    My husband desperately needed a new laptop. He is a Sunday School teacher and he could not download the new programs anymore. This laptop has the memory he needs and is up to date. It is so much faster than his old one. He is very happy with this lap top and would recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade. Definitely in my price range, we think it was really worth it.

    I bought this for my elder father. He needed a basic machine as his was slow and clunky. The salesperson told me this was faster. It was difficult to test that at the store. The start-up takes at least 2 minutes. Access to Internet sites takes at least a minute - even with the highest speed modems. We clear cache and cookies - believe me, this is a machine to stay away from. I am so disappointed that I was in such a hurry that I trusted the salesperson and the Dell name. I wish I would have splurge for a Mac or at least an X1

    I was in the market for a computer that would just allow me to do basic stuff. Found this and it is fulfilling what I need at present. There are occasions where it is slow during start up (been that way since setting it up, but then again I was only looking for something minimal). The fan does work over-time though.

      Audra,

      We're glad to hear that your computer is working well for you. We'd recommend limiting the number of programs that launch at startup if you are experiencing a slow startup speed. Here are the steps to do this:

      1. Close all open windows.
      2. Press CTRL + Shift + ESC key together on the keyboard.
      3. In the Task Manager window, click Startup tab.
      4. Select the program or application that you want to disable from loading during startup.
      5. Right-click and select Disable.
      6. Repeat Step 4 & 5 for all the programs or applications that you want to disable from loading during startup.
      7. Restart your PC.

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

      We hope this helps your startup run smoother for you.

      Best,
