Consumer review (newegg.com)

Does the job for a decent price

When I first got the laptop it wouldn't upgrade, after a while I reinstalled windows 7 using the referb oem key, I later saw a pro key inside the battery compartment. I upgrade from a clean install of 7 to 10 then use windows 10 reset pc. I had to go...

Has an n-trig screen that can take notes Came with the pen Excellent keyboard, love the way it feels Rotating screen Feels solid and heavy, might be a con to others

Touch screen didn't work on half the screen Battery life is terrible 1.8 inch drive is hard to find cheap Minor cosmetic damage Bluetooth doesn't work for me

With a little work it's a great buy!

With a bit of technical effort it's an excellent choice for the price compared to the lower quality touch screens on the market.

The laptop is in great physical condition - good hardware refurbishing.

The windows 7 install wasn't done that well - I needed to manually install the Microsoft update KB3135445 (update for the Windows 7 Update software) in order to get the Windows manual update program to work properly.

On Second Try, works great

Great Value. Newegg was fully cooperative on the exchange.

affordable, flexible and works great. Free upgrade to Windows 10!

had to return the first laptop (same model) due to 2 defects. Gave it a second shot and the second one works great so far.

starter budget pc

refurbished by a company named Shivnet. would buy another if I had a friend just needing a basic windows pc and keyboard and prefers to use a mouse.

I saw the low price and rebate being offered, and I wanted to give it a chance. I wanted a computer to take on the road and not worry about it being lost, stolen, or smashed. Needed tablet weight with a keyboard. This tab/lap is light. No qualms about...

usata magnetic hard drive makes this a bit harder to upgrade but the location under the battery is easy to access.. will buy a ssd usata drive for about $30 to give myself a performance boost and cut EMFs from the hard disc. sometimes there is a slight...

It is a good machine, only if the battery is good

If a new battery can be obtained, it is a good machine for the price.

portable, fast, light.

A really bad battery. You cannot use the machine as a mobile. It will die in less than 30 min. And this battery is almost impossible to get nowadays... Upgrading to Windows 10 does not work well either because Dell does not upgrade the driver for...

I added the Dock, blue tooth,batteries and wwan card off e-bay. 256 gig 1.8 SSD drive. Works in win 7 but have problem win 10. Do a clean install for win 10 if you want to use it, some of the driver conflict on the upgrade will make the unit unstable...

Good value for refurbished laptop

For the same price, you can get an Atom powered laptop of similar size. However, this performs much better, has more memory and touch screen. Kind of hard to beat.

Mine arrived in amazing cosmetic condition, just a bit of adhesive residue. Works well for its age. Installed Linux and Xournal works well. Yes, the screen is pressure sensitive. Lightweight, small and portable. RAM is maxed out at 5GB.

Windows 7 installation is rather slow. Drivers not completely installed. Drive bay accomodates 1.8" drives only which makes upgrading harder. Comes with a spinning platter HD.
