Wasn't looking for much other than speed on the internet and could work with my photos. Had an old HP & it had just bit the dust. Didn't want to spend too much and this Dell was just the ticket. Unfortunately, I find myself on it more often now. The battery holds up great & I find by the time it's just about gone -- that means I've been on it way too long. I dragged my feet putting out the money to get a new one, so glad I did and for this one.
