While its simplistic design is visually appealing, the build quality is just not there. The base cracks and squeaks every time you twist it, which is definitely not a sign of attention to detail and structural rigidity.
Dell Latitude 15 3520's IPS panel has a Full HD resolution, comfortable viewing angles, and a good contrast ratio. Unfortunately, it covers only 53% of the sRGB color gamut, and it uses relatively low-frequency PWM up to 89 nits. Thankfully, the more sensitive users can take advantage of our Health-Guard profile, which completely eliminates the issue.
This seems like the Kohl's advertising model: Produce an inflated retail price to make the savings seem monumental. Last time I went to Kohl's I bought a pair of shoes and 3 t-shirts. I saved over $200! Not really, Kohl's just has exaggerated "MSRP" prices..
I find 250 nits is about all the brightness I can handle in doors. I have a 400 nits brightness ASUS proart professional monitor and it's max brightness I can handle is 55% bright. So this is a cheap in doors laptop. But if it's 250, I bet you can find a better laptop for less money on eBay that's also refurbished as well.
Yea, the screen is junk but the processor is fast so I figure the audience is to run this headless or with an external display. If that's not you, then move on. Else, would easily handle the highest 4k content with zero dropped frames and wickedly advance through your collection with no lag. Desktop configuration of the same would cost you far more.

Right... $789 retail? Not with that screen

Don't forget 220nits which might end up even less in some areas of the screen since they usually take it on average
What is max ram that could be installed?
How many ssd slots?
