Nice looking computer but lacking computing power

Pros: Nice, bright, responsive touch screen. Perfect size screen for my needs. Cons: *Extremely* slow computer on wifi and directly plugged into the modem. (No speed issues either on wifi or directly plugged into modem with a year old laptop, so internet connection isn't the issue.) Slow on startup, even after removing the preinstalled anti-virus software and any other program I didn't want. Installed, uninstalled and reinstalled two printers that work fine with a year old laptop; both printers absolutely refuse to work with this computer no matter what. Overall very disappointed as this is supposed to be a home business computer and it's really just (marginally) okay at browsing the internet. Considering the cost, I would definitely recommend passing on this model.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Avoid this pc

I bought this PC in August. I've had nothing but problems. Geek squad had it for two weeks in November and ended up having to replace it because it crashed and they couldn't figure it out. Here I am one month later and geek squad is remoting in trying to fix it again. I'm so frustrated. I will never buy Dell again. This is so unacceptable. I barely even use the PC. The first one that crashed all I had ever done on it was watch Hulu. This one I managed to play Sims on one time and now it's not working. I wish I could just return it!

BrandiF,
Thanks for your review and we're sorry to hear that your computer is not performing the way that you hoped it would. We'd recommend diagnosing your crashes and freezes with the following 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: a) Start the computer. b) 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.) c) Select Safe mode with Networking and press Enter. d) Log on as the administrator or as a user with administrative access. e) 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 step 3 to see if you are able to resolve the lockups 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.

AMD A9 processor not so good.

The problem with this computer is the processor. The reviews for the intel processor are much more favorable.
The AMD lags when you type or are watching videos and typing at the same time.
