Dell Inspiron 14R i14RMT-7500sLV 14-Inch Touchscreen Laptop (Moon Silver)

Actual Dell Inspiron 14R i14RMT-7500sLV 14-Inch Touchscreen Laptop (Moon Silver) review from user.
Nice little machine

I purchased this machine for an associate and set it up for them. My first real experience with a touch-screen machine and the setup/data transfer went well and as expected.

The only point I would make is that I prefer NOT to have anti-virus software pre-installed on a machine. Most of the time the manufacturer's choice is not what I want. This forces me to remove the installed security software so I can install the one I consider a better choice.

Some Misgivings
I've been researching laptops for over a year, overwhelmed by all the options (like kid cereal at the grocery store). I finally decided on this Dell, specifically this 7500sLV 14" touchscreen (there is a 7501 model). The 7500 seems like a good laptop, but I have a couple of gripes. I saw a review of the 7501 where the customer complained he has a missing pixel. Well I do as well on this model, but it's not a huge issue. But also I'm not really impressed with the highest res being so low-the standards have risen significantly but Dell doesn't provide those resolutions on this laptop. Even my 10 year old Sony Vaio had much higher res options. This can be a big deal for me, so I have until Monday to decide to keep it or return it. Windows obviously had to be upgraded to 8.1, but I'm finding the touch screen on certain internet apps doesn't respond well. Sometimes I have to touch or tap 2 or 3 times to get it to respond, even though I adjusted the touch sensitivity. I can get over...

Good price

Had a bit of a challenge setting it up but a call to Dell quickly resolved it. Windows 8 is new to me and that is taking a bit of practice, but all in all I'm quite satisfied.
