Background
The Dell Inspiron 13 5379 2-in-1 is a laptop made by Dell that came out in 2017 as part of the Inspiron 5000 series. It was made for everyday users, such as students, workers, and people using a computer at home. It can be used for things like browsing the internet, writing papers, watching videos, and doing school or work assignments. The laptop has a 13.3-inch touchscreen and a 360-degree hinge, which lets users fold the screen back and use it as a tablet. It comes with an 8th-generation Intel Core i5 or i7 processor, Intel UHD Graphics 620, up to 16 GB of RAM, and different storage options. Other features include USB ports, HDMI, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, an HD webcam, and a 42 Wh battery.
When it first came out, the starting price in the United States was around $749.99, depending on the version. It was sold through Dell and other retailers, but the exact number of units made or sold and the official date it was discontinued are not publicly known. One thing that made this laptop stand out was its combination of decent performance and a flexible design at a reasonable price. It improved on the older Dell Inspiron 13 5378 mainly by adding newer Intel processors while keeping a similar overall design. Later models, such as the Inspiron 13 7386 and 7390, brought newer hardware and other improvements.
Reviews praised the laptop for its everyday performance, touchscreen, and ability to switch between laptop and tablet modes. However, some users and reviewers were unhappy with the screen brightness, glare, battery life, and weight when using it as a tablet. Some owners also reported problems with the hinges, cooling fan, and battery as the laptop aged, but these reports do not prove that the problems affected most devices. No confirmed recall specifically for this model was identified in the sources reviewed. The laptop was sold in different markets, although available configurations varied by country. Overall, the Dell Inspiron 13 5379 was designed for everyday computing rather than heavy gaming or demanding graphics work.
