Vostro 3590 :Pl remove this series
I had to buy a laptop.Finding that all inspiron series in range 55k-125k has onboard rams,i realized that there is nothing i could purchase from dell.Somewhat,i checked this vostro 3590 and considering that it has one ram slot ,still with heavy heart i ordered this laptop.I knew it has a plastic build and a weak design and still i have to pay INR 60k for nothing better offering.
Yesterday afternoon this laptop reaches my door.I opened it to setup.The quality was much below than even i expected.Laptop had a back shoe kind of design overall with very fragile plastic. Bezels were big and was fitting so loose to cover screen as if you can puncture it well with naked fingers and touch it internals. Design and degree of comfort working in this laptop was way down experience.Screen looked like as if a transparent slide has been pasted using a fevicol.Bezels was found weaker than cardboard.All the more if you lift this laptop mistakenly with even a single finger on screen ,you may hear a cracking sound.
Somehow i made it setup competely.Display experience looked very bad.I installed all possible drivers from Dell website.Nothing improved.I played 4k videos and at once realized the weakness of display.This offering to a customer when he pay you 60000 INR ?.Sorry it took me absolutely 5 years to attain this much salary.Today it has this kind of return ?
I need a 100% refund from dell and a promise to remove this total series from sale to a customer.Remove all onboard soldered RAMs laptops too.I am surprised to check an inspiron laptop costing 1150000 INR and still using onboard ram.

Looks like you have two weeks (14 days) to return the system to Dell for a refund minus the 15% restocking charge (you did read that before ordering so you understood your responsibility, correct)?

It's a cheap, low-end system - you get inexpensive build, design compromises, and low-end components in exchange, just as you don't get Lexus features when you buy a Toyota Yaris.

Still ignoring your point,touching your business series.Currently my laptop is Dell Lattitude 3480 which my company has given me.Till date i believed it to be a worst quality laptop with nearly same kinds of flaws i listed for this one.
Now even i leave business series and i come to Inspiron home series.Kindly dont say buy XPS series as it is for those guys who have money to throw to you .Believe me i work with accenture and still could not afford it.
Every inspiron laptop costing even greater than 100000 INR has an onboard ram intentionally soldered to reduce life expectancy,make monitors/bodies more and more fragile,what to pick here??.Even this inspiron series was affordable to me.I could have spend 10k more. You just name one laptop and condition is that it must be a home series laptop which you think a customer can purchase in 2020 and i will get back to you why you should not ?.Still i will say buying vostro 3590 current one goes a much ahead decision.Though it has another side of cons.Only as a customer still its wise because such companies must be given lower sales.Next time i will not even buy a new laptop of Dell l.I will better check sites of some refurbished ones.

I work with Accenture.If i assume spending 60k is for a cheap laptop then 4 times of this price gets you a new car.
My office laptop is Dell lattitude 3480 plagued with same flaws as have been listed above.
Kindly suggest which laptop one can purchase from Dell and provided it must be a home series laptop ?.All of your Inspiron use soldered rams to cut costs on materials,make them slim,fragile and reduce life expectancy.
I am waiting for this answer.Please dont say XPS series.I work with accenture and still could not afford same.

@AdityaSharma2020 I second your thoughts. Got myself a vostro 3490 this january for 44k with core i5, overall look & feel is pathetic and I wasn't expecting it to be this bad. There is no power LED; how did such a thing get even designed. I recently installed M2 NVME SSD & found that SSD heat dissipation brackets are not present in India spec model but are present overseas. Keyboard & speakers are horrible, the HDMI port is wobbling a bit.
Just to be on safer side I purchased 3 years warranty with it and as it appears the laptop wouldn't really last post that. All in all, purchase is made now & lets live with it, no other option.

I am a student and I cannot afford expensive laptops. I recently bought an I3 Laptop from this series (Vostro 3590). Its like "Open 4 to 6 files together, I will hang and you should wait till your patience drain". If your gonna release a version and call it "budget laptop" then it should save us and not make us regret our decision! I am not even from the technological side and still find this model worthless. Improve it's update, provide us some support! If you cannot justify the standard of your model, please don't release it in the market and for god's sake don't advertise it!
P.S: @ejn63 My father is not Bill Gates too, so we can afford only less expensive laptops. Expecting Lexus features in a Yaris is foolishness but expecting Yaris to protect it's brand name 'Toyota' is not foolishness, I guess.

You've illustrated my point perfectly. It's common knowledge that you won't get a 6-second zero to sixty time from a Yaris, but you will from a Lexus; the price of the car tells you that.
The price of an entry-level notebook means you compromise on performance in exactly the same way.
If your performance needs exceed that of entry-level and you can't afford a suitable notebook, there's still a way: buy a desktop. You still get much better performance out of an entry-level desktop than you do out of an entry level notebook.

@ejn63
Thank you so much for your valuable suggestion. Unfortunately, I cannot carry my desktop wherever I go! So, I chose notebook for a reason! I did use entry-level laptops of Lenovo, HP World earlier but never did I face any problems immediately after purchase. Maybe, my choice of the brand was wrong as I thought Dell is superior to other brands, which it clearly isn't.
P.S: God's willing in the future, Maybe, I will buy an 'Audi' and clearly not 'Lexus' (I have lost my faith in 'Toyota', bcoz if their entry-level product can be this , I can imagine how their luxury models will be!) and hence, you will not hear me complaining about budget ' cars' !
