Loud speakers, pretty fast, nice bright colored screen, microsoft office is only a trail and then it uninstalls itself...stupid. nice app store, and xbox game store, not a touch screen but I prefer it that way. I bought mine at staples for $299 plus I bought a 2 year warranty.

The funny thing is that this laptop has a numeric keypad
Purchased from BLINQ through Amazon.

I was looking for a laptop that's not too heavy, and not too bulky with a screen size of 15.3" ~ 15.6". Also, I didn't want to spend much money on it because it's going to be carried around with me outdoors. This was it! The funny thing is that this laptop has a numeric keypad, but there's no way to keep the Num Lock locked on boot. There's no section for that in the CMOS settings, either. However, I did figure out a way to keep it on by changing the registry value for the keyboard.

Another thing I noticed is that the fan kept spinning faster and louder like a hair dryer and kept spinning forever. Apparently, this is quite common on Dell laptops. Yes, but it's not normal. What's really weird was that, I was planning on swapping the RAM out with a bigger one, but, it wasn't quite compatible, so, I sent it back for another type that's identical to the original, except, with bigger memory size. So, I had to put...

Good laptop, affordable price

I bought this laptop a few months back, because I was starting school and I needed something inexpensive, but reliable. This is a solid deal - it does all I need it to do, and is affordable.
