Everything was was easy to navigate to and the outlay simple is simple to obtain
I would recommend this to a friendA great value for the money.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased this laptop computer for my wife and she is very pleased with it. The main reason she wanted the laptop was for word processing but that quickly expanded when she discovered many of the additional features that came with the laptop. The sale price made this a sweet deal indeed.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a very nice laptop…but unbeknownst to me, it is very heavy and difficult for me to be able to use it remotely. I would like to please, to just exchange it for a smaller one and one that is not so heavy.

Great laptop!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm lacking in technology skills but with the aid of my wife I was able to pick up this laptop and get started on my own after some guidance.

Battery lasts about 2 hours
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got a good price for a Dell computer but for some reason there are certain movies I cannot watch on Netflix. It must be on the settings and I need to figure it out

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice Computer. Just wish I had known it was going on sale the very next day and that I had to pay the sales tax when there was some no sales tax days in Florida. I could have used the extra savings.
I would recommend this to a friendNice computer problems with Dell.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First issue: When I attempted to install Steam it sent me to Microsoft and wouldn't allow me to install Steam. I tried chat with Dell. They told me that I hadn't purchased a hardware warranty, though the problem was software. It took someone on Reddit to tell me how to make the needed changes. Second issue: I tried to install Linux but the computer cam with 2 drives that were RAID 0. The only way to install Linux was to break the RAID. I didn't want to break the RAID so I left the computer as is. Would I recommend this computer? Sort of . . . not "Yes" or "No."

New purchase
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When my old laptop would no longer turn on, I was dreading shopping for a new one. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was and am very happy with my purchase from Best Buy. The salesperson was very helpful and helped me pick out the perfect laptop for me!
I would recommend this to a friendAlways Dependable, Always Dell.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been a loyal customer of Dell laptops and computers. The Dell Inspiron is lite weight, stylish, and a solid investment. I am a returning college student and the Inspiron is more than capable of helping me in completing my academic goals.
I would recommend this to a friendA joke
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't even know if this laptop works because a charger was not included and no one notified me of this. Absolutely terrible to act like a charger is an optional "accessory" when it's necessary for functionality. Terrible on Dell for not including it and on Best Buy for not being willing to ship a charger. Pure corporate greed.
