Was a bit sluggish with factory OS even after removing bloatware. During reimage with Win11 had to download intel disk driver on separate USB and install at the prompt to select disk before the system would detect HD. Also had to use a USB dongle for ethernet connectivity as it did not detect wifi during setup. After reimage and Dell drivers install system runs great.

Same problem with the i5,8 ram version. 2 hours of battery at best. In addition, the device gets hot as hell even while only browsing the net. Already waiting for a response from Dell support whether is it about a faulty device

GMane, Try uninstalling Dell Support Assist software. It causes crashes and overheating.

Can an ethernet card be installed in this model 15 3511 and use a docking station to connect through? I also have a Microsoft Surface 4 that I use a docking station to utilize the ethernet because it is much faster than using wifi.
