    I bought this computer for my daughter for college. She loves everything but indicated the its too wide and wished the keyboard was smaller. She loves the touchscreen!!

    Awesome 1TB space. One thing I'm not crazy about the laptop is a bit slow. Other than that it completes all my laptop needs.

    Works fine for most needs, not a gaming computer. Not crazy about the bundled software since the office suite is online instead of resident on the hard drive though.

    This was my mom's first laptop purchase and it has been a great laptop. She loves the option of using the keyboard or the touch screen. It is easy to use and navigate. Great computer for the money.

    Not Happy At All

    I thought I wanted a Dell touch screen laptop so I bought this one. I play games at times and it would not play my favorite game. The store is about 2 hours from home but I took it back in a couple days and their Tech Guy told me it was because I had not updated the programming. So he did it while I was there. Still no luck. So they exchanged it. That evening, the new one did the same thing. So I took it back the next day, same results in the store. I was once again told it was my fault. They were going to exchange it again but when another new one right out of the box failed to work, I switched to a Non touch screen, another brand. I took it home and it works fine. If you want a good laptop, but want to play games, don't get this one. And don't count on the "Geek Squad" to help you out. They want to blame you for a laptop not working, even though 3 of them didn't work, it was still my fault that every one they pulled out of the box was bad. Nothing was said about my inconvenience of driving so many trips to get something corrected, they didn't care about that, not their issue.

    Have to say this is a beast of a machine. Got it on an open box deal and no regrets so far. I actually swept it up in the middle of the night from the Union square store which I have to say is a techy's dream - a 24 hour electronics store. For those midnight projects that need a boost of life this is your place.

    Touch screen is a nice feature

    I am a former Windows 7 user, so this new program is a bit confusing with the app screen. It took me about a day to get accustomed to it. I find whenever I get stuck on a screen that if I swipe from the right hand side of the screen, it brings me the options to get back to the app page. From there I can get back to my desktop. I'm surprised it's not as user friendly as I had hoped it would be. Also, the app page uses Windows apps, not Android, so some of the normal apps I use on my phone are not an option for this computer.

    This laptop is good enough for a student. Will browse internet pretty quickly and can run Microsoft Office but not much else. My major complaint is that the number 2 key is stuck somehow. Took it to Best Buy Geek Squad and they told me that I would need to contact Dell. Dell told me that I would need to send it to them and that I would receive it fixed in 7-21 business days. Glad I don't need it for day to day business.

    For a first timer I would say . Go to Best buy and let the sales people help they really did for me. Also get the geek squad for 24/7 support. They are so helpful and do not make you feel like a idiot.. I love my Dell and the touch screen is the best. Thanks Annie O'Bryan.
