Am I having too high of an expectation?

It's good looking good feeling, and the big screen that I wanted, also the number key is a killer! I can't handle laptops that have no number keys, one of the reason Mac is not for me. I would definitely give it a five star if the speed meets my expectation. Because this one has SSD, I expected it to be way faster than my old computer. But it even takes a second to load web page. Plus, One annoying default setting of this laptop is that the F2 key is set to adjust volume, which you would hate when using Excel, whose F2 key is to enable editing a cell and is used so often. That's not really an issue as you can googlmaround and changemthe setting. But I would recommend Dell to not set it as default anyway. I don't feel it's much faster than my old laptop, and speed is my major needs. But it has every thing else I definitely wanted (bid screen and number key). My expectation could be too high. So I gave it 4 star to be fair. We'll see how it works when time goes by.

A little heavy but what do you expect with a 17". Unless you want a backpack, do some searching for a 17.3" "briefcase" bag. Great picture, still has a dvd drive, ssd drive and 2 T drive, not bad.

This computer has lots of storage and ram, a powerful processor, and a solid state drive combined with the hard drive that makes it load files rapidly. It's very fast and a pleasure to use, although too big to be considered very portable. Highly recommended as a desktop replacement that can be portable when necessary.

It is hard to find a good value on a 17" laptop. This is a good value laptop. The SSD allows for nearly instant boot up. Has a large traditional hard drive. Good graphics on the monitor. I'm still trying to determine the quality of the battery. At times the battery drain appears to be fast and then, without even plugging it in, the % of battery left mysteriously goes back up.

This is my fifth laptop over several years and it is by far the most sophisticated and fast. The visuals on the screen are so vivid and the color depth is exceptional. I use very large Excel spreadsheets and the laptop does not hesitate when loading a large file. Keyboard is responsive and the built in mouse pad is very sensitive to my touch (working with Excel, I use an ergonomic mouse). The number and variety of ports makes it easy to connect to any peripheral device.

My husband truly enjoys having this laptop. I’ve also found that it is user friendly. It also has numerous features- we watch movies on it; connect it to our TV to view internet programs; and it is fast.

I just wish it had a quicker operating system. It’s slow to boot up and slow in opening office programs. It’s not as good as I hoped it would be for the money I spent. I’m sad to give this review.

Brand response from YourDellTeam

Cris,
We're sorry that your new computer is running slower than you had hoped it would. We'd recommend limiting the number of programs that launch at startup:
1. Close all open windows. 2. Press CTRL + Shift + ESC key together on the keyboard. 3. In the Task Manager window, click Startup tab. 4. Select the program or application that you want to disable from loading during startup. 5. Right-click and select Disable. 6. Repeat Step 4 & 5 for all the programs or applications that you want to disable from loading during startup. 7. Restart your PC.
You can also run the Windows Performance Troubleshooter to see if your computer can run faster:
1. Close all open windows. 2. Press the Windows logo key + X key on the keyboard. 3. Click Control Panel. 4. Click System and Security. 5. Under Security and Maintenance, select Troubleshoot common problems. 6. Under System and Security, click Run maintenance tasks. 7. Follow the on-screen instructions and prompts to complete the process. 8. Restart the PC.
We hope that these tips help your computer perform better for you.
Best, Bryan 1-800-624-9896

Replacement for my old Dell. Works so much faster with SSD and 2T hard drive. Occasionally glitchy and needs a restart but satisfied overall.
