    This laptop is good but it puts the cart before the horse. Your primary disk is the smaller 128. That is to make start-up faster but for users needing much space, you need to redesignate where your items save to. Dell support was veeery lousy, unresponsive and annoying. If only to show my grouse for that I wouldn't buy a Dell for a long long time. This Dell makes it more than 10 I have bought over time for business and home use.

    This is a good computer overall to use at home. It's light and I even edit pictures and it's not slow. I wish the screen was brighter and better resolution though. Touch screen is nice and precise but it lags a little when editing pictures. The sound is not too bad but not great. I like the keyboard a lot and mouse pad is pretty good too. I also like the fact that it is quiet and it doesn't get too hot.

    I bought this computer because I was enrolled in an online degree program. The laptop performs well and does everything I need it to. I love the touch screen and the speed and memory are definitely a bonus. The battery could be better but overall I’m happy with the purchase.

    I have used this laptop for 2d CAD and for programming plc's for home use and it works flawlessly. The backlit keyboard is a must have feature, and the CD/DVD drive is much more convenient for uploading old pictures on discs or software. Plenty of USB ports for accessories, and I like that it has an Ethernet port built in as well. The touch screen works great and is handy when surfing the web or ordering online. Overall, I'm very pleased with this laptop.

    This laptop exceeded my expectations. I thought with it being touch there would be issues but so far no issues at all and it is very responsive no delays when using the touch features. It was such a great investment. The battery does not last as long but with all the other great features it makes up for it. I would recommend this laptop to anyone. If you have any doubts, don’t! You will be completely satisfied with this purchase.

    I had to invest in a new laptop because my previous one did not survive 2 years. I was so disappointed and hesitant about a new purchase but this one had all the bells and whistles that I needed. I love the touch screen on this one as it's much easier to operate than my previous laptop. I have not had much time to play around with it but I do know that it works well for my job which involves online teaching in other countries. I'm looking forward to checking out all the features and putting them all to use. No problems to report at this point.

    I purchased this laptop for a customer. It performed well enough for what I expected. The system fan is way to loud and runs way too often. I ended up returning it because the Dell service tag was not recognized by dell or their support site. Neither Dell or BestBuy could help with the issue, tho they did offer a warranty card

    I purchased this laptop to use in my business for the huge storage space. However, I didn't realize the primary storage space was on a separate drive D rather on the primary drive C. As some point I will have to partition the C drive to add space from the D which is a hassle. I love the lighted keyboard and the light weight of the laptop. I'm looking forward to this laptop meeting my needs.

      LarryG,

      We'd recommend the following tips to help extend the battery life on your computer:

      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.

      You can read the full article here -  http://dell.to/2vfXWf4.

      We're glad that there are many parts of your computer that are working well for you and we hope that your battery life gets better as well.

      Best,
      Bryan

    Was looking for.a replacement for my 7 year old HP. And this laptop had everything I was looking for. Everything works as it should and am still in the process of finding a stylus that's compatible with it.

    Overall: fast, lightweight, good battery life. My only negative is the "integrated" battery that cannot be easily replaced with an external thumb slide like their earlier laptops, but that is the mistaken direction Dell took, and other laptop and cell phone manufacturers have taken as well. Otherwise, I couldn't be happier with this laptop.

    No problems getting it set up, runs really fast and great screen. Only issue is it runs Windows 10 and I don't like 10, but everything is either Apple or !0 these days. Battery life good, no problems for me.
