    Its a great simple laptop for web surfing HOWEVER I purchased it from the clearance section...less than 14 days of purchasing it, the sound went out. Took it to geek squad for repairs (they shipped it out FREE of charge) tracked my progress online. It needs internal work. But it was shipped they said it was detected and couldn't hold a charge...Hoping it works great when they ship it back to me

      1BossLady2018,

      We're happy to hear that support was able to work on your computer. We'd recommend the following tips to help with your battery life once you get your computer back:

      Change the Power Plan:

      1. On the notification area of the taskbar, right-click the Battery icon.
      2. On the options list, click Power Options.
      3. Select a power plan on the battery meter, such as Power Saver or Balanced. Windows 10 has a built in 'Battery Saver' mode that can be activated to extend your system's battery life. The Battery Saver mode will monitor and limit background activity and other features such as push notifications. You do have the option to enable or disable this mode within settings or within advanced Battery Saver settings, you can customize the mode to best suit your needs.

      a) Click on the Action Center icon in the taskbar and select the tile for Battery Saver.
      b) If running Cortana then type Battery Saver into the search box and select from the results.
      Within the Battery Saver settings page, you will be able to turn on and off the feature and customize the feature to best meet your needs.
      c) Turn Battery Saver On or Off.
      d) Additional settings available via the Battery use and Battery saver settings links.
      e) Battery use shows further info on apps and their power usage.
      f) Battery Saver Settings screen allows you to customize further Battery Saver feature.

      We hope that your computer performs the way you intended it to when it is returned to you.

      Best,

    I may be a little biased as I used to work (many years ago) as a Dell reseller but I did so mainly because I really believed in the quality of the products. I have always had great experiences with every Dell product I have used. This was for a specific project I was working on and it more than met my needs. It has now been donated to someone who needed it even more than I did, once my project was finished.

    I needed an inexpensive, small laptop for traveling and this fit the bill. Coming with OFFICE 365 was another perk. Computer is OK for basic use, however it is slow and the battery has an extremely short life of maybe 3 hours, compared to my almost 3 year old, very inexpensive acre laptop with a battery life of close to 10 hours. A decent, inexpensive computer for basic needs.
