    Believe it or not a little difficult to set up.... the set up wants me to do things I have not done before... I think Microsoft believes everyone knows what is going with the new updates... The computer itself seems to be good... and what a value!

    I have had this laptop for over a month and it works great. The processor is quick. The only tiny drawback is that I wish the key were raised a little, not so embedded in the tray. But great laptop for the price and for what I need it for now.

    Love Dell and this computer was a great price! Only four stars because it’s last years model, so it doesn’t have all the gadgets that I would like it to have to give it five stars. Besides that, it does everything I need it to do and has been great!

    This laptop has both a traditional keyboard and touchscreen capabilities. The storage space is phenomenal at the price point with 256 gigs of solid state memory and an additional terabyte hard drive. It also includes the Microsoft 365 package.

    The laptop isn’t terrible for the price. The extra HDD I don’t need, 128gb SSD is just fine. Great they give you it though at this price point. Keyboard and trackpad feel cheaper, definitely compared to their 5000 or 7000 series which I’m used to.

    this is a STUNNING laptop, I have had it for MONTHS now and I can gladly say it's great! It runs fast, does exactly what I need it to do and everything. It's not so much for games, but it does run Sims 4 very smoothly.

    Do Not buy anything geek squad

    Geek squad could not help even though the product was certified by them. There was absolutely no WiFi or bluetooth capability when it was turned on, the touch screen was shotty and it has to be plugged in to even catch a charge. Geek Squad would not speak to me over the phone. I had to make an appointment 2 weeks out just to drop it off and then there was no telling how long it would be til I got it back. They suggested I call Dell instead. After 2 hours on the phone I was able to connect to wifi but that was all. Every time I start the computer I have to plug it in and I can only connect to the wifi in my home I can not take my laptop anywhere else without an ethernet cable. What's the point of a laptop!? Yes this review is months after I had it but it took a while to get it in the mail and I wasn't using it as often as needednsince I could only use it at home and in that time I tried to get extra warranties which was still an option but I was denied or transferred on the phone until there was no end. Literally hours were wasted on getting this computer to perform at minimum as well as the time spent trying to apply the warranty to simply replace the device with a new one to no avail.

    This computer has done great for school work and work at home. Was really easy to setup. Although it took me a little bit to learn how to install the software protection that came with it. It loads up extremely quick and easy to navigate.

    Having a great time using this laptop. Size is perfect! It was a beast to initially set up requiring calls to Dell. Best Buy tech support were not able to help but, fortunately, Dell was very helpful. Also used college tech support.

    Needed a cheap good one for online zoom meetings only. After deleting some of the junk software and games it does what’s needed well. I would recommend this for online classes and zoom meetings. It’s held up good so far.

    Good computer school or work wise, but resolution can only be up to 1366x768 so not the best in screen quality, same goes for the camera. Video wise only captures at 720p at 30fps and photos captured come up as 1280x720 nothing higher.

    The display is washed out unless you have the screen pointed Directly at your face. The battery only lasted 4-5 hours brand new. I'll hate to see how long it lasts in a couple of years.

      Tim111,

      Thanks for your review. We're sorry that your computer's battery is not lasting as long as you hoped it would. We'd recommend some of these tips to help your battery last longer:

      Change the Power Plan:

      1. On the notification area of the taskbar, right-click the Battery icon.
      2. On the options list, click Power Options.
      3. Select a power plan on the battery meter, such as Power Saver or Balanced. Windows 10 has a built in 'Battery Saver' mode that can be activated to extend your system's battery life. The Battery Saver mode will monitor and limit background activity and other features such as push notifications. You do have the option to enable or disable this mode within settings or within advanced Battery Saver settings, you can customize the mode to best suit your needs.

      a) Click on the Action Center icon in the taskbar and select the tile for Battery Saver.
      b) If running Cortana then type Battery Saver into the search box and select from the results.
      Within the Battery Saver settings page, you will be able to turn on and off the feature and customize the feature to best meet your needs.
      c) Turn Battery Saver On or Off.
      d) Additional settings available via the Battery use and Battery saver settings links.
      e) Battery use shows further info on apps and their power usage.
      f) Battery Saver Settings screen allows you to customize further Battery Saver feature.

    Love how this laptop is fast and has a lot of storage space. Wish it had a disk drive, but one can be bought fairly cheap to plug into this. Probably wouldn't use it that often anyway. Also easy to change out of windows S mode.

    Very nice piece of equipment. I really haven't had it long enough to know if I like it a lot but my husband seems to love it. There is no office software on it. You will have to purchase all your office software.
