On paper this looked terrific. Reality was a different story. My first impression was that it had an appealing design and nice fit and finish. That impression didn't last long. Here are some thoughts I hope help others make the right buying choice for them.LCD DISPLAYThe screen has a nice image but backlight bleeding on my unit was some of the worst I've seen. I worked in the LCD backlight industry and know some level of bleeding is to be expected. This backlight bleed was totally unacceptable and was evident during normal screen usage.I suspect that the unacceptable backlight bleeding is not present in all units produced. However, the shoddy laptop lid is common to all units. The laptop lid is flimsy and flexes easily with any screen position adjustment causing ripples in the LCD. Over the long term, this constant "stress" on the LCD can lead to problems. Overall, not a good design or construction materials for a 2-in-1 where it's expected and encouraged to be routinely rotated about. On the plus side, hinges were tight and appeared sturdy.GENERAL BUILD QUALITYThe laptop body itself is all plastic. I'm OK with that. What's not OK is that it just doesn't feel solid. There's too much flex when you pick it up. Overall I like the understated design but while it looks nice, it just feels cheap.There's something else I observed that while not impacting the function of the laptop, reflects poor workmanship and design. There's a clear plastic adhesive sheet applied to the bottom of the laptop. My best guess is that it's there to protect the bottom from scuffs and scratches. However, it's obvious that the sheet was designed and cut for a smaller sized laptop as the cutout for screws and rubber feet don't align. In fact, it completely covers the center screw on the bottom. This means if you ever want to open up the laptop, you'll need to cut/rip through the protective plastic to remove the screw. If you look close, you can see that a cut out exists for the center screw but it's off by a couple of inches. Overall, just very shoddy and unprofessional.TOUCHPAD & KEYBOARDI don't pay much attention to touchpads. I prefer to use a wireless mouse. However, this touchpad is just bad. In fact it performs on par with the one on my Latitude D620 from 2007. In other words - not very well - despite playing around with numerous settings in Windows. Gestures worked for the most part. Overall, the touchpad feels cheap and is OK in a pinch, but would be a chore to use full time. It also has a painted finish and I wonder how well the finish will hold up over time.There were no major drawbacks to the keyboard. This laptop has half-height keys for "Page Up" and "Page Down". Personally, I prefer full height.WIRELESS CONNECTIVITYI had no issues with wireless connectivity. It connected to my network with no problem and stayed connected. I streamed hours of video and downloaded many GBs of files without issue. I tried several versions of the Intel PROSet/Wireless 3165 WiFi Driver (17.15.05, 18.12.0.3, and 18.32.05). All worked flawlessly.AUDIO ISSUE - PROBABLY SPECIFIC TO MY LAPTOPI believe my laptop had an audio hardware issue. The audio worked correctly when the laptop was powered on from a complete shutdown. But, if you did a "Restart" no audio could be heard from either the laptop speakers or headset jack. The audio came back if you shutdown and then powered back on.The audio issue was the same regardless of the audio driver (i.e, Microsoft Generic or various versions of the Conexant Audio Driver). As an experiment, I installed Windows 8.1 and saw the exact same audio issue so it wasn't unique to Windows 10.SYSTEM RECOVERY OPTIONS - LOTS OF CHOICESI always test out the system recovery options on new computers. In this case, I tried things three different ways:1. I recovered with an ISO download from the Dell support site.2. I recovered with from a recovery USB flash drive I made in Windows 10.3. I installed Windows 10 from scratch using an ISO download from Microsoft (search Google for "microsoft windows 10 iso download") and manually installed the necessary drivers from the Dell support site.They all worked fine but options 1 & 2 took hours. The Dell ISO (downloaded from the Dell support site) install created two desktop shortcuts for the "Korea Media Player Center" and the "Korea Messenger Center". These are apparently required by the Korea government so this tells me that Dell is using a global image for recovery rather than one tailored to a geographic region. It confused me at first because I thought perhaps I incorrectly selected options during recovery.Recovery from the USB device I made left me with two "Unknown" devices in device manager. One went away when I installed the "Intel PROSet/Wireless 3165 Bluetooth Application". The other went away when I reinstalled the "Intel Serial IO Driver. " I say reinstalled because the Device Manager already showed the driver installed. Apparently Windows 10 automatically installs the correct driver for just some of the Serial IO devices.In both cases the recovery took 3+ hours to complete with little intervention from me.By far, the easiest and fastest recovery route was to install Windows 10 from scratch using the ISO download from Microsoft. The entire process from start to finish was about 1 hour which included installing the drivers from the Dell support site.INSTALLATION ISSUES WITH DELL DRIVERS DOWNLOADED FROM DELLAnyone downloading driver files from the Dell support site for this laptop should know that as of (4/19/2016) there is a problem with the files. They do not auto-extract (which they should) during the installation process and generate an error. If you read the installation log, you'll see that it failed to find the setup.exe file. That's because the program never extracts them to the expected location (c:\ProgramData\Dell\) or any location at all for that matter. There's also an option to just Extract the files. This doesn't work either despite the fact that the programs tells you it was successful. All the program did was create an empty folder at the expected location (c:\ProgramData\Dell\). NOTE: The folder c:\ProgramData is hidden. In order to see it within File Explorer you need to check "Hidden items" under "View".I was able to use them by extracting the needed files from the Dell downloads by using a free software program called 7-ZIP. I downloaded the files from Dell on to a USB flash drive. I then used 7-ZIP to extract their contents to the same directory on the USB flash drive. I then installed directly from the USB drive (run the setup.exe file).ONE MORE THINGThis is not unique to Dell but I prefer laptops that have status lights for things like charging, sleep, or hard drive activity. This laptop has an extremely tiny Power/Battery status light that's not readily visible or apparent. There are no visual cues that the system is asleep or powered down. Similarly, there are no visual cues for hard drive activity.FINAL THOUGHTI really can't recommend this laptop, notwithstanding the audio problem I experienced. I just don't think its design and build quality are durable enough for a 2-in-1. Seeing ripples in the LCD whenever you need to adjust the screen position is simply unacceptable. It didn't matter how gingerly you made the adjustment - rippling occurred. Add to that the flex present in the main body and I see this laptop developing issues due to design and material choices over the long term.I 'll take a closer look at the Dell Special Edition of this laptop which I believe has an aluminum body. I'd specifically sought out this version though, because I find the diamond cut (i.e, chamfered) edges to be uncomfortable on the wrists and prone to nicks and scratching from watchbands and the like.
