    For the price, it's worth it. Takes a little to boot up, especially with anti-virus. Screen is ok to watch a movie, if nothing else. Get what you pay for.

    Got this on sale for $280 plus a bonus of $25 of points for using my Best Buy credit card. This computer is excellent for the price. I did install additional memory to bump it up to 8 gb. That was a major pain in the butt but worth it in my opinion.

    I am replacing an 8 yr old computer that was slow and way out of date. The new model is so much faster. Its great for what it is intended, surfing, email and the occasional report or spreadsheet. It was easy to set up, configure my settings and go.

    I was looking for a good laptop computer for basic uses such as finances, web browsing, and writing documents. It performs very well and it was very well worth the price. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a laptop that preforms the basics.

    It's middle of the line for sure but I got a good deal and paid under $275 for it. It's definitely worth more and its great for basic use (I'm not an aerospace engineering major or anything). The mouse pad has a bit of a lag especially when running a lot of programs but that was easily fixed with a $15 external mouse. I definitely got what I paid for and then some.

    I bought this laptop to get me through the waiting time for parts for my desktop. It was easy to put Linux on it after I found out how to disable the stupid locks in the bios, because I have no use for fail10. This laptop does as good as it can with it's specs. I find it totally acceptable. Unless you need a powerhouse for video manipulation this laptop should work great for you. I gave only 4 stars due to the fact that prices are still TOO high.

    My 8 year old HP had finally died and I went to get another HP laptop. But for the money, this Dell was a much better buy. I have been very pleased with its performance and features, especially the 1TB hard drive, all for under $400.
