I bought the computer in June, and for 2 months things were fine. Then I got a pop-up from Dell on Tuesday telling me to click for an update, which I did, and now my laptop is in a loop, won't boot, and is basically a paperweight now. The worst thing is Dell's "support," which is a JOKE. I followed the instructions they gave me exactly, and nothing has been fixed and they have not helped me fix anything. I blew almost $600 on this junk. I should have stayed with HP. Dell NEVER again!

I bought the computer as an upgrade to my existing HP Pavilion laptop. First, this is a quiet computer that doesn't get hot (unlike the HP). I am able to surf the web, watch videos, and general everyday use computing on it that meets my needs. 1 TB of storage is great. RAM is excellent. WIndows 10 came installed and I haven't had any issues with it. FLAWS: The only issue I've had is updating the BIOS (Dell issue). When I update the BIOS per Dell, I have to reset the BIOS to look for the internal drive. It's a simple fix, but I shouldn't have to do it. The other one is that I need to let the computer "load" all of the background stuff before I open an application, especially with iTunes, but I think that is more of an iTunes issue than a Dell issue. If you are a Linux person, I think this would be an excellent computer to install Linux. I used a flash copy of Linux Mint and everything seemed to work well. All in all, a great computer and would recommend the purchase.

I was in the market for a new laptop, not just any laptop but one that I can see myself utilizing for years to come. Everything electronic I purchase through Best Buy. I've always wanted a backlit keyboard now I finally have one. The i5 runs everything perfectly. They only reason I give it a 4 is because the "F keys (f1 f2 ect) don't seem to be working when I try to use it for brightness. But since I bought extra warranty for it, I'll just take it in and they'll fix it. I would definitely recommend this. Great price compared to others.
