DO NOT BUY!

I bought the laptop one year ago thinking like most of the reviewers...its good for that price! One year down the line the laptop did not start and gave a beeping sound. Cost me $200.00 to fix and now am trying to dispose of the junk.

Great deal on laptop, was looking @ ipod touch but couldn't justify limits vs a great Dell computer which was $150.00 cheaper. THXThis product is... Good sound quality, Easy to set up and is lightning fast, A nice compact sizeAbout me... Budget...

Dell Inspiron

I truly love my Dell laptop and it's many features. The size is perfect for me as a student, as is the built-in cd/dvd rom. Having several portals for jump drives, memory cards, and headphones is a real timesaver. I do not know how the webcam works...

Wifi ability, fast processing, multimedia, multiple storage options

Mouse froze up unexpectedly a couple of times

Great computer, but has many problems

I don't know where to begin. I love this computer. One of my favorite laptops I'veever had, but I began having trouble with it just a few months after I bought it.First there was the blue screen which I got after three months of owning this computer....

Fast loading time, fast in general, big screen, shiny, thin, good price, Best Buy has good service

Poorly made, breaks easily, short battery life

wow

Wasn't even sure what this would do but knew both my son and granddaughter loved their's so I gave it a shot. Does so much more than expected. I love being able to watch netflix on it especially now that my computer is in the shop. Has great sound so...

All the different things it can do

could use a little stand to put it in when watching a movie

Overall a good laptop

This is a good laptop for a beginner. It's easy to set up and at a good price. What I mostly like about it is the display. What bugs me the most is that the battery dies fairly quick, it scratches easily, and it's not quite light.

Easy to set up, good price, display

short battery life, scratches easily, weight/heavy
