Is anyone else unhappy with their inspiron 15 7000?
I bought my inspiron 15 7000 in November 2018 and ive had nothing but problems with it. it struggles to run basic programs and often crashes ive contacted support about it numerous times only to be told to send it in and for them to only replace the battery in it with no change on the actual problems I sent it in for. ive upgraded the RAM in it done a clean install of windows formatted the drives upgraded the drives etc etc and it still doesnt perform anybetter!
Ive never had a laptop that is as bad as this.... in fact my old hp pavilion runs everything significantly better and for the price ive paid im seriously unhappy with it. I as wondering if anyone else feels the same about theirs or if ive just got really unlucky?

Well, you haven't posted what your actual hardware is. CPU GPU RAM hard drive/SSD posting your actual full model number helps some of us will that the time to go look up your specification for you. There are many variations of the inspection 15" 7000
If yours has a I3 CPU and Onboard graphics, 4GB or less of RAM and hard drives with no SSD to run your OS on it is going to be slow, compared to a I7 8GB or more Ram and Discreet GPU, And SSD's is going to be very fast

8GB of ram - upgraded to 16 then returned back to 8gb after minimal performance increase
500gb ssd

Well figure out what you have and get back to us.
You can find the model number of your Dell laptop on the laptop identification label on the bottom of the computer, on the boot screen, in the Windows System Information utility, or by visiting the Dell support website.
On Dell Desktops, the Dell Service Tag sticker is probably located on the back of the computer case, but can also be located on the top or side of the system. Windows users can detect the service tag automatically with SupportAssist.

When you upgraded to 16 GB, was that an additional module that you installed?
8 GB should be more than enough memory for the next 5 or more years, that is, if the computer is going to be mostly used for internet, productivity & light multitasking*. However, I would reinstall the additional 8 GB module (assuming that you have a free slot available) as this enables dual-channel memory access, which can help improve system performance.
*If you open task manager, click on more details & select the performance tab, you can view how much memory is being used.
