    Don't bother buying this computer

    I bought this computer for my daughter, who wanted a small, basic computer to do back functions such as word processing for school papers. The computer seemed to work well until we had it about 3 to 4 weeks, at which time the wifi was not connecting consistently. (Other devices worked consistently well on the wifi network, so the problem was with this device.) I spoke to someone at my local Best Buy store who said a return was not possible (even if the item was defective) because it was not within the 15-day return window. According to her, my options were to take up the problem with Dell or schedule a $200 appointment with the Geek Squad who may or may not be able to solve the problem. I do not recommend this device, and I am sorely disappointed in Best Buy's customer service and policies.

      tiresias - We can understand your frustration with your new computer and the WIFI connection. We'd recommend that you check to make sure that your WIFI driver is up to date on your computer here - http://dell.to/2ka8KDS. We'd also recommend the following steps:
      1. Run the Network Troubleshooter.
      a) Touch and hold or right-click the network icon (Available Networks or Network Icon, located in the lower right-hand corner).
      b) Touch or click Troubleshoot problems and then follow the prompts.

    After purchasing I started to get this updated with Microsoft patches and pretty much filled the hard drive up with just updates. The hard drive is too small to even handle the operating system.

      Hi MovieFan, Thanks for your review and for your feedback. It's possible that you could remove some of the pre-installed software on your computer to free up some space if you don't plan to use all of the programs that came with your computer. Here's a video for the removal process - http://bit.ly/2ALK0IH. We hope this helps you to free up some of the space that you may need. - Bryan Dell

    Slow even for the limited stuff I use it for. It was cheap so I guess I can't complain that it feels cheap. But I haven't had any technical problems and works good just slow.
