    VERY Dissatisfied

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

    Having heard that Dell computers are good ones, I purchased this for our church office. We have had issues with it almost since we purchased it. The main problem is that it would just turn off on its own right in the middle of creating a document and I'd lose it. We took it to Geek Squad and no problem could ever be found.

    extremely slow, disk is always on 100

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

    This laptop is extremely slow, disk usage is always at 100, can't find out reason. The time waiting for an app to open is 30s+! Is there anything wrong with disk? I can't believe this will happen to a new laptop that is packed with 7th generation i3 processor and 8gb ram. The performance is worsier than my 3 years old laptop! I am considering to upgrade the hard drive to a ssd. Very disappointed with Dell and their products!

      Hi Shay, Thanks for your recent Dell laptop purchase. We're sorry to hear that it's running slower than you had hoped it would. We do have a few steps you can try:
      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.

      We hope these tips help improve the speed of your new device. - Bryan Dell

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

    Lovely laptop until I got the dreaded hard drive failure is imminent, read, write errors. Did the quick and full tests and got the same thing. Back up your files and send in your laptop. of course it is past the 30 day exchange allowed for so off to the DELL Mothership it goes instead. all this after just over 2 months of owning it. not happy.

    I have never used a computer that is so slow in my life!!!!! All this computer does is freeze and "update" for hours every time I turn it back on!!! It freezes constantly even when I type a sentence. Waste of my money and time!! Don't waste money on this piece of junk!

      Marissa, We know it can be frustrating when a new computer does not work the way that we intend it to. Hopefully these tips will help your computer speed up and stop freezing on you. For help with the slowness on your computer we'd recommend the following:
      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.
      Read the full article here - http://dell.to/2tSulGV.
      In relation to the freezing on your computer please follow these steps:
      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.

    Not touchscreen?

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

    I bought my computer about 2 weeks ago from Best Buy, while it was on sale, but my computer is definitely not touch screen like it says it is. It hasn't worked from day one, and it was one feature I was most excited about.

      3. Go to Control Panel and select Tablet PC Settings.
      4. Under Display tab, select Calibrate....
      5. Choose Pen or Touch input.
