Dell Inspiron 11.6 Laptop i3162-0000BLU - Intel Celeron, 2GB Memory, 32GB eMMC Flash Memory, Bali Blue 2

The plastics-clad ultraportable with a chiclet-style keyboard and single-piece touchpad is based on the Intel Celeron N3050 dual-core processor. You can read a review describing its performance here. In short, the Celeron N3050 can handle only the basic tasks without much effort and slowdowns. Since the main memory size is only 2GB, seamless multitasking is limited to only a few apps or web pages opened at the same time. 32GB of Flash memory-based eMMC storage isn’t designed to carry your huge movie and music libraries, but it enables normal functioning of preinstalled Windows 10 Home operating system. Users have around 15GB free space for their files, since Windows occupies the rest.

Furthermore, the notebook features a pair of speakers, a 0.9MP 720p web camera, 802.11ac Wi-Fi wireless, Bluetooth, one USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0 port, HDMI video output, a microphone / headphones port, and a multi-in-one media card reader.

The Dell Inspiron i3162-0000BLU has a 32 WHr battery. Dell says it enables a battery life of “up to 9.5 hours”.
