleasant side. The off button on the near right end is a mockery at the client “state employee”. Nothing but sleep, which costs by default, is difficult to put there. In tests for stress load, the processor was heated to 75 (extreme 90), memory to 51. During charging, the case under maximum load in some places heats up to about 39 grams. Although it is assembled as budget as possible (even regretted the paint on the USB 3 port), but in general it looks good assembled. In the BIOS, as always, jokes from DELL, the UEFI operating mode and legasy do not live together humanly. But Windows utilities look mostly useful.
The display frame is very correctly made, in order to close the camera you need only a small invisible square of adhesive tape :)) In general, I am satisfied with the purchase.

Advantages:
size, price, reliability

Disadvantages:
warms up, charging is not enough

Advantages:
Price and functionality

Disadvantages:
overheating is possible when replacing the HDD with SSD, there is no keyboard backlight, there are no light indicators other than CAPS LOCK, there is no pen for the screen, there is no case from Alume.

A comment:
Compared with the old 2in1 dell 7347 line, for example, they overcame “Phantom clicks” touch screen, and buggy touch pad. For my money, again the best in the world. This is essentially the best = Travel netbook iPad = 2 in 1. You just need to replace the drive with an SSD of 7,000 p. 8 GB memory DDR3L 1500 r. WiFi adapter on Intel 7265 ac 900 r. ebay Battery life is about 3-4 hours under load, or 7 hours in average mode. The body is clean plastic, they would make alume diod Claudia = the best of the best

Advantages:
4 cores, TurboBoost up to 2.55 GHz, the ability to supply 8 GB of RAM and SSD. The graphics turned out to be more powerful than I thought. The battery lasts for 3-6 hours, depending on the mode of use. This is many times more than my previous netbook. Convenient keyboard. Usually you have to get used to a new laptop, but this one is like a native one. With the included Dell MaxAudio, the sound is very decent and very loud. I did not expect this from a device of a similar size. In the previous netbook, the sound was much worse.

Disadvantages:
Due to passive cooling and a plastic case without holes, it overheats much in games. Trotting occurs FPS drops sharply 5 times. At the same time, the sound starts to slow down and jam. If you limit the processor frequency to 99% in the energy saving settings, TurboBoost will turn off and overheating will occur many times less often. But when working without games, I did not notice heating and throttling. 4 GB of RAM in Windows 10 is not enough. For Linux, it is higher than the roof, but here is another problem: it often freezes. Android x86 works well too. until it freezes. Looks like the problem is in the Linux 4.x kernel. Details in the Discussion. If you uninstall the preinstalled Dell QuickSet program, the transformer will be problematic to use in non-laptop mode. The keyboard with the touchpad will stop turning off. Reinstalling QuickSet will no longer help. There is no indication. It is impossible to determine whether it is turned on or simply went into sleep mode.

A comment:
The processor speed is 3 times behind my powerful laptop with Core i7. The speed is somewhere on the level of a smartphone with Snapdragon 801. But in general, I had previously assumed that you should not count on more for this money. In general, I am satisfied with this device. It is great for all my tasks. especially after I installed SSD and 8 GB of RAM.

Advantages:
Inexpensive, made kind of tight, the keyboard is nice

Disadvantages:
The built-in ten simply incredibly slows down. After disabling Windows search and the defender, it became better, but it still differs slightly in impressions from any single-core celeron. The screen frankly disappointed.

A comment:
The device was bought mainly because of the line “matrix type: IPS” in the description. As a result, it was found that even if it is IPS (which I very much doubt), its viewing angles are even worse than that of ordinary TN. Especially depressing vertical angles ?? a simple tilt of the head slightly down leads the picture to negative (and by the way, does negative happen at all on IPS?), and it was not possible to find the viewing angle at which the screen illumination is uniform.

Advantages:
Lightweight, fast, good screen

A comment:
Decent model. A good screen, it works smartly, the keyboard is successful (hands quickly got used to it). The buttons in Windows are uncomfortable. often hurt, and the laptop turns off. I thought to work under Windows a month before the New Year holidays, but gave up on the third day and installed Ubuntu. Windows has tired me of its updates, lags and brakes out of the blue. Under Ubunta, it works perfectly, like many Dell laptops (in some cases, even more convenient than in Windows), a little touch-up is finished. and will be even better than the pre-installed system.

Advantages:
a good laptop is pleasant for simple work, copes well with simple games, working with office programs, it even pulls the installation of photos ands, how the tablet is convenient and easy, it’s difficult to get used to it at first, if you update the drivers the touchpad is easily blocked, one of the easiest all analogues, easy to hold in 1 hand

Disadvantages:
It does not always immediately show the on-screen keyboard, but a couple of extra clicks does not interfere, sometimes it is not visible what you are typing (there is no hint on t9 above the keyboard in phones), that’s what really doesn’t work for. a glare screen, and really small viewing angles, the two of us can’t watch a movie anymore, the battery is also not very large, it really lasts for 3-4 hours.

A comment:
this is a real analogue of a laptop in 25000r, it does not cause problems and complaints, it does not work fast but is very stable, the preinstalled version of win is bad. I recommend changing, I would advise you to get an external battery and a cover, a laptop cover. glossy plastic (easy to scratch)

Advantages:
Lightweight, 360-degree touch screen (nearly). The ability to install SSD and increase RAM. Long battery life.

Disadvantages:
There are no indicators. Not at all. neither charging nor turning on. When listening to music and watching movies, the sound is constantly jamming (the chipset cannot exchange data). Lack of LAN connector, lack of 802.11ac 5GHz

A comment:
Light model for viewing mail and working with documents. You can listen to music only with complete inactivity on the part of the user. There is an auto-rotation of the screen depending on the position (like phones), but the keyboard and touchpad are not blocked, accidental clicks are possible. The lack of a network port is somewhat inconvenient when the WIFI speed is weak or unstable. If desired, it is possible to replace the WIFI bluetooth module with the standard 802.11b / g / n / ac (802.11b / g / n was originally installed). And in my opinion the body and screen soiled to greasy and sweaty hands. When the headphones are connected, the microphone is muted. because the connector is combined, according to skype in the headphones do not talk, only a headset with a microphone or without it. Sound in skype. read above. Immediately after the purchase, I replaced the HDD with an SSD, I think to replace the wifi module. An approximate result: it’s not a tablet, but also not a laptop.
