Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Paid for service to download from my computer to a new one from BB. also told them to remove all games and install Firefox...nada nothing done.

NO support or help from Best Buy or Dell!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.has never worked. Impossible to get service or support from BEST BUY or DELL. It seems Best Buy could care less about any customer who does not spend $500 or more on each visit!!! I guess I will just have to buy a new one and hope that is works!
