Dell Inspiron 17RV-5545 17.3
Enjoy using this laptop, switched from 7 yr old desktop. Bought this Dell for size of screen & keyboard--husband has large fingers. Other smaller keyboards too sensitive. We didn't want expensive touch screen. This keyboard easy to use, mouse pad works well, screen excellent pixalls & color, great price for quality product (so far). We had Windows7 so had to adapt to Windows8, different but easy to use, change always frightens folks but I like Windows8 so far. Has some software loaded we didn't need but computers are packaged that way. Comes with Windows security & free McAfee security. The Dell was easy to set up & configure, no book manual to store in desk since tutorial is loaded right up front for you. Dell weight is kinda heavy for back pack but great for lap, desk or sitting in bed. Speakers are ok but after market are better for music & video lovers. We didn't need large data storage so this Dell brings price down. Would buy again, BUT, we bought Square Trade warranty since we...

Great laptop for a great price

I had to make the difficult move from an old Toshiba laptop with XP to finding a new laptop that would have Windows 8. My husband and I have been very satisfied with this purchase in the couple months we've owned this computer. I like the large screen that is nicer on my eyes than others, which easily trigger migraines in me.

I won't go into technical details because I'm not a computer techie. I merely found some laptops that interested me, and I called the Amazon computer help desk for assistance in understanding which model best fit our needs. Imagine how impressed I was when the woman from Amazon actually recommended the cheaper model, since I'm nit a gamer, and the only added benefit from that model was in playing computer games.

So far, we love the computer and have not had any problems at all since we got it!

And how can you go wrong with this great price?

So far So good

I was able to easily upgrade to 8GB buying a single 4GB memory module for $40, and I found this laptop on refurb for about 330 with no problems at all. Plastic on back seems a bit flimsy, more like a hard black rubber, but it works. Easy if slow to upgrade to 8.1 and to fix the minor OS issues, the only issue I had was that WiFi was higher priority than Ethernet, this is a matter of moving the Ethernet network over the Wifi in network management. Like the big screen and higher resolution and low power CPU.
