    This computer is definitely not built for long term use. It freezes when connecting to the internet. I am very unhappy with this computer and when you install software it takes a long time.

    This item started out great then after about 3 weeks lost certain programs during an interrupted update and made me so frustrated I smashed it to pieces and now have a $300 paperweight.

    This laptop was the slowest I have ever used. I returned it after 3 weeks because it could only run using one application at a time or it would freeze and not respond.

    Returned the Dell back and exchanged it for an HP ENVY. Dell was too heavy and it was just like buying an empty box and Dell service was horrible.

    Very slow, though I was told to spend the extra on this one for faster speed. You move the curser and it will open up anything you pause by.
