I purchased this laptop in December: the pluses of this lap top are the wide array of features compared to comparable laptops in that price range, including blue tooth, web cam, 500GB Hard Drive, 4 GB of Ram, pentium i3 chip, and that its running windows 64 bit. I also like the clarity of the screen and the sound options, the fact that it came pre-loaded with Windows , Skype, and several other nifty features, to name just some of the pre-instaled soft-ware was great. The few down  sides that i think could be better, is first the weight of the lap-top is not something i would want to regularly carry. in addition i dont think the battery life is thta great as it is only a 6 cell battery. never the less compared to the Compaq i previously owned it is light years ahead. in addition, i am not such a fan of the key board as it includes the numbers button on the side and on top, the positioning can get annoying for someone who hunts and pecks, as i find myself constantly hitting the numbers lock button as a result, ptherwise i recomment this laptop

This is a SMART computer!  I love all the features, it's fast, it's user friendly and it's good-looking, too! The only downside is, when I bought it it had to do a LOT of updating and downloading itunes and chrome took a while, other than that, I've really enjoyed it!

                                        Dell makes good and very reliable laptops to work with.                                         I have used Dell laptops from many years. They are very durable. They can easily handle minor impacts. I would say it is made for daily use.                                        This particular model is the very basic version among dell laptop. It is very easy to use. No brianer at all. It is deisned well. Plain and black in color, but looks classic not boring.                                          Con I would say, the battery life diminishes with usage. Initially it is about 4 hours. It weighs about 7 pounds. It is easy to carry around.                                          The charger is not very bulky, which is very good for easy carrying while travelling.                                         Love the picture quality and sound speakers are too good.
