Great computer for scrapbooking.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Use for a second computer to print labels for scrap books and photo albums. Short on memory, but this doesn't matter as we use flash drives for the different projects.
I would recommend this to a friendFaulty machine
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this device on sale for $129. Got to my boyfriend's house, did the set up, connected to WiFi. Worked fine the entire weekend at his house. Got to my house, connected to my WiFi, connection would drop every 30 minutes to an hour and no matter what i tried, tue status would still say "connected, no internet" so i would keep end up having to restart. After about a week of this, i finally told myself that I'm going to return this crap. The day i was going to return it, i noticed a few scratches on it, which kind of discouraged me because i didn't want to return it damaged. So next thing you know, that same evening, it stayed connected and has been doing so up until now so I'm happy about that. The other thing it's been doing since i bought it is when I'm watching a video, the screen goes black and it starts to show like a jigsaw puzzle, then it shows normal again. And then the other day the battery died and i had a hard time getting the device to turn on. I will be getting in touch with Dell to request a new device be sent to me because there's a reason i don't buy refurbished items..... I don't need the head ache. Thanks

We're sorry that your computer is overheating on you. We'd recommend the following tips to keep your computer cooler:
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.
