    Inexpensive Way to have a computer

    I was a little disappointed with this computer. I've had Dell computer and have always been happy with them but this is a little too bare bones for me. I wish I could have received a little help setting it up(that I didn't have to pay for) I'm still struggling trying to teach myself how it works. Would that still be possible? I'd like someone who is familiar with Windows10 to clear what I've done and start over. I do feel once it gets set up right it will be a good computer at a reasonable price.

    I found this Dell in a 'Open Box" section marked down to 228.00. I Took it home and immediately added a SSD more RAM and for less than 300.00 I have a darn good laptop!

    I work from home and needed a new computer QUICK!!! I'm embarrassed to say that my only criteria was price (very reasonable), and availability. I've been extremely happy. If I would have to say anything negative, it would be that it's heavier than I expected, but I don't carry it everywhere with me so that doesn't matter to me.

    For the price of this laptop you really can't beat it. It has everything that you need, enough USB drives, CD/DVD drive, HDMI, Etc. Processor speed is fast enough to handle the basics and some minor gaming, again the price dictates this will not be the best computer you e ever bought, but it will handle all your basic needs.

    So far no problems with this computer. Processor is somewhat slower than I would like but for the money it's definitely a great value. Would recommend this for anyone doing school or work that doesn't require gaming or other tasks requiring fast processor.

    We had a DEL Inspiron 5050 for about 5 years before it had some issues. I think the issue is more of a software or virus problem but figured it was time for a new Laptop. Picked up the Inspiron 15.6 Laptop - Intel Core I3 and so far so good. Only thing we haven't liked so much is Window 10, but we're getting used to it.

    I really enjoy this Laptop. It has enough memory and processing power for my work and entertainment. It comes installed with Windows 10, which is very easy to use and organize my files and applications. It also comes with a CD drive that can play, rip, and burn CDs and DVDs. Very satisfied with this laptop computer.

    The BEST BUY salesperson at the Harrison St. store in San Francisco, CA, Ludvig, found for me the DELL laptop I was looking for and gave an excellent price. Ludvig is an eXcellent sales person in that he meets the needs of the customer and makes a sale for BEST BUY. My DELL Inspiron 5.6 laptop is working fine.

    Good laptop for basic needs such as email and word processing programs. Battery life could be better but the charging cord is long so it's not to inconvenient.

    I've had the laptop for a few months now without any problems. Windows 10 in some ways I feel is a step backwards in terms of being less user-friendly than 7.
