The size is nice and its nice to have a built in 10 key, but it's heavy. You could practically use it as an anchor so you definitely don't want to travel much with it. The battery life is in reality about 3 hours so don't go far without the cord.

As for the hardware itself, the keyboard and touch-pad are very low quality. The keyboard I can deal with but the touch-pad is absolutely horrible. It navigates the pointer with very low accuracy and is extremely non-responsive. Even with the touch-guard turned on, the mouse jumps around while typing and is difficult to find when you need it. I use an actual mouse most of the time which resolves this but this can be difficult when out and about with it so this is where the challenges become very apparent.

This laptop comes with Windows 8, while not Dells fault, is clearly an operating system designed more for use on a tablet than on a laptop. It is awkward, extremely cumbersome and very very inconvenient. Especially for veteran windows users. If you get this laptop and have a copy of Windows 7 laying around, I recommend the downgrade. It was rated one of the highest by Consumer Reports for laptops in this price range which is why I got it, but if I had to do it over again, I would probably spend a little more and get something else.

I bought the laptop and I've had it for a day. So far it seems to be pretty solid with the exception of the bloatware that's installed. But I guess you get that anywhere now-a-days. I just wanted to clarify the resolution on this. It is 1366x768, not 1920x1080 or the other 1366x1378 (more tall than wide??) as stated in the description. It is a solid laptop and hard to beat for the price.

I am very sad today to get a computer, a very serious problem is that the laptop's screen resolution is 1366 * 768, but the website is written in 1920 * 1080 and I think this is cheating, I now use this notebook in China, difficult to service, but the problem needs to be addressed, it is who is to blame? I do not know how to do, This is so sad.
