I can safely say now that Dell's naming/numbering scheme doesn't matter and doesn't indicate the quality one can expect from the hierarchy.
I used to think for consumer line:
3000 series - budget/entry level
5000 - mid-range/mainstream
7000 - upper mid-range/ premium
9000 - high-end.
Well the 9000 is XPS so that one stays true. The 3000 you can bet on the cheapness.
But the Mid-range is always a wait and see what dell throws in or removes and swaps between the 5000 and 7000 series. In this case, this 7035 acts more like a 3000 imo with horrible screen and build with no options. 8gb soldered - really? If someone wanted a one time/purpose use laptop then the 3000 series should be for that.
Dell should do away with the numbering system that is perceived to be hierarchical in quality

8GB of Ram/Memory no longer cuts it even on non gaming machines. 16GB should be the standard on all Laptops now and going forward

The Inspiron 14 7435 2-in-1 retails for half the price of many popular alternatives with 360-degree hinges. There are cut corners along the way, of course, but casual home users or students likely won't mind many of the missing features.
