Good 2-in-1 laptop let down by a too dark screen.

The 4700U appears to be a popular choice for budget laptops and with good reason. It offers performance that is superior to the best Intel has to offer at 15 watts and only marginally slower than the 4800U.

Inspiron is Dell's budget version of the XPS series. Given that the Inspiron 7000 easily outperforms the Dell XPS 13, there had to be some downside. As it turns out, it is a screen that is very dim, at only about 220 nits, which means it is almost unusable in bright environments and quite a bit below the recommended 300nits minimum.
