    It’s not the most ideal if you’re used to using a regular laptop for work but this one is a good starter laptop for students.

    This product was a good buy; however I could never use Microsoft word or excel. Apparently the software was supposed to be pre-installed but wasn't so had to return item. Unfortunately, the sale was over and the cost was higher. Will purchase later in the year.

      Buy1,

      We're sorry to hear about the troubles that you had with your Microsoft Office trial. If you have this same issue when you re-purchase your computer later this year we'd recommend that you reach out to Microsoft's Product Support Team here: http://bit.ly/2KBOM4c.

    Mistake to buy this, not worth the price- most of the memory taken up by the operating system, thought it would be good for the kids for homework, This is good if all you do is search the internet and do not have any games downloaded.

      MonaMia,

      We're sorry to hear that your computer is heating up more than you'd like it to. We'd recommend the following tips to help your computer stay cool:

      Tips for Proper Usage:

      1. Dell does not recommend placing portable systems directly on your lap. Due to reductions in the thickness of modern portable systems, heat transfer can be an issue.
      2. Using a portable system (Laptop) on a hard, flat, non-cloth surface will increase airflow and reduce heat from underneath and inside the system.
      Using the portable system on a blanket, pillow, or other types of cloth will cover up the fan cause the computer to overheat and can cause permanent damage.
      3. It is recommended to use the portable system in a Room temperature of 0°C to 35°C (32°F to 95°F) with a Humidity level no greater than 90%.
      4. Use compressed air to clean the vents on a regular basis.
      5. Using a cooling pad can decrease heat and increase performance.
      6. If you want to know the temperature limitations for your system, go to the Dell Support Website, look up your system model then open the user guide under the manuals link.

      Hi Karina,

      Thanks for your review. We'd recommend that you sign up for Microsoft's OneDrive so that your files can also be stored in the cloud and hopefully free up some space on your computer. We hope this helps your storage concerns with your new Dell laptop.

      Mell,

      Thanks for your review and we're sorry to hear that your computer does not have enough memory for you. We'd recommend using Microsoft's One Drive to store some of your files in the cloud.
