My wife and I each got Dell Inspiron i3 3543 Touchscreen laptops last July. We've been very happy with them. I imagine the i5 is even nicer.
My Inspiron runs quiet and cool. I've not seen any defects or weakness in build quality.
If you don't need CAD or intensive photo/video edit, I think the Inspiron series is a great productivity unit.
FWIW, we got Signature Edition models from Microsoft online. I think that is a great way to go. I'm just tired of stripping bloat off new systems and I didn't have to go through that this time around and I really appreciated it.
