    I've Had Many Dell Computers Before, Desktops, Laptops. But This Is Far The Best I've Seen And use. Easy Set-Up Very Fast For Surfing The Web. I'm So Happy I Bought This Laptop, Also I Was A Little Scared To Get A Laptop With Windows 10. But Now I'm Happy I Did, I love It!!!! And For The Price The Touch Screen Is A Super Plus. Works Great On My WiFi Connection. Happy All The Way, Great Buy I Bought It On Cyber Monday For $ 299.00

    Needed a good computer that was easy to use for my 86 year old father. The Dell Inspiration 15.6 Touch Screen gave me everything I was looking for at a very reasonable price. My father was able to take out of the box and start using immediately. Great value and buy.

    Wide touchscreen is great, along with keyboard (including number panels). Gave it 4 stars because the updates running in the background seem to slow it down; however, it's been useful for simple school projects (powerpoint), etc. We've only had it for a few days so still checking out all of the details - Cortana is a nice feature with Windows 10.

    I got this laptop during Best Buy's Cyber Monday doorbuster specials. For $300, it's a nice basic laptop. It's great for surfing the web. The touchscreen was an added plus for the price.

    Nice Laptop

    This was purchased as a Christmas gift for my wife. It is so far a nice upgrade to the 17" Hewlett Packard she was using, however it would have been nice if the windows 10 operating system was already up to date when we bought it! We have very slow DSL up in northern Wisconsin where we live so I spent two whole days downloading the required updates to the operating system before it could really be used for much of anything. I'm sure that if you had a faster internet provider it wouldn't take nearly as long but it is something to consider.

    bought for elderly relative. I was wary that windows 10 would be an issue but the touch screen eased my concerns as he is used to a tablet but needed to have more internet options. wonderful computer with Dell behind it. I would buy one for myself if I could figure out how to break my 2 year old laptop.

    We only have been using this computer for about a week now. So far, so good. I Bought this computer for my wife when her Apple Macbook, which is 10 years old quit working. This computer is great for surfing the web, multiple widows open, and shopping on the web. She also uses it to check her email. Nice features (touch screen, 1TB hard drive, 6gb RAM), and it appears exceptionally fast for what she's doing with it. The complaints noted on this computer are it is too slow for gaming. This is not a gaming computer!!! The reviews state as such. Anyway, the folks at Best Buy set it up for my wife at no charge, and were awesome to deal with. Thank you Staff and Geek Squad at the Wilkes-Barre Twp. Best Buy for your great customer service.

    Needed a family computer to do everything we needed. Fast processor, with plenty of storage and screen size is perfect. Don’t utilize touch screen feature, but kids like for games and drawing with stylus(not included) has everything you need for basic computing and built in wi fi. We’re very happy with battery life and low noise. Our last laptop sounded like a jet engine.

    Boot up is a little slow, but I am coming from a computer with an SSD drive. Not fond of the lack of power or hard drive activity indicators. With the exception of those two items it is a good machine for the price. Don't care for the McAfee software but that has nothing to do with the computer. It can and will be uninstalled when the trial period is over.

    Good build quality, heavier than I am used to. Touchscreen is responsive and works well. The 7th gen i3 is very underwhelming and surprisingly bogs down. Onboard Speakers are okay. Overall budget friendly, full PC Laptop for the price of a top of the line Chromebook.

    I have had this computer for only a week and am satisfied so far. Set up was good, but it has seemed a little slow doing just simple tasks. I expected more from a new computer. I enjoy the touch screen and it works well.

      Hey Shooter - Thanks for your recent Dell laptop purchase. We're glad to hear that you are satisfied so far. If you'd like to try to speed up your computer a little bit here are some tips: 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.

    This is my third Dell computer. I am very happy with it. It has good features and the price was reasonable. I had another brand that only lasted for 3 years before the battery was no good and the hard drive crashed BUT my Dell before that one is still working. I only replaced the Dell because it had the Vista operating system and since it was no longer supported I decided to upgrade. Bad mistake to switch brands. I am back to Dell and am very happy with my purchase.
