I was looking for the perfect laptop to replace my old Toshiba. This laptop works great, no complaints so far. The price for this laptop is actually a steal with how fast the processor is. My mom bought one as well (her first laptop). I will update my review later if any problems arise and/or if my mom has anything to add.

Pros: Boots super fast (like SUPER FAST), lightweight (I carry it to class with me), Windows 8 is actually very easy to use once you get the hang of it (even the most computer illiterate person could figure it out), I LOVE the number pad as well
Cons: None yet
Sound Quality: It's loud enough for a laptop. I actually find the sound pretty efficient, but don't expect any "super bass" or anything.

But once again, this would be the perfect laptop for you, especially if you don't want to go buy an expensive MacBook.

The computer feels solid. There's no latch to keep the screen down when it's close, but if you're careful that's probably not a big deal. Don't lift directly in the middle of the lid though, that's where the camera is. It does attract dust and fingerprints like a magnet, but whether you'll care or not is personal preference. According to the sticker on the front, it actively tries to run your battery in charge cycles to prolong life, which assuming they do a good job of it is an awesome feature. Just a note, you'll have to go into power options and click Dell Extended Battery Life options.

The first thing you should do after you've set up the computer, is restart and press F12 before and as the Dell logo is coming up. Then choose diagnostics and test the system thoroughly. It'll take maybe 30-40 minutes, but it's well worth it. Then go into the My Dell application and stress test it again. Then do it again once a week or so. Your goal is to either fry the thing, so you're replaced rightfully so during warranty, or see that the system is rock solid and you're probably fine. You won't void any warranties, the Dell software specifically says it won't damage your hardware; if something gives out it's defective. DO NOT WAIT until you're close to or out of warranty to perform tests!

The DVD drive is about as cheaply constructed as they come. It looks very fragile and I wouldn't bet on it for a whole lot of use, however given a lot of video and games are digital now, it may not be a big deal. According to the Backup Media creation software, it burns at 2x so it's quite slow, but then again it's a cheap laptop.

Backup Media - The backup media is not included; the software that creates it is awful.

The first thing that you'll notice is that it's extremely lightweight and is very uncomplicated. This is something that my 87 year old mother-in-law would be able to use right out of the box. Since she's never used a computer before, that says a lot. Many of the everyday apps that you use on a daily basis, are preloaded into the device. It comes with things like YouTube, Gmail and other Google products, and there are literally thousands of free apps available. It starts up very quickly and according to Google, updates are installed automatically. I've found all applications to run smoothly and quickly.

I like the hardware. It's got a nice size and weight. Doesn't feel like a premium computer, but doesn't feel exceedingly cheap. Works well, once you figure out what you're doing. It's great for such an inexpensive computer!

The cover makes for a nice grip, but collects fingerprints like you wouldn't believe, and then you can't wipe them off. That's the biggest flaw in the hardware.

I really hate to ding it for what is now the standard (which is why I only took 1 star)...

But Windows 8 has been a less-than-impressive experience. We had to google how to shut it down -- I'm not kidding. You move the mouse over the lower-right, some faint buttons appear on the right edge, so you hold the edge and move the cursor up and they become visible. Then you click the gear, "power settings," and shut down. Seriously?

The Desktop vs Metro thing, including separate, non-inter-compatible programs is mind boggling. Switching back and forth between the two (IE can run in either mode, but the session is not shared, Word will only run in Desktop) is a pain. The lack of a task bar or even the ability to take IE out of full screen makes using two things at once a huge chore. Say you're updating a cover letter in word to line it up with a job posting (true story) was incredibly frustrating.

We haven't resorted to installing Windows 7, but it's going to happen sooner or later.

I bought this laptop originally to be used as a tool for college. It works great for looking up lectures, emailing, word, etc., but since I might as well and do more I did. I am currently downloading two games at the same time (battlefield 3 and GW2) a total of 3.2 Mb/s speed while I am listening to music on Rdio and doing online homework for a class. So far this laptop is not running slowly and is quickly switching between task that I command it to. While doing this unplugged, the battery lasted me for a 3.5 hours on Dell / high performance mode! (I have to explain that later.

Now some may wonder, why doesn't my Dell Inspiron do that? Well you have to understand that factory settings put your laptop in Dell mode ( which turns to battery saving mode on unplugged and high performance plugged in the AC adapter). You can customize the Dell mode, which I highly recommend, by clicking the battery button on the bottom right of desktop mode. Click customize it and go to advanced settings. Then for plug in options of Graphics card and network card, put them both on Max performance. This will increase your max download speed of .5 kb to some number higher than 10 Mb and it will overclock the graphics card for you. You can do the same with the CPU but I think that it is on Max Performance when plugged in.

So basically this mode will give you a better performance when plugged in and it will be on battery saving mode when not. Normally the battery will last for 5-7 hours!

The CPU is on standard 1.8 Ghz and on turbo is 2.7 Ghz on High Performance mode (on battery settings) or plugged in AC on Dell mode. This laptop can handle Minecraft easily and I'm sure it can perform WoW easily as well. I've read that it can play Battlefield 3 on low settings of around 30 fps.
