For the specs and price of this laptop it is definitly not worth the price. I bought this machine back in December and it has done nothing but disappointment me so far. The first thing that happened is I had to call the help line and have them send me out a new hard drive because that was broken. Then the next thing was that I had to trade it in for a new one because the mother board was broken. Next the machine they sent out was wrong and I had to...you get the picture. Also for the specs I have on it the inspiron does not run nearly as well as something with half of the processing power. I highly reccomend against this and would never buy dell again.
