The size does allow for things like the removable battery and the optical drive, which are hardly seen in laptops anymore. Those two features are some of the reasons why I chose this model over others.
Carrying the Inspiron 15 around was relatively easy to do with one hand, but opening it with only one hand was a different story. It takes an awful lot of effort to open the lid and is definitely a two handed operation. I guess you could look on the bright side and feel confident it will never drift open while carrying it around. It’s weird that they made a hinge that takes so much force to open but still manages to wobble when touching the touchscreen. I feel like this laptop can take a few drops though, which I can hardly say for many other laptops. Maybe that is what they were aiming for over the user experience.
