I primarily bought this small laptop because it included Office 365, which I was needing to resubscribe to, and for not much more I got an extra small laptop too. I haven't used it too much and I wouldn't want to rely on this a my main laptop. It's just good to have around as a spare or a travel companion for light use.

HD is small, but can't beat the price. Just enough room to load the software I need. I am using a 128G mem stick for the data & photos. Touch pad works well and I'm very happy with the overall operation on the computer. This is primarily for use when I'm traveling, so I don't need a lot. Just the right size for the pocket in my carry on suitcase.

Good, affordable laptop for basic use such as emailing, microsoft office work, and light media streaming. Bought this for travelling for work since I don't want to carry my more expensive microsfot surface around.

I purchased this laptop for use while travelling/vacationing. It allows me to access the internet using the motel WiFi. Having no large-capacity internal hard drive limits file storage. I inserted a 32 GB SD card to increase the internal memory. This laptop does everything I need while away from home.

Bought this for travel. I don't like to leave valuables/electronics in a car/Rv. There are other small and lighter laptops but I didn't want to spend a lot. I just needed to do some part time cloud based work occasionally through my phone's hotspot. Works fine for that. Fits in my backpack with my camera, wallet etc.

I got it because it was small it featured what I needed to write my papers for college. It is lightweight so it’s not too haeavy to carry daily if needed and it is easy to use. I have enjoyed using it over the last few months.

Nice laptop, except the 32 gb eMMC drive and 4 gb memory. Not able to do Windows updates. Other than this, nice laptop. Good for a student maybe. Dell dropped the ball on this one. Needs a solid state 1tb drive, or even 500gb. The 32 gigs just is not enough.

Brand response from YourDellTeam

Twsoutherly,
Thanks for your feedback. If you're looking for extra space on your computer we'd suggest looking through any pre-installed programs and make sure that you plan to use any of them. Here are the steps to remove any programs that you do not plan to use:
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.
We hope that this frees up the space that you're looking for.
Best, Bryan 1-800-624-9896

I Purchased this computer for a specific task of my business. Sadly, it wouldn’t work for me in that regard. I needed something with more memory, but I did like this computer for what it does. I would recommend it for beginners, or someone who doesn’t need a lot of memory.

Decent machine and very cheap. Low memory a disadvantage. Dell could not fix problem with Cortona not being able to hear me. Other than memory issues and Cortona problem I would recommend purchase as a second machine for emergencies. Works just as well as I expected it would.

I was looking for a simple laptop for an assisted living facility and this fit the bill not only in the function but in price as well. It is light and thin enough and the screen is decent sized without feeling too small.

The computer works great, it is a little slow with the internet and stuff. But just warning everyone, when the computer came it started up great, but after about a month, and after installing some apps on it, it started running low on memory space. (I only installed 2 apps, Hitfilm express, and window's movie maker.) After checking through the computers storage I found out I only had (when I got it) about 6 out of 32 GB that I could use, and some of the stuff you can't even delete. It is an awesome computer other wise. Battery is good and holds a charge also. And also, when I went to storage settings it says it only had 29.1 GB of memory when it came. Otherwise it was a good buy, just be prepared. :-)

This is a small computer. It’s really more of a tablet in the shape of a laptop. I search the internet and use Microsoft word. The documents get saved to a flash drive. Not for games or saving things too.

This computers performance is limited to web browsing email and YouTube type activities. Of course I knew that going in and it was purchased for a child to do just that. It hasn’t crashed or anything so far.

The only reason that I am giving this 4 stars is because 32 GB is hardly enough to house the operating system and the programs and features from the manufacturer. You will almost instantly need to upgrade the storage

Not the fastest processing but is adequate for basic web browsing and word processing needs. Fairly lightweight and very compact. Hard to beat the price, too!
