Staples® carries the notebooks in various sizes and with different specs to meet your computing needs.

Dell Notebooks Come in All Sizes
When it comes to notebooks, size is important. Dell Notebooks range in size from 10 inches to 17.3 inches. Screen sizes under 13 inches offer the most portability, making them ideal for users who frequently take their device on the go. Large models work well for gaming, media streaming, or viewing documents side by side. These are also a better choice for users who keep their notebook at home or work. Buyers should also look at the weight as lightweight ones are easier to carry around.

Dell Notebook Processors Get the Job Done
Dell notebooks commonly have Intel® Core® processors, though the exact series varies depending on the model. For heavy-duty applications such as gaming, graphic designing, and video use, Core i7® processors get the job done. This series can handle demanding applications and serious multitasking. Core i3® processors are suitable for everyday tasks such as emailing and basic internet browsing. The i5®, the most common, has enough power to keep up with most tasks including media streaming. Intel's Pentium® and Celeron® processors are adequate for internet and productivity tasks that do not require fast speeds.

Dell Notebooks Have Sufficient Memory and Quality Operating Systems
When it comes to a notebook, the memory helps determine how the processor tackles multiple tasks at one time. Ranging from 2GB to 32GB, memory also plays a part in how fast the system runs. For basic use, a model with 4GB of RAM is sufficient but for gaming, photo edits, and streaming media, more RAM is optimal.

Notebooks often come with the Windows® operating system. It is easy to navigate and is pre-loaded with apps. Dell also has a version that is a Chromebook™ and these have an Android™ operating system, similar to that of a smartphone.

What Is a 2-in-1 Dell Notebook?
A 2-in-1 notebook combines the portability of a tablet with the power and features of a laptop. This device has a large display and ample storage, yet it has a slim design. Removing the keyboard turns the notebook into a tablet and users can take advantage of the touchscreen display.

How Many Ports Do Dell Notebooks Have?
Generally, notebooks have two or more USB ports. These ports can charge phones and connect devices such as printers and external drives. Most also have an HDMI port for connecting the notebook to a TV.

What Type of Battery Does a Dell Notebook Use?
Dell Notebooks typically have lithium-ion batteries, though the exact size and specifications vary. The average life for one of the batteries is usually around three hours and a full charge takes around 75 minutes.
