    I purchased this laptop simply to run Quicken. (I have a Mac and the Quicken program for Mac is not compressive enough for my use.) The Dell laptop is sufficient however slow. I'm glad this is not my "main" computer.

    Easy for a 10 year old to navigate and use. Had to buy a wireless mouse, because they had trouble using the mouse pad on laptop.

    Good computer at a great deal, all said and done with 2 years protection plan and antivirus for under $500. Touch screen was a plus. It seems like the device could be fickle. In the first week, we had slow opening times for simple files.All told though, great deal.

    Needed a decent but lower end laptop. Didn't want a touch screen at first but it's come in pretty handy and am glad I got it.

    It's a bargain price for a touch-screen, so I couldn't resist. It really does a lot, but it doesn't do it very well. The keyboard, for example, is a disaster. I have used laptops for years and never encountered one that I couldn't type on. It misses almost every 'm' I type, because the keyboard is recessed and therefore vague, with little tactile feedback. Looks cool, works lousy. They system bogs down routinely, and get hung often apparently doing intense disk accesses. Also, I hate Windows 8, but that's a different subject. This one looks good on paper, but does not perform well.

    Good replacement laptop for one that died. Freezes occasionally, but that might be my internet. Good big screen. My one pet peeve is that the mouse makes a loud click and sometimes is a bit stubborn (so I have to press hard, and get the loud click).

    Shopped around. Skeptical and lacking tech skills. Andy is the reason I bought this product and accessories. First win, no upsell. I stayed. Second win, he listened to my description of needs. I stayed. Third win: Patient explanation of use of product in language that bridged the tech gap. I bought the Dell because of the best buy associate's knowledge of the product. Thank you, Andy in Folsom, Ca. I love my Inspiron and printer. You were right, I did it myself!

    The laptop is a great little machine. A disappointment I have with it is that it is lacking indicators showing hard-drive running or that its connected to external power. I would have given it 5 stars if these LED'so were incorporated.

    This computer delivers everything claimed in the advertisement. Interesting to find that the computer did not have a VGA port...so we had to buy an adapter to use our projector.

    Took a while for him to switch his thinking from windows 7 to 8. He couldn't get the downloads that ew bundled to download - kept asking him to pay. It is at best buy right now removing malware and getting what is bundled.
