This is a great laptop for the price. It functions beautifully for basic use (school, work, surfing the web, etc.). I have had absolutely no trouble with mine, and would highly recommend this product to everyday users.

I've seen a couple of bad reviews simply because users purchased this computer with the intent to make it their "gaming" computer, and then were disappointed with the outcome. Check the specs and your game requirements first. If you truly want a gaming computer, you probably shouldn't be looking at Laptops in the first place.

It's a great computer at a reasonable price. If you just need something for work, school, and surfing the web, it's perfect.

This is a fantastic laptop, It is a business machine and it has everything you need to conduct business on the road.

I highly recommend this laptop.

I ordered a Dell Inspiron laptop 1 1/2 years ago and it worked great until recently. The screen went black and the system would not start. Turned out that the video card had failed.

I contacted Dell customer support to activate my next business day warranty and after more than a week I have gotten nowhere with them. My claim has been "escalated" twice with the same excuses and refusal to fix the problem. They claim they have no video cards in stock and I will have to wait 2-3 weeks for a replacement card, 2-3 weeks for a loaner system, or 2-3 weeks for a replacement system -- basically my NEXT DAY warranty is anything but.

I explained that this is a mission critical system and a 2-3 week delay is unacceptable given the high price I paid for the next day warranty. I offered to take another make or model of graphics card and even offered to go buy the card myself if the agreed to pay for it.

They refused to help in any way. So, I am left with a useless laptop for 2-3 weeks until it becomes convenient for them to honor the warranty. I will never buy another Dell product again and recommend that others who are not technically experienced with fixing computers or that need a "mission critical" system that they look elsewhere because Dell cannot be relied upon to fix broken systems in a timely manner.

I got this thing used a few years ago; now, I'm a 16 year-old, and my primary use for computers is writing, storing my photos, and gaming. This laptop is pretty decent (especially for the price) for the first two of my purposes, but for gaming, it was way, way below par. We had to buy numerous upgrades for it to even run World of Warcraft on top of my pictures (they take up a lot of memory).

BOTTOM LINE: If you're looking for a low-key laptop and you don't need much memory, this is a nice little piece of hardware.

Its not a bad laptop at all, my only disapointment is that it wont play dvd's, a file or program is missing. This was a letdown because I take long bus trips and wanted various ways to spend my time.
It was a low price, In a way I wish I would have waited and got a more up to date laptop, but hey its still new to me.
It is rather sluggish at times, it could have something to do with hot spots.
I think I was exspecting more, but hey it was only $240.00 and it is 6 yrs old
at the time I was desperate, and you get what you pay for.
one good thing it arrived fast, and I was able to track it.
