DELL i5748-6428sLV

Over-all, I like this Dell laptop. Once I get used to using its features and 8.1, it should be fine. Batt. limitations are no biggie for me, as this unit will stay at the work station and I have no problem plugging in a charger. I'm happy and would...

Nice workmanship. Crisp graphics. Fast start-up

can't turn off touchpad due to windows 8.1. Using wireless mouse, but with touchpad on, I keep hitting it while typing and messes things up. Low batt. life. I'm still getting used to unit. It will replace my PC

frustrating

I also learned that this model has been obsolete for a year, which ought to have been disclosed. But the price was very good for a puter with these specs. We bought 2 of these thinking they would see us old fogies thru to the end. Hope we can get them...

Solid, and it does work

M$ has been a basket-case ever since they moved to Windoze, and Win8.1 is the worst ever. It is now blocking my Linux Mint installation DVD, and searching Dell for solutions wastes hours and so far nothing. I had to spend days to even find a way into...

Fine hardware, Win8.1 is a pain

My WinXP totally crashed Apri1 17th and Support ended the next day. It proved to be unrecoverable. We bought 2 of these laptops for mate and myself. She's running Win7 which is making a terrible mess of her d:/MyDocs and hoped that 8.1 would be better...

Very nice laptop, good specs, amazing 3-day shipping from NJ to AP ; Looks good, runs fast

Windoze 8.1 - what a loser

Laptop conundrum

Working with this in the shop environment is acceptable. Quick and affordable is a plus.

Easy set up and went to work immediately. Screen size helps and can use it in moderate lighting without problems. Battery life is not as long as I thought it would be after a full charge, but acceptable. Tough finding a proper case for it due to its...
