Question 1

If I wanted to do some light gaming, like an occasional game of minecraft would this work?

Accepted Answer

On the model with the Pentium 3556U (1.70GHz) processor, yes, you can play Minecraft. You will need to play on lower settings and it can get sluggish as it loads new areas, but I found it to be playable. You can play some other stuff as well, like Terraria, and some other light stuff off of Steam. I successfully (and shockingly) got Skyrim working on it, however it was very choppy and not what I'd consider playable. (Although Morrowind runs fine on it! :)

Question 2

Does the Inspiron 11 have a backlit keyboard?

Accepted Answer

NO

ITS NOT THE PLACE BUT I WONT TO LET YOU KNEW THAT THE TOUCHPAD IS VERY BAD

Question 3

Does this computer have a webcam?

Accepted Answer

Screen is great. But keyboad and track point are less convenience. For the budget, it is ok.

Question 4

Does this model include a battery charger?

Also, what are the physical dimensions so I can find out if I need a new carrying case?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it includes the charger.  I would say the measurements are 30 x 20 x 2 centimeters.

Question 5

What is the typical battery life? Can the battery be replaced? Thanks in advance!

Hi, Battery life has been 5 to 6 hours on a full charge. Battery can be replaced but is internal and bottom will have to be removed. Has been excellent notebook so far. Pentium processer is a big up grade over previous. Been a great buy for me.

Question 8

What is the speed like? I'm looking for a small laptop or ultrabook to stream videos and also do some photo-editing on the the Adobe Cloud. Can this little laptop handle that well?

Accepted Answer

Speed seems respectable and, based on the benchmarks online (of the processor) and my own usage of the device, the speed appears to be comparable to the Core 2 Duo processors of the mid-to-high-end laptops of 2009-2010, but with the latest instructions/code/features and MUCH better battery life.

Question 9

This dell 11 inspiron 11 i3137-5003sLV has in the picture, a RJ-45 port.  Is that correct?  Also the battery is built in the computer, not detachable correct?

Accepted Answer

It does have an RJ45 port yes, it folds down slightly once connected, but works very nicely. Not sure on the battery as I bought it and sold it to a customer.
