    Laptop overheats

    I like the fit and finish of this laptop, but it overheats when you use it closed clam shell. Read the reviews, other people have had problems with this computer's thermals. I suggest Dell's XPS line of computers...they will probably give you better performance and thermals. Also, the CPU fan failed two weeks after, I purchased this laptop. I took it back and got a MacBook pro.

      Deon,

      Thanks for your review. We're sorry to hear that your computer has been overheating. Here are some tips that will help your computer run at a cooler temperature:

      Tips for Proper Usage:

      1. Dell does not recommend placing portable systems directly on your lap. Due to reductions in the thickness of modern portable systems, heat transfer can be an issue.
      2. Using a portable system (Laptop) on a hard, flat, non-cloth surface will increase airflow and reduce heat from underneath and inside the system.
      Using the portable system on a blanket, pillow, or other types of cloth will cover up the fan cause the computer to overheat and can cause permanent damage.
      3. It is recommended to use the portable system in a Room temperature of 0°C to 35°C (32°F to 95°F) with a Humidity level no greater than 90%.
      4. Use compressed air to clean the vents on a regular basis.
      5. Using a cooling pad can decrease heat and increase performance.
      6. If you want to know the temperature limitations for your system, go to the Dell Support Website, look up your system model then open the user guide under the manuals link.

      You can read the full article here - http://dell.to/2uJ8AdG.

      We're sorry to hear that you decided to return your laptop but we hope that you will consider Dell again in the future.

      Best,
      Bryan

    I'm happy with the product, it is very nice for computer and tablet options since it comes with a pen already. I bought it for home office and it is good enough.

    I got this computer for a huge discount as an open box deal. The computer isn't as fast as it should be and it doesn't cool nearly as well as advertised. That being said it's still a great little laptop!

    Screen flickers, random power offs, overheating, and more overheating. This laptop is amazing when it works properly, but doing something as simple as opening chrome turns this thing into a small jet engine. Screen randomly flickers when I'm watching YouTube then suddenly my laptop goes off for about 2 - 5 minutes. Happens rarely but it's irritating to deal with.

    Got this for the small size and 2 in 1 functionality. Set up went OK but after a week my external drives wouldn't consistently show up, it would occasionally refuse to wake up from sleep mode, and wouldn't start up. These problems persisted even after recovering from my restore thumb drive. Finally gave up on it and returned it to Best Buy.
