    Perhaps I expected too much, but I thought this laptop would perform a bit better than my old desktop. It doesn't. I'm not a gamer, I just window shop and watch movies. Very slow to load a page, problems with page freezing up, not unusual for a movie to be interrupted due to buffering. I'm keeping it, but I don't recommend it at all.

      Hello Ziggy,

      We're sorry to hear about the slowness and the freezing that you're experiencing. We'd recommend that you diagnose the freezing with the following steps:

      1. Run a Computer Diagnostic. To determine if your computer is experiencing a hardware problem, run the Dell Preboot System Assessment (PSA) Diagnostics. For information on how to run Diagnostics, and to determine the issue, refer to Dell Knowledge Base Article: http://dell.to/2iaiujA.
      2. Check Safe Mode for Symptoms. To boot into safe mode, please follow the instructions below:
      a) Start the computer.
      b) Tap 'F8' on the keyboard immediately and every one second until the Dell logo screen disappears. From there you will see the Windows Advanced Options Menu on the screen. (If the Windows Advanced Options Menu does not appear, restart the system and try again.)
      c) Select Safe mode with Networking and press Enter.
      d) Log on as the administrator or as a user with administrative access.
      e) Open applications and test the computer in safe mode. If the symptoms exist in safe mode, please continue the troubleshooting steps in this article. If the symptoms do not exist in safe mode, the issue is likely related to a driver or software and you may wish to complete steps 6 to see if you are able to resolve the lockups or freezing.
      6. Check for Malware. Malware (Virus, Spyware, etc.) can definitely cause a Windows system to lock up or appear to hang. To check for malware on your system and to ensure that your computer is up to date on security software, visit Dell Knowledge Base Article: http://dell.to/2wWP1zI.

      You can read the full article here - http://dell.to/2tW5m33.

      If you'd like to see if your computer can run faster for you, you can run the Windows Performance Troubleshooter:

      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.

    I purchased this unit to use with my Brother Embroidery Software, which has not gone so well. This system gets hung up when trying to load Windows 10, I have to restarted it multiple times before the desk top loads. There is also a lag time when typing and the mouse pad has to be pressed multiple times before it responds

      DeeH,

      We're sorry to hear that this computer is not meeting all of your needs. We'd recommend re-calibrating the touchpad on your computer so that it responds better: 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.

    This has been a really good computer. No complaints. Love that is has power, hard drive, charging and networking LED lights. A lot of the laptops are omitting the LED indicators. My dad has the big brother model with Intel processor. The only really noticeable speed difference is boot up and when you have a really heavy processor intensive application running.
