Hello everyone,

I created a video review of the Dell Inspiron 5310. It's an incredibly powerful laptop that's plagued by thermal throttle (but what Dell isn't?).

I made this video primarily because there weren't many reviews that go in-depth on the computer or actually discuss its operation. In the video, I go over my use case, some performance benchmarking, show some thermal throttle scenarios, and pull off the backplate to show its internals.

Please let me know if you have any questions, and please share your own experiences with this machine.

Ordered one and wanted to give some brief impressions for the ones who will / is considering it.

1. It is really small and the screen is really taking almost all the space, bezels are minimal.

2. The screen is bright enough, however uses PMW for dimming and therefore might harm your eyes in the long-term

3. Webcam shutter is good feature, but it is so stiff that you barely can close the cam with it

4. Keyboard is big, but the keys are made of very soft plastic, so the tactile feedback when typing is very strange and unclear. I had an experience with XPS13 in ~2017 and it has the same softy keys. Did not like it at all.

5. The USB-A port is foldable, it is really not easy to stick-in flash drive or the cable. Also hardly you can keep USB receiver for mouse constantly, since when in use it is sticking-out of the laptop body. Not nice.

6. Finally, the laptop came with defect - big blueish spot on the screen visible on the black background - so had to send it back.

Hope these considerations might be of use for somebody who is considering to buy this machine.

I have decided to switch to Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Pro.
