    I knew this would be a very basic computer, but it actually performs well on the internet. I added a SD card to increase the storage spaced. Happy that it was 4GB ram

    My wife and kids use this for browsing the internet or doing homework. With the addition of a HD it is a good value for the money. Nothing fancy though, just gets the job done.

      Hi jimmymist,

      We appreciate your feedback. If you'd like to free up some space on your computer we'd recommend checking your installed programs and make sure that you plan to use all of them. Here are some tips on removing software: Uninstalling or removing software or applications that you do not use or do not need from your PC can help speed up your PC. Applications may include background processes, system services, context menu entries and other things that can slow down your PC.

      Uninstall applications you no longer need using Programs and Features (previously called Add/Remove Programs). Unnecessary applications occupy space on your hard disk drive.

      1. Press the Windows logo key + R on the keyboard.
      2. In the Run dialog box, type appwiz.cpl and press the Enter key.
      3. In the list, select a program and click Uninstall.

      You can read the full article here - http://dell.to/2tSulGV.

      We'd also recommend using Microsoft's OneDrive to store some files in the cloud. We hope this helps your computer perform better for you.

      Best,
      Bryan

    I purchased this because it already had Microsoft office on it to which most other lower priced laptops did not. Dell is a reliable company and I am familiar with how they generally operate. This was within my budget and especially since it was a quick purchase to replace an old desktop. I needed a computer that could do what I needed it to without delay and major issues (like my old one). After explaining my needs to the very helpful associate I was led to this perfect (for me) little laptop.
