4.0 out of 5 starsGreat! Would buy again If I was a medium strenght gamer! (But can't seem to kill this laptop with physical errors)

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2016

I'm actually writing this review on this very same laptop. It works great and hasn't given me any serious malfunctions or hardware issues. I changed out the 8gig for 16 which does seem to be helping quite a lot! The back-lit keyboard is now something I look for with most computers I look at. The case it comes in is seemingly indestructible and the components inside are amazingly tough. I've honestly dropped it a few times like most laptop users and the 5ft drop it encountered it only got a piece of the interchangeable case was chipped. No screen damage or anything!I have had it overheat due to me using it on my lap or bed constantly but I can just re-start it instantly and have no issues! The BIOS is easy to navigate too and is very user friendly I honestly just say it's great for the price, I'm just wishing I got a desktop with it. The Processor does seem a bit clunky honestly and does freeze and lag pretty hard under quite some stress. I'm a gamer so I expect this I'm just bummed out that you cant modify it too much without being a computer wiz and that why I'm giving it 4 starts instead of 5, the ram is easy to upgrade and I'm sure the HDD would be too. But the Motherboard is soldered and everything else seems like you would have to go to an extensive amount of money and work to modify it to get it somewhat up to par with a desktop that costs maybe about the same if not cheaper?

P.S. For all those gamers out there it plays Fallout 3 just fine and battlefield just fine as well. I play Darksouls and GTA V constantlywithout too many problems besides it overheating once in awhile. HOWEVER it absolutely refuses to play newer games like Fallout 4 even on bare minimum settings which is a shame because you just cant upgrade the processor or the graphics card easily.

3.0 out of 5 starsWell build except for the operating system

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2013

Verified Purchase

The laptop is well build and easy to unpack and get started. The keys light up nicely and the screen is bright and contrast is good. The ports are in good locations around the sides of the laptop.
Windows 8 is a disappointment. The computer isn't a touch screen so Microsoft shouldn't force touchscreen enabled apps on you. Any installed app doesn't provide the functionality the Windows version provides you. I'm left with a feeling like I'm operation my Phone on a computer, that's not why I got a computer. I need it to be better and quicker than my phone.
We've used the computer now for a year and all of the issues we've had with it originate from the Software. Currently I need to take it into a Windows shop. Windows 8 isn't able to update to 8.1 because it isn't able to connect to the Windows Servers.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent Machine, base processor speed is 2.2GHz not 2.5GHz

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2012

Verified Purchase

This is an excellent Machine, very fast, with Turbo Booster 2.0 auto manage processor speed. I can run multiple tasks without delays excecuting them.
There is a model very similar to this one and almost 200.00 $USD ($736.00)cheaper, for less video and plastic back plate instead of aluminium, and keyboard backlit but more Hard Disk Drive, and 3 pounds less in weight which is very good if you carry your laptop with you. At first I thought I would have bought that one if was listed but now, after using this one I am very happy about this purchase.
No regret so far only:
1-This is advertised as 2.5 GHz, but base processor speed is 2.2GHz and I have seen mine at 2.9GHz with Turbo Booster Monitor.
2-Little heavy, 9 pounds (not really a problem).
3-Touch pad is very sensible but you can be solved with a mouse or some adjusting (not an issue).
4-I did not like, I saw this machine in dell.com website at a higher Price, and came here in blackfriday weekend, I though I bought it in a special Price, but now is lower. There was a psicological trick used to buy it in a hurry and two weeks later was a little cheaper. Not enough for a return but, I feel blackfriday was a trick.

Dell is a very good Brand and the best in Warranty service in my country, that was a very important point in my purchase.
This computer moves very fast, and multitask without delay.

My rate is 4.8 from 5.
Good Luck!!

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2013

First time buying a laptop and It's been great since I got it a month ago!While a month isn't long it has preformed wonderfully so far.The screen is bigger than I thought but not so big that it's too much to carry.

pros:
-Screen and resolution
-Fan (only gets warm after hours of gaming, at least 3 hours)
-mouse pad very responsive
-Performance fast and as expected
-4 USB slots
-NO UNEXPECTED SUPRISES (no shockers you wish you knew beforehand, so relieving)

cons:
-I wish there was a keypad.I knew there wasn't one beforehand but It looks like if they moved the keyboard a little and maybe put a keypad below it would fit.There is room and that would be a huge plus.
-CD drive is on the side right in a place were every time I grab the laptop on the side I'm afraid I might have messed up the cd drive a little.maybe if they moved it a little or replaced it with a insert drive instead of one that pops out, that would solve it.
-Keypad feels a little fragile, but maybe I type hard.Not a big thing and I hope it's normal.

Windows 8 is a little confusing and different at first, but once you get to know it and how to navigate the quick key it's actually really nice.I wish though that they had more of a tutorial at the beginning than it did.It wasn't much.And I know you can download more help in their apps, you have to stumble your way there.Besides that though, great.Now they just need more apps.

Overall this a fantastic laptop that is worth the price and just what you expect.I will update this as time goes on.

3.0 out of 5 starsOK For Basic Stuff

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2015

Verified Purchase

A relative bought this for their daughter in college. They asked me to help them change some settings and play around with it since I'm an IT professional. Honestly, it will work for basic surfing, email, office products, and a few other applications. But, as soon as you open a few, it starts to bog down. Also, windows 8.1 is a piece of crap in my opinion. It was riddled with issues doing auto updates. I fixed it, but a computer should not be like that right off the bat. The casing is ok. Feels a lil cheap. The keyboard is also not as sensitive as I'd like it. For the price of 300 or less, I think it is ok. But, I'd rather recommend you continue to save money and invest on an i3 or better AMD processor for $20-$100 more.

3.0 out of 5 starsI could have spent the same amount of money at Best Buy for a working out of the box computer

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2017

Verified Purchase

bought this laptop as a replacement, wouldn't boot up.I got a series of beeps and a screen saying the battery was defective.Bought a new battery here for 90 bucks and installed it and the machine still wouldn't boot.Ran diagnostics and found that it also needed a CMOS battery for the mother board.Of course the laptop is 2 years old and doesn't have a warranty from Dell, I can purchase an extended warranty for 200 dollars but is it really worth it for a 270 dollar computer?I could have spent the same amount of money at Best Buy for a working out of the box computer.I have it up and running and my GF loves it so that's the saving grace about this whole ordeal.The buyer should be made aware that there might be issues with discontinued stock or at least the seller should power the units up before selling them and adjust the pricing according to the issues with the units.

Started having a problem right after the initial setup. There is a warning that reads "Your battery is temporarily disabled. Please turn off your computer and try again when the unit is back to operational temperature."Thought it might be overheating but after shutting it off for over an hour I'm still getting the message.

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2015

I owned this computer for a year and had nothing but problems with it from about a month in. The computer would constantly shut itself down in the middle of me doing something with no warning. I often had problems with the computer throwing error messages that couldn't be explained and restarting on it's own. This computer is absolutely horrible and the fact that I needed to buy a new computer after less than a year of owning this one because I couldn't take the headaches anymore is a real pain. Stay away. Complete junk.

1.0 out of 5 starsIt's a Dell that should never sell

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2018

Verified Purchase

I needed a windows 8, sadly the only one I could get at the time was a Dell, which has never been a good PC. It's slow to start, the touch pad is really touchy and I mean that in the extreme negative. There was a years back I repaired computers, I loved Dell then because everyone that had one needed repairs... a real money maker for me. Well, I have a very limited use for this Dell, so little in fact that it might actually hold up. But if you are looking to use it as a real PC, forget about it.

Dell... very disappointed.After a string of good systems from Dell, this one was a total bust!I am fairly "computer savvy", but this one even frustrated me.Having it for about 48 house, I never did really have any luck without it "hanging" or "crashing".How did this system pass QC?? Or has Dell abandoned quality for volume sales & more profit?"Back in the day" folks paid a little more for a Dell because they were well vetted before they were marketed or shipped.Are those days over Dell?

1.0 out of 5 starsWorst video card on a laptop since the mid 1990's

Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2015

Verified Purchase

I really didn't think I needed much of a laptop for what I use it for, but web pages are incredibly slow to load, and the graphics from something simple like streaming is impossible. The picture is fuzzy and jolts. I put it next to the laptop I replaced with this one and the picture is crystal clear, so it's not my internet connection. I can't even use google hangouts. If you want ANY kind of video quality, skip this and get an HP. I wish I had. This is just terrible.

3.0 out of 5 starsEver since the first time I turned this laptop on ...

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2017

Verified Purchase

Ever since the first time I turned this laptop on, whenever it's being booted up or shut down it will start beeping repeatedly and EXPLOSIVELY loudly for anywhere from two to ten minutes. WHY?HOW DO I TURN THIS OFF?

Aside from that I'm enjoying my laptop a lot. It freezes up for short periods of time on occasion if I leave it on for too long, but that's mostly my fault and it never lasts long and works perfectly besides that. But the infernal screeching is driving me up the wall. I live in an apartment complex and it's massively inappropriate to house anything making this much noise on a regular basis and not using my computer isn't really an option for me. Has anyone else had this problem? Can someone tell me how to fix it?
