Terrible design
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted a small, light laptop only to run 1 work program and surf the internet on. I thought this computer was perfect and in the beginning it was. But as soon as the first Windows update happened, I ran into problems. It didn’t have enough memory or space to even complete the most basic updates even though I had nothing saved on the hard drive. I tried multiple times and could not figure out how to update it is even though I followed all the directions and it ran slower and slower. Best Buy said they couldn’t help and the computer was poorly designed. When I called Dell customer service they walked me through it but it literally took 6 hours on the phone to complete and involved me uninstalling Windows completely and then reinstalling it using a flash drive and another computer. That sort of worked but it is still so slow at times I can’t perform basic functions. Now I’m shopping for a new computer and I barely had this one for 1 year. Why would they create a computer that can’t even perform basic updates?? Definitely not worth it!

Not enough built in memory
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn't realize how low the memory was. I have issues every time the operating system needs to be updated. I basically have to delete everything. And there is no way to add more memory to the actual unit. I was able to increase memory with a SD card and USB that I leave in it permanently. That allows me to do basic updates without issues but for major updates I still have issues. Other than that it works well.

It did the job
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted a small cheap laptop to take on vacation for the sole purpose of backing up pictures. Would have been nice if it was slightly smaller like a small ipad, but I needed USB ports, and it did the job

Great small laptop.
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is amazing value for the price for surfing the internet a light tasks. A Micro-SD card is most definitely needed as the device only had about 16GB free space out of 32GB as the operating system does take up the rest of the space. It's good to have 4GB of RAM. I've been using Windows tablets with 2GB RAM and 32GB storage for year. This is essentially the same but in laptop format. Best to install all your programs/data on the Micro-SD card and leave he built in storage for Windows Only.

Dell Inspiron laptop
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Small laptop with not much storage. Had to uninstall some Office applications to give some room to add a couple of needed apps. Otherwise, it works well, does pretty much all I need it to do.

Great for Travel
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My husband and I went to Disneyland and he wanted a laptop that was easy to use at the airport and also on the plane with the ability to balance our spending tabs with Excel when we were on vacation. He loves it and had no complaints. It just works and also came with 1 year of office as promised. 4GB of ram and the processing solution is effective enough for basic stuff. No gaming on this but it's not what he got it for.

Not worth the money. One Star
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was truly disappointed with this item. The way it was described, it sounded like an excellent basic computer for my family & I to use just for surfing the web, music, pictures & the such (we dont game)... But after saving only a few photo albums & normal things such as this, weve ran out of memory & dont even have enough room to do a system clean & restart... and this happened after less than 2 months!! I really tried to like this item, and now Ive finally gave in & will be checking my warranty and probably returning it. I contacted Support, just got a "thank you." So wrong. Granted, I got it on a sale for a pretty good price... but still, wasnt worth it. We even grabbed a disc to add more space and it has YET to help. Dont waste your time like I did. Get something better. Even for a basic user this laptop isnt worth it. Granted im not a tech genius, so I dont know if theres some "trick" or whatever Im not getting -- but i feel i shouldnt have to. This was NOT what we wanted.

Posted .BeeKyKy2,
We're sorry to hear about the troubles that your new computer has given you. One thing that many of our customers have found useful is to look through your programs to make sure there aren't any pre-installed programs that you do not plan to use that can be removed. Here's a list of programs to consider removing if you do not plan to use them: https://dell.to/2JruiaG.
Here are the steps to remove programs: 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 hope that by doing this that you will free up space on your computer. We'd also recommend storing files in the cloud with Microsoft's OneDrive so that you can free up more space.
Best,
Bryan
