I would never buy a Dell again. It overheats when uploading files to the cloud, so I cannot leave unattended.
My last computer was an HP which lasted over 16 years.

Laptop restarted several times after it ran into a problem and needed to restart. That's just while transferring data. There are a few other glitches that I'm not happy about. I cannot recommend this laptop.

Don't waste your time with this computer. I bought it and it was broken. Dell customer care has very short hours and the repair or replacement times are always eight days at the earliest.
