This computer is more or less fine- apart from the atrocious WiFi range! I was 1 room apart from our router and had zero signal. It worked ok when I was sitting right next to it, but come on! I had read a review from another person that had bought this and they suggested buying a USB WiFi adapter and it helps some, but it still only works in the next room about 75% of the time. I do not recommend unless you are just using it for the bare minimum.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

AmyC,
Thanks for your review and we're sorry to hear about the WIFI range on your new laptop. Here are some connectivity tips that you can try:
1. Download and install the latest Wireless Card driver. (https://dell.to/2th3Tpe) After updating the driver, re-establish the connection with the Wireless Access Point and check the wireless performance. 2. If the issue persists, proceed to step 3. 3. Power-cycle the local network. Shut down the Dell system, the Wireless Access Point/Router and the Modem. Wait a minimum of 60 seconds before powering up the components in the following order: 4. Power ON the Modem, and wait for it to boot fully. 5. Power ON the Wireless Access Point/Router, and wait for it to boot fully. 6. Power ON the Dell system. 7. Open Network and Sharing Center 8. In the left side navigation pane, click on Change Adapter Settings 9. Right click on the wireless connection icon and select Properties followed by the Configure button 10. Under Wireless Options, select the Wireless N mode 11. For Windows 8 or later systems click the Advanced tab and look for 802.11n Mode on the right you will be given the option to Enable or Disable. If the mode is not visible you may need to update your drivers and firmware. 12. From the drop-down menu, choose Disable followed by Ok 13. This should restore the wireless download and upload speed. Internet speed can be tested at http://speedtest.net.

After my last PC stopped working (most likely from an update) I wasn't able to get a PC for a long time and finally decided to get this one.

I've owned Dell laptops for the last 20 years. I'm not too thrilled with this purchase. The mousepad is not accurate with taps/clicks involving the right/left mouse buttons. The keyboard does not seem to respond appropriately and have to press keys several times e.g. "enter" key and power.

mcomd,
Thanks for your review and we're sorry about the issues that you've been having so far. We'd recommend re-calibrating your touchpad to see if this helps the issues that you're having: Some Notebooks and Tablets with Keyboards have added gesture features to the touchpad hardware and drivers. A few of these features are two or three finger scrolling, pinch zoom, circle zoom, rotate and swiping. These new features may be the reason for the erratic cursor movement since most are turned on by default. You can disable or modify the way the features work in the touchpad driver properties. Here are some tips to modify these settings:
1. In the Search box, type main.cpl. 2. Touch or click main.cpl in the list of programs. 3. Touch or click the Dell Touchpad tab. 4. Touch or click on the picture of the touchpad. 5. Touch or click Gestures (depending on your computer there may not be a Gestures option). 6. Change the options as preferred. 7. Touch or click Save. 8. Touch or click the X in the upper-right corner to close the Dell Touchpad Utility. 9. Touch or click OK on the Mouse Properties window. 10. If the touchpad still does not work after following the preceding steps, refer to Dell Knowledge Base article - http://dell.to/2iaiujA.
