- Pros mentioned:Great value, Looks new
Great performer for a reasonable price
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This computer is a great performer for a reasonable price. Looks like new and performs like new. Refurbished? I cannot tell. Looks and performs like a new computer without the new computer price. I recommend this laptop for anyone looking for a great computer for a great price. Shipping was fast. Received laptop in 3 days. I am pleased. Take it from a IT Professional, this computer is worth buying.
I would recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:Heating, Mouse pad
Not bad
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It came right on time and nicely packaged. The problem is that the mouse pad doesnt allow me to scroll up, only down. I can click on the scroll bar on a page and use normally, but if I want to use 2 fingers and scroll up I cant. I also have to click multiple times sometimes to actually click on something. Overall I think I just got one with mouse issues. It works fine otherwise and I use if often only for things like emails, applying to jobs, and shopping online which can add up to like 2 hours at a time. It gets hot but I am using it for a longer period at a time I guess.
I would recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:Motherboard, Refurbished

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.

If you'd like your computer to operate at a cooler temperature you can try these tips:
Tips for Proper Usage:
1. Dell does not recommend placing portable systems directly on your lap. Due to reductions in the thickness of modern portable systems, heat transfer can be an issue.
2. Using a portable system (Laptop) on a hard, flat, non-cloth surface will increase airflow and reduce heat from underneath and inside the system.
Using the portable system on a blanket, pillow, or other types of cloth will cover up the fan cause the computer to overheat and can cause permanent damage.
3. It is recommended to use the portable system in a Room temperature of 0°C to 35°C (32°F to 95°F) with a Humidity level no greater than 90%.
4. Use compressed air to clean the vents on a regular basis.
5. Using a cooling pad can decrease heat and increase performance.
6. If you want to know the temperature limitations for your system, go to the Dell Support Website, look up your system model then open the user guide under the manuals link.

Lastly, if you feel like your computer should be performing faster we'd recommend running the Windows Performance Troubleshooter:
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.
