Dell Inspiron 7460 Cons

Here are the few things which we didn’t like on this Dell Notebook.

• Glossy Display screen: This notebook has glossy screen. As a result of it,  it is difficult to use in outdoor. Even in indoors where light source is behind, it is little difficult to read on this screen.
• No optical drive.
• Low Sound output: Sound via speakers are decent. But if you are looking for good audio experience, it is better to use external speakers.
