Dell Inspiron 11 3000 Review

Convertible notebooks are all the rage these days, providing users with multiple forms of portability,
which is very nifty, especially when you want to use the same device for both work and play. The only downside is, more often than not, these devices cost quite a bit of money. Dell however appears to have a solution that allows users to have one of these convertibles at a price that does not break the wallet, with the Dell Inspiron 11 3000. Despite being clad in a polycarbonate chassis, the Inspiron 11 3000 is one sturdy notebook. It looks and feels sturdy, which is something of a rarity these days, even
amongst devices that are priced higher than this one.



Powered by a 2.4GHz Intel Pentium processor, with 4GB of RAM and 500GBs of storage space. As far as connectivity is concerned, the Inspiron 11 3000 is equipped with three USB ports, two of which are USB 2.0, one USB 3.0, one HDMI port and one SD card reader. As an added extra, it also has Bluetooth 4.0 capabilities, allowing users to connect to Bluetooth-capable devices. At first glance, the Inspiron 11 3000 looks like your ordinary notebook, but the 11.6-inch 1,366 x 768 resolution display can be folded all the way back to turn the notebook device into a tablet.

The keyboard is disabled so that it does not interfere with the operating system while it’s in full touch screen mode. As far as performance goes, the Inspiron 11 3000 does a well enough job dealing with tasks such as word processing, programming and such. Web browsing is a relative breeze as well, although one downside is that you may need to wait a bit for programs and software to start up. Once they’re up and running however, the usage experience is quite smooth, with the notebook even capable of playing 1080p videos with not much issues.



Two things that impressed us about the Inspiron 11 3000 is that its display has a very vibrant colours, even when viewed from various angles. The other thing is the battery life, which lasts for the better part of seven hours, which is amazing in its own right. You no longer have to worry about leaving the charging brick behind if you have this thing fully charged.

Verdict

If you’re looking for an inexpensive ultraconvertible, the Dell Inspiron 11 3000 is your best bet at getting one. It also comes in an i3 variant if you need something that packs a bit more power.
