Dell Vostro 3400 14 inches FHD Display Laptop (Intel i5-1135G7/8GB/512GB SSD/Integrated Graphics/Windows 10 + MSO/Black) D552184WIN9BE, 1.59Kg

To begin with, the Intel 11th Gen chips on its 10nm process is the biggest upgrade intel has rocked in more than half a decade. While each generation has a modest 5% improvement over the previous, the 11th Gen. Laptop chips are more to the order of 20% (something for which AMD is to be thanked more than Intel!)This processor is the fastest* you can (currently) have in a laptop (*except the Apple's M1, which is a different beast altogether, if you know what you're dealing with). Even the same generation i7 has such a small margin of improvement over this one, that one might excuse it for being statistically insignificant.Nonetheless, with that settled in, raises the important question:WHY IS THIS LAPTOP SO AWFULLY SLOW?The question is.. very, very valid. Just check the other reviews. This laptop lags more than my 7 year old desktop. And the reason, for the failure of this laptop with TOTL processor & DDR4 memory & latest Xe graphics..No points for guessing, it uses a hard disk. Yes, that thing bottlenecks *so* *bad*. It's awful. It's unusable. While the processor can crunch numbers like Turing's second awakening, the hard disk takes you back to the 20th century. The first day I received it, I was tearing my hair, drank myself to sleep, sobbing over all the decisions I had made in life that led to this moment.But to the rescue comes the most wondrous invention of the 21st century besides TikTok: The NVMe SSD. This butch laptop of ours has an empty M.2 NVMe slot; same as its more expensive variants, just that they come with this slot non-empty. Long story short, I upgraded to an NVMe and installed my OS of choice (hey, Windows folks, that OS will forever be a bottleneck), and this is the fastest PC I've ever laid my hands on. (maybe because I never got hold of an M1 macbook, but nonetheless..)tl;dr: do yourself a favor and upgrade to an NVMe SSD, they're cheap these days. Or spend double the difference to get the upgraded model. In any case, it's literally a millenia of difference. Without it, this shackled beast will only remind you of the good ole' 20th century days.

I have purchased a Dell Vostro laptop with MS office installed. I have tried to use office but it does not allow me to use it and asks for a key. Can you provide me the key to be able to use MS office.

Getting overheat for normal use in less time. After using 10 to 15 it's getting overheat without connecting charger also.

Don’t even think to buy this. All the good reviews given are of another laptop. Its supplier is sending the other customer’s returned laptop. Its totally second hand laptop.They provided an old used laptop. Laptop is not even have a battery life of 2 hours. And also from day one it was getting hang every time you can’t do anything on laptop not even browsing. You can only do one task at a time and that is possible if Laptop working superbly. Fan noise is so irritating you can’t avoid this. Battery drain you can count on finger like 3..2..1..dead. Don’t waste your time. You won’t find its actual review orher than this.Don’t buy it seriously it is far far worst than your expectations. I returned it after 2 weeks after so many communication. Don’t waste your money.

It's awesome, one small issues only , battery suddenly low...

Started using the laptop. For now it looks good.
