bang for the buck

 

Bought on sale during Thanksgiving. Was torn between getting the missus an iPad or an all in one PC, ran across this and couldn't turn down such a deal.

Good overall system with lots of storage. Is definitely more than necessary to handle average user tasks for a number of years to come. Will still be good for email and such years after that

Lower resolution display. Not horrible and generally an issue across laptops until the price goes up significantly

Powerful Notebook

 

Probably our last notebook PC. Not as portable as a tablet because its size and weight. Not as powerful as a desktop PC or as easily upgraded. It seems the laptops are really caught in the middle in terms of functionality. If we didn't have some...

Bought this day before Black Friday for several hundred less but with Win 7 installed. Powerful hardware for the price. Easy BIOS upgrade to UEFI through Dell software so now Win 8 ready. More storage than we'll ever use. Intel 4000 video the best I've...

Slow hard drive at 5400 rpm limits performance of this fast system according to WEI. No Windows product key or install disks included so phoned Dell to ask how to upgrade to an SSD. They did not provide a product key and it seems that i would have to...

Not a bad deal at all!

 

For the black friday price of 479.99 this unit is hard to beat. Build quality is decent and with 8gb's of ddr3 and a 3rd gen Core i5 processor you have a laptop that will meet many owners needs and expectations. At 699.99 this unit would have alot more...

Dell bloatware but you get that with any other brand also

Great bang for your buck!

 

Uninstalled lots of bloatware, but were no issues. Had stuff like e bay, Microsoft Live Essentials, Wild Tangent games, and several others. Installed MalwareBytes Pro, Microsoft Office Professional 2010, Microsoft Security Essentials, Photoshop...

8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Windows 7, i5 processor for under $500. So far so good. I am giving it 5 stars for what it is and the price paid. I would expect more if this was a $700 system, but for what I paid, it is worth 5 stars

This unit is very heavy. Does not have full keyboard with number pad on side like many newer systems. Screen resolution is 1366 x 768 and not HD, but that is typical of this price system

I replaced a gateway that was always over heating. This unit is rated with energy star and it runs well and does everything I need for it to do. I take and edit photos online so I need the storage. I would recommend strongly removing the programs that...
