      Hi Paul, We know that having a computer with a slow response rate can be frustrating. Here are some tips we'd recommend to help you with your computer slowness:
      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.

    Horrible Computer

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Had this computer for two months before I had to bring it in to Geek Squad for repairs, then another 6 months before having to bring it in again. Mind you, I only use this laptop for schoolwork, so nothing is installed but Microsoft Office and Edge. Once classes ended, I didn't touch it for months. After the year warranty, of course it stopped working. Websites not loading, computer taking 15 minutes to start up. Contacted Dell just t be told there's nothing I can do. Maybe I got a dud, but I had to buy a much better laptop. Save up some more money and avoid this model.

    This device worked fine for the first few months, then it stopped working and would not turn on, I sent it in to dell, they replaced parts on it and I was assured that the product had been tested and was fine. The device then continued to give me problems, it would not stay turned on, it would turn off within a few minutes of being turned on, I have sent it in yet again to which they have assured me that the product will be tested and everything will be replaced, but I am unhappy with the whole process of this and the laptops unreliability.

    I bought this laptop in September to be able to work from home but since December haven't been able to use it. Whenever I attempt to log on it tells me that there's no hard drive installed!!. I tried to reset it with no avail, then I attempted to send it to Dell( with the one year warranty) but was told that I have to return it to Best Buy.. I haven't had time to return it to the store... it sucks!!

      Lesliie,

      Thanks for your review. If you are having trouble starting your computer we'd recommend these steps:

      1. If the computer is displaying the Dell logo and does not move past that point, it has probably failed POST.
      2. If the power indicator lights up and it is amber or orange, this is usually an indicator that it has failed POST.
      3. If you see text on a black screen, the computer is currently performing the POST. If the computer stays in that condition and does not move past it, it has probably failed POST.
      4. If the video screen displayed anything at all during the startup process but is now black, this probably indicates that the computer failed POST.
      5. If the computer is beeping or if Caps/Num/Scroll Locks are flashing, note if there is a particular pattern in which it beeps or flashes.
      6. If the computer is not beeping and caps/num/scroll locks are not flashing, unplug all connections and remove all media communication devices (e.g. external monitors); reconnect one at a time and check if the computer functions.
      7. For a notebook, press and hold the Fn key and then press the power button. This starts the pre-boot testing and will launch ePSA. In case you have a Desktop at the Dell logo screen tap the F12 key to enter One Time Boot Menu and use the arrow keys to highlight Diagnostics and press enter.

      bestguy,

      Thanks for your feedback. If you are still having issues with your touchpad we'd recommend the following tips to re-calibrate it:

      Some Notebooks and Tablets with Keyboards have added gesture features to the touchpad hardware and drivers. A few of these features are two or three finger scrolling, pinch zoom, circle zoom, rotate and swiping. These new features may be the reason for the erratic cursor movement since most are turned on by default. You can disable or modify the way the features work in the touchpad driver properties. Here are some tips to modify these settings:

      1. In the Search box, type main.cpl.
      2. Touch or click main.cpl in the list of programs.
      3. Touch or click the Dell Touchpad tab.
      4. Touch or click on the picture of the touchpad.
      5. Touch or click Gestures (depending on your computer there may not be a Gestures option).
      6. Change the options as preferred.
      7. Touch or click Save.
      8. Touch or click the X in the upper-right corner to close the Dell Touchpad Utility.
      9. Touch or click OK on the Mouse Properties window.
      10. If the touchpad still does not work after following the preceding steps, refer to Dell Knowledge Base article - http://dell.to/2iaiujA.

      You can read the full article here - http://dell.to/2tqmS02.

      We hope these tips help your touchpad work better for you.

    I went to Best Buy to look for a new laptop because my other one had broke. I saw this laptop for 279.00 and thought hey! That pretty good. I liked the lap top, but wasn't ready to buy. Came back literally the next day and the price was 399.00! Apparently I missed the deal of the day. I was really upset. Management did nothing for me. No one had told me about deal of the day. Really bad experience.

    It was a good price for what we were wanting but I guess you get what you pay for. The first one we got, we were having problems trying to connecting to the internet. We took it back and got a new one and when we got it home, we couldn't get on the internet at all. We went back and paid $200.00 more and got a HP. I got it home and I was able to connect to the internet on the first try.

    It took all day to get the junk off and that should have been a red flag right there. Ready in a hour? No way. It is fine if you want to wait forever for every click. The touch screen may even be slower, as I thought at first I was given the wrong one as that too was obviously as slow. I will return it ASAP.
