    I bought this for <$200, This laptop is great for basic web browsing, school work, and day-to-day activities, It can't really handle major gaming and lacks a touchscreen. Its a little slow on sleep recovery as the i3 is a lower voltage processor and needs time to catch up. It'll do what you ask it to do, just don't push it too hard.

    Hard to say anything bad about this super fast light weight computer. Only thing I have a small issue with is with the touchpad... there is no separate left/right click areas... you can actually click on any area of the touch pad... the problem I have is that in the lower areas where the click would normally be located it also can cause the mouse pointer to move. So if you happen to slightly move you finger when you want to click the pointer you can move the pointer off the desired point. I'm getting used to it but with the smaller screen you really need a precision touch pad.

    Had some issues once the initial set up was complete saying that there was a virus. Someone has called our home saying that the computer is infected and they want to help. We have tried calling Best Buy Geek Squad and Customer service and have been on hold forever on several occasions. Not happy with the customer service

    My wife's Toshiba had finally died and it was time for a new one. She needed something just basic for checking emails, and streaming movies and playing facebook games. For the price this laptop was perfect. This is a great PC Laptop with lots of memory. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a similar laptop

    This laptop was at a great price and the family needed a device our high schooler could do homework and projects on. We talked to the Best Buy salesperson and this is the model he recommended. While it is not quite powerful enough for some of the more advanced games, it does a great job for what we need it for.

    We purchased this laptop to replace old dying laptop. It's got the basics which is all we need. The keys are bit different and my thumbs or something keeps hitting the mouse pad while I type. Sometimes it makes the screen enlarged as I'm trying to type which is super annoying. Other than that no complaints!

    The laptop was really easy to set up and personalize according to my needs and it's fast and gets the job done. I had some problems with the audio a month after I got it but I contacted Dell customer care and they sorted the problem out for me very quickly. My only regret is that the laptop is heavy to lug around. But I guess it's a sacrifice I have to make if I wanted to stay within my budget. Overall I'm very pleased with this laptop.

    Good computer for school

    This is a good computer for school. With all the money I've put out on school already, it was at a great price point. Just don't expect the quality of your desktop or a more expensive laptop. Its slow with running just Windows 10 and Office. That's pretty much all I use it for, but it gets the job done.

    purchased mostly for browsing online as well as working with basic documents. It has good storage space and I tend to use it more than my desktop. Screen size is good with fair quality graphics if that is a concern. I don't have major concerns besides the tricky selection of text when using touch pad.

    This is a very good laptop for home and basic office use. Price is very attractive when on sale. . Has a decent i3 processor and 1 TB HD is a plus. I wish it had 8 GB of RAM, after used this for couple of weeks I did notice some slow down in performance. Its nicely built. Battery life seems to be ok.

    If you need a basic laptop that doesn't require dual processors, etc for heaving gaming, video editing etc., but instead just need to get on the internet, do schoolwork and use basic tools -- you cannot find a better laptop for the $. Perfect for the student in your house or as a gift for your folks!

    We needed a laptop to replace our old and dying laptop. This laptop looked like a good value. We actually bought two, one for us and one for the kids. The laptop is made well for the price but feels a bit cheap with the plastic housing. Not a big problem. Come with the standard software package.
