This computer has what I was looking for and the price was good. I wish I had the option to add more than 8GB of Ram but I'm happy overall. What I do not like, is that I don't have the ability to scroll down on the side of the mouse pad. That is a huge inconvenience when I want to go through websites!

We are very pleased with the outcome. Quality is a must and this laptop definitely exudes top-notch! The added pleasure is the price! I purchased the item for my grandson and it has been a blessing in allowing him to fulfill required expectations, to say the least! I love Best Buy products and will continue to shop here with such exceptional sales and service knowledgeable reps! Thanks for helping us find the perfect item...

We were looking for a computer for a former student. This computer provided all of the specs needed to meet the college's requirements. It has plenty of power to do all word processing and other programs for class as well as some entertainment. It is not suitable for gaming based on the specs.

It is great value for the price. I paid $329.99. It is four years newer then my last laptop. However, my previous laptop had i3. So does this new one but it's slower. I specifically asked my associate if it would be the same speed and he said he thought it would but it would have taken him five minutes to do the research online for me. I have no idea what any of this is to be honest. I could have spent an hour or two on my home computer and do the research and buy the same computer at Amazon but I like the human interaction and I expect the associates to know what they are talking about and to be patient and answer all my questions. It does have more features to make up for it though. Like it plays HD movies and I can listen to sound with the computer plugged in to a monitor without needing external speakers. Overall, I am satisfied because it is a great computer for the price with good picture quality. I would have paid a hundred dollars more for a faster computer than my old one.

I needed a new laptop as my old one of several years died. I picked this up since I have had pretty good luck with Dell products and the 1TB hard drive was intriguing. This laptop was worth the price. Especially for my casual use of it. Its a good device if you are looking for the basics.

I purchased 2 of these laptops for my twin nieces who are in the 8th grade. They had one set up in less than an hour with Microsoft Office and the new Antivirus program. The other laptop had some problems removing McAfee but otherwise it's ready to go too. They played around with them for hours and feel that the computers will be great for school work and playing a few games. One of the girls even watched a movie with no problems. Glad I was able to get 2 laptops that will hopefully take them through high school.

I am pretty hard on laptops. We decided to go with a cheaper one bc I tear through them so quick. I have to say this laptop runs better then my more expensive Dell laptops...with only the occasion to momentarily freeze when I have multiple tabs open, up to twenty at a time. I love it!

The dell inspiron 15 3000 series is definitely a great value PC, bought at a best buy store i was surprised it came with a good intel processor for $300 and enough hard drive space to fit my needs. It is certainty worth the asking price and the most inexpensive than anywhere online.

15" laptop works great for me

I've really enjoyed my 15" Dell laptop. It was a bit of a learning curve to move from Windows 7 to Windows 10 but I'm getting the hang of it. It will take more serious study to take advantage of all the other features I don't currently use. Right now what I'm enjoying the most is the large screen. Its a little large for carrying but very light so it's been worth the trade off. Since I'm frequently mobile with it I found a satchel I already had that's worked out fine. I expect to enjoy it for years to come.

Needed a new machine to replace one that could no longer handle OS upgrades. Main uses are email and internet searches. This does the job. Only complaint - minor - is the touchpad is off-center and takes a bit to get used to if your previous touchpad was in the center.

The laptop has a decent build. On the same level as some that cost a couple hundred more. It's not the fastest computer, but it gets the job done. 3.0 USB and DVD drive are nice to have. 1T hard drive is also good at this price point. Slow and steady wins the race.

For around $250 we pick these guys up for the office. They do decent work for web and word.
Gaming, Graphics, or other intensive activities I'd look elsewhere, but for the basics, it'll do the trick.
On sale good value, not on sale, probably look elsewhere.
