    Great affordable laptop for everyday use. Not recommended for gaming or graphics intense application. Plenty of HD storage, with a quick i3 processor. Can't go wrong for a laptop under $400

    Not really what I was expecting. I’m not an expert at computers, but I needed something to replace my lap top that was stolen. This one is slow, takes a long time to power up. It gets most simple jobs done, but freezes up when multi tasking.

      Olga, We're so sorry to hear about your last laptop that was stolen from you. We're glad that you chose a Dell laptop as a replacement and we hope that we can help with the issues that you've been facing. If you'd like help with the slowness on your computer we'd recommend the following:
      Delete temporary files and directories
      1. Click Start, then in the search bar type "disk". Disk Cleanup should appear on the menu above the search box.
      2. Run disk cleanup and eliminate unneeded temporary files (Search results, Internet Cache and other windows temp files you may no longer need)
      3. Select files you want to delete then click OK to start the cleanup process. Uninstall applications you no longer use 1. Open the Programs and Features application in Control Panel. 2. Scan the list of applications installed for ones that you no longer use. 3. Highlight any application you no longer use and then click the uninstall button at the top of the list. Follow the prompts to uninstall.
      4. Repeat for each application you want to uninstall.
      5. Move large files and/or seldom used files to backup media (Photos, Music you seldom listen to, application downloads after the application has been installed etc.).
      6. Empty the Recycle Bin.
      You can read the full article here - http://dell.to/2tSulGV.
      If your computer continues to freeze on you we'd recommend these steps:
      1. Run a Computer Diagnostic. To determine if your computer is experiencing a hardware problem, run the Dell Preboot System Assessment (PSA) Diagnostics. For information on how to run Diagnostics, and to determine the issue, refer to Dell Knowledge Base Article: http://dell.to/2iaiujA.
      2. Check Safe Mode for Symptoms. To boot into safe mode, please follow the instructions below: 1) Start the computer. 2) Tap 'F8' on the keyboard immediately and every one second until the Dell logo screen disappears. From there you will see the Windows Advanced Options Menu on the screen. (If the Windows Advanced Options Menu does not appear, restart the system and try again.) 3) Select Safe mode with Networking and press Enter. 4) Log on as the administrator or as a user with administrative access. 5) Open applications and test the computer in safe mode. If the symptoms exist in safe mode, please continue the troubleshooting steps in this article. If the symptoms do not exist in safe mode, the issue is likely related to a driver or software and you may wish to complete steps 6 and 7 to see if you are able to resolve the lock ups or freezing.
      3. Check for Malware. Malware (Virus, Spyware, etc.) can definitely cause a Windows system to lock up or appear to hang. To check for malware on your system and to ensure that your computer is up to date on security software, visit Dell Knowledge Base Article: http://dell.to/2wWP1zI.

      We hope that these tips will help your computer run better for you. - Bryan Dell

    Great Computer, does all I need and I got a great price on it too. Only thing I didn't like was the mouse pad. But now that I'm used to it, which took about a week, I love my new Dell laptop!

    This I3 works better than my old I5 which was great! Very low price and functionality is wonderful. It's not as quick as an i-7 but it cost almost 1000 less... Very tight and well built. Video is great, camera is terrific. I thought long and hard before i went budget here, but even though its only 3 months, i feel reasonably comfortable this is a long term good deal --
