Had to upgrade the memory straight away. After that my 9 year old has had no issues so far with it. Perfect for YouTube and school websites.

I was surprised to find a Dell Windows 10 laptop at the very low price of the Inspiron 14. Even more surprised to discover that its low price included a free one year subscription to Windows 365 with Microsoft Office, including Microsoft Word. This laptop, with Microsoft Office, provides a college student and most home users with everything they need in a "light duty" laptop computer. This version of the Inspiron 14 has just a tiny 2gb of RAM and solid state storage of 32gb of which 8gb is available to store your apps, games, videos, music and photos. This is the bare minimum amount of memory needed to run Windows 10 and Microsoft Office. There is a slot to add a full size SD card, so you can add a 32gb Class 10 SD card for about $20 which will expand your available memory to about 40gb, enough for your Spotify music collection and a few movies. The Inspiron 14 has a 14 inch screen with good color and contrast. The 14 inch screen is a good size both for typing a document and for watching a movie. Netflix movies sound okay through the dual front speakers and sound great with good headphones or with a bluetooth speaker. The body is compact, with an outer shell that screams "cheap". However, the build quality is terrific. The hinges hold the screen at your chosen angle, the battery snaps securely in place, and the keyboard is has a crisp, precise feels. The Inspiron is very light, weighing only about four pounds, including the power pack and cord. Its compact size and light weight makes it ideal for lugging around campus. Battery life is impressive. If a student is taking notes, with wifi and bluetooth OFF, the Inspiron will provide six or seven hours at a bright screen setting and eight or nine hours at a medium setting. Streaming Netflix movies over wifi with a bright screen setting provides four or five hours of battery life. It recharges from zero to 100% in about two hours. My Inspiron included a free one year subscription to Windows 365 with Microsoft Office, including Microsoft Word, a $70 savings compared with other laptops. The first Inspiron that I took home had a defective trackpad. A Best Buy associate suggested I exchange it for a second unit. My second Inspiron has been terrific. It took about two days connected to wifi to download and install an endless series of updates to Windows 10. The Inspiron worked very slowly and froze up at times during that updates process. After the updates were complete, the Inspiron worked very smoothly. I am still learning Windows 10. The trackpad moves the cursor around the screen when using one finger and two fingers scrolls the page up and down, or zooms in or zooms out on text. It takes practice to learn those gestures. This is a LIGHT DUTY laptop for taking notes in class, sending email and watching a movie on Netflix. It lacks both the memory and the muscle to play demanding games, run three or four apps at a time, or use Photo Shop to edit photos and videos. The Edge browser slows down if you have more than two or three tabs open at a time. If you need a Windows 10 laptop with Microsoft Office for light duty use, you will not find a better value than the Inspiron 14 from Best Buy.

I purchased this for my husband and he's very pleased with it and the fact that Office was included in it.

It looks nice and works great. I bought 5 of them for my students and they love it. I wish i can buy more

great computer for the price. if looking for something to take care of basic needs this will do the trick

This computer is not for doing high-end graphic design work, programs like Microsoft office would be pushing the limits also illustrator Photoshop and in design would be a little bit too much for this computer to handle, but for a college student using Microsoft Word and Microsoft Outlook this computer will work just fine especially for homework assignments where you may use the Internet for research and word processing assignments.

I got this laptop for a great deal and it's doing the job only for school work for my daughter don't use it for nothing else much. Froze on us once have had it for a month works fine !

The Dell computer is a great one for people that are computer illiterate like I am and was a great deal

It is easy to use, and has a good display. Easy to learn from.

Good unit for use for automotive software not much storage though.

This is the worst laptop I have ever had. It came loaded with so much advertising material that I was unable to use it for its intended purpose. It runs slow due to this. Worst ever!

great inexpensive product for my daughter to use for homework.

Needed a low cost, light weight laptop for travel- fits the bill

Good for elderly person. Easy to use. Good price. No issues.

This computer is good for the price. If you want more pay more.
