    I price shopped for months before selecting this product. After purchase, Geek Squad began installation of my software and product was unresponsive. After multiple tries with multiple laptops, Geek Squad concluded it must have been a bad batch. Had to return product and select another.

    Had to ship it out for service (which took 3+ weeks) within the first 4 months because it stopped charging. Had it back for a little over a month and now the hard drive is toast. As if this isn’t bad enough Dell’s “customer service” is horrid. They are worse than ATT. Going back to an HP

    Too slow for a new laptop. Bought this from desperation while travailing mu laptop died. Very slow and not that good at all. It takes 20 seconds to read/load a simple spreadsheet. If I had to make a decision today, I would spend a little more $ and get a laptop with core i5.

    Dell makes a great product so not sure if my issue is an MS Windows 10 issue or Dell, but for a brand new computer to crash after such a short period is rediculous. Spent 3 hours with dell support and have another called scheduled. Sure it will be another long one. Not worth the hassle.

      @Mine, We're glad to see that your new laptop is meeting your needs. Here are some tips for using your touchpad: 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.
      We hope these tips help you but for the full article, you can read it here - http://dell.to/2tqmS02. Dell

      Dear Wanda, We're sorry to hear that you're not happy with the performance of your new Dell laptop. Here are some tips to help with the slowness on your device:
      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.
      For the full article, you can view it here - http://dell.to/2tSulGV.
      For help with the lock-ups and freezes that you are experiencing we'd recommend:
      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.
      Here's the full troubleshooting article - http://dell.to/2tW5m33.
      We hope these tips help to get your computer into the shape that you had hoped it would be in. - Bryan Dell
