    The machine runs OK for normal activity like internet browsing or email, but 4GB memory is not enough if you have multiple applications running.

    I buy a lot of computers for my home and office, this one was for my child. Not happy, too small and slow speed. Better deal to buy full size laptop on sale.

      EdyShaps,

      We're sorry that this new computer is performing slower than you'd like it to. We'd recommend running the Windows Performance Troubleshooter to see if there's anything you can improve with your computer:

      1. Close all open windows.
      2. Press the Windows logo key + X key on the keyboard.
      3. Click Control Panel.
      4. Click System and Security.
      5. Under Security and Maintenance, select Troubleshoot common problems.
      6. Under System and Security, click Run maintenance tasks.
      7. Follow the on-screen instructions and prompts to complete the process.
      8. Restart the PC.

      You can read the full article here - http://dell.to/2tSulGV.

      We hope this helps your computer perform better for you.

      Best,
      Bryan

    Horrible Device

    Really poorly designed device - trackpad barely works and computer is extremely bulky. Opening and closing screen is not seamless. Computer feels very cheap.

      Some Notebooks and Tablets with Keyboards have added gesture features to the touchpad hardware and drivers. A few of these features are two or three finger scrolling, pinch zoom, circle zoom, rotate and swiping. These new features may be the reason for the erratic cursor movement since most are turned on by default. You can disable or modify the way the features work in the touchpad driver properties. Here are some tips to modify these settings: 1. In the Search box, type main.cpl. 2. Touch or click main.cpl in the list of programs. 3. Touch or click the Dell Touchpad tab. 4. Touch or click on the picture of the touchpad. 5. Touch or click Gestures (depending on your computer there may not be a Gestures option). 6. Change the options as preferred. 7. Touch or click Save. 8. Touch or click the X in the upper-right corner to close the Dell Touchpad Utility. 9. Touch or click OK on the Mouse Properties window. 10. If the touchpad still does not work after following the preceding steps, refer to Dell Knowledge Base article - http://dell.to/2iaiujA. - Chris Dell
