    Fast, quiet, super thin laptop. As always, Dell makes a solid feeling unit. Only complaint is the keyboard (characters are hard to read on silver) and the way it opens (awkward the way the screen wraps underneath). No frills - just works right.

    Buying a Computer Isn't What it Used to Be

    Buying this computer at Best Buy was an interesting experience - somewhat akin to buying a can opener at WalMart. No customer service, unless you pay extra and use the services of the Geek Squad. To get Office installed, I had to buy it separately and do it myself. The laptop came with NO user manual written on paper. The whole experience was somewhat stressful but the computer performs as expected. We like it.

    This is my very first laptop that I bought by myself. I had a HP laptop when I updated the printer it affected the bios on the HP laptop & it was dead. So I went online to see what Best Buy had to offer & I read the reviews of this laptop sounded pretty solid. I was torn between the I7 & I5 model of the Dell. I figured the bigger the # the better the laptop is going to be. I have NO clue about laptops. Everyone says I picked a great laptop! I am so lucky that I was able to transfer my old data from my old laptop to this Awesome new Dell laptop.

    The Dell keyboard with silver keys is not as easy to read as the dark keys from my older Dell. Like the number pad on the right side. Easy setup out of the box, and all well so far.

    Really good laptop, just don’t like how keyboard blends with it and you don’t really see the letters.

    Really fast starting up and shutting down. I do not understand why it is so difficult to transfer contacts from one lap top to another,

      Hello Dt99,

      We are sorry to hear that your Inspiron is not quite meeting expectations and apologize for the inconvenience. We suggest performing diagnostics to determine what may be causing the issue. Provided below are instructions to do so.

      1. If the computer is displaying the Dell logo and does not move past that point, it has probably failed POST.
      2. If the power indicator lights up and it is amber or orange, this is usually an indicator that it has failed POST.
      3. If you see text on a black screen, the computer is currently performing the POST. If the computer stays in that condition and does not move past it, it has probably failed POST.
      4. If the video screen displayed anything at all during the startup process but is now black, this probably indicates that the computer failed POST.
      5. If the computer is beeping or if Caps/Num/Scroll Locks are flashing, note if there is a particular pattern in which it beeps or flashes.
      6. If the computer is not beeping and caps/num/scroll locks are not flashing, unplug all connections and remove all media communication devices (e.g. external monitors); reconnect one at a time and check if the computer functions.
      7. For a notebook, press and hold the Fn key and then press the power button. This starts the pre-boot testing and will launch ePSA. In case you have a Desktop at the Dell logo screen tap the F12 key to enter One Time Boot Menu and use the arrow keys to highlight Diagnostics and press enter.

      Best regards,
      Wendy C.
