    My first Dell laptop’s driver had a total meltdown a little over one year after I purchased it. I am very pleased with this one, though. It’s great for my online college courses, easy to transport, streams video well, and finds WiFi spots better than my phone. My only issue is the one USB port, It could use a second. Overall I recommend this, especially for students and travelers.

    I basically use this as a second more portable (and totable) laptop. It’s lightweight design makes it easy for travel. Cute design, although I wish they had it in different colors during the Cyber Monday sale. All hey had was the royal blue or Mali blue. Great battery life and NOT super slow as the reviews said. Windows 10 is not a problem for me. Overall, a great choice!

    I bought the laptop over Black Friday (2017), and it has turned out well. I have this Laptop, and then another more powerful Laptop, so I end up using the compactable laptop once or twice every 2 days, and....I love it. It has been great so far, and I have no complaints. Turned out to be the exact computer I was looking for.

    This laptop was a gift for my daughter and she was thrilled. I was, at first, taken back by the small size but my daughter loves it. The keyboard is full size and the screen is plenty big for the work she wants to do. Very slick and modern look, very portable and light weight for travel.

    Great starter computer for my 4th grader. It’s light weight and has a smaller screen. Not much of a big memory or processor but she uses it only for her school projects. And she’s in love with the bright blue color. I went on amazon and bought the matching color wireless mouse

    So far this laptop is doing a great job. Had geek squad remove all excess programs and ended up with 11 gb of free space. Since then I have added a few programs, including one to play blu ray discs. Now only have 6 gb of free space. Hope this enough when widows updates.

    a great little laptop that speedy, (the 4 gigs of RAM helps). With a full version of Windows 10 that makes it a great laptop to own. I love the size and weight because you can take it anywhere. Battery life on it is the best, I've had it 2 weeks and only charged it twice. If you get rid of all the apps that were Dell's and some you really don't need, then you're probably have a little under half hard drive space. I inserted a 64 gig memory card in to have about 77 gigs of free space. I love the fact that you can download all the apps to the memory card!! I'm glad I got this instead of the Chromebook!!

    I see this as a beginner laptop. I feel it can be used for browsing purpose. It is slow, but not irritating. You get what you pay for. For the price, it is fine.

    Perfect for School/College

    This laptop is a perfect contender for a school/college laptop. It is lightweight, has a very long battery, is snappy (when added software is removed, at least), and can do everything you ask of it within reason very well. This is not a gaming laptop, but it is great for word/google docs/slideshows/spreadsheets/email/browsing. I bought it as a gift for my girlfriend, and she is loving having her very own laptop! The color is especially nice (I love the detail on the Dell logo being a different blue than the outer shell). I did get this on a flash sale for $130, however. A steal when at such a low price!

    My sister is a traveling physician's assistant and i thought this would suit her purposes. She already has to carry substantial weight in her medical bag and needed something light and functional; which this laptop actually is, it's just too slow for her needs.

    I purchased this laptop more than 3 months ago and have used it practically daily since. I needed something small and durable I could drop in a diaper bag...this fit the bill. Out of the box the thing was snail slow, but once I removed all the unnecessary bloatware, this pretty little computer picked up speed! Its close in size to a 10 inch tablet so I have no issues carrying it with me everywhere. The camera quality & microphone are nice so I have no issues when video chatting. And my battery power is still strong after 3 months of multi-houred daily use.

    Bought this as a Christmas present for my 7 year old daughter but Santa has not delivered it yet so cannot provide an adequate review, Having said this, it's tough to beat a 4GB / 32 GB machine for $139. Will update after unpacked.

    You get what you pay for with this little laptop. It's not blazing fast, and don't expect to run multiple apps at the same time. That said, it works really well for my elementary school kids. Would definitely recommend!
