I WROTE A NEGATIVE REVIEW...

By Bonnie

from Fredericton

I spent precious time typing a negative review, and as I suspected, it was not posted! I would NEVER buy this computer (so-called laptop) again. It is very heavy, to the point that my legs go numb after a short time using it. I got the larger size because I wanted the numbers pad. The entire keyboard is black, the keys are flat with little space between making it very difficult to hit the right key. I have been typing for over 40 years, have a high speed, but on this computer I find it hard to get any speed at all! I would never buy this computer again.

Excellent Product

By Blue Eyes

from Toronto

Bronze Reviewer

I purchased the 15.6" laptop for my daughter. I received the computer and was installing microsoft office. Well, the cd was corrupted and I called Dell Support and I told them what happened. Not only did the Dell representative fix my problem immediately but he also gave me some extremely helpful tips about certain software. I had the best help that anyone could ask for. Initital set up was quite slow but that was to be expected. Everything seems to be running good. I would purchase another Dell computer if needed without hesitation.

Looks good but it has too many problems.

By Suzeque

from Vancouver

Helpful Reviewer

I was very excited to get this laptop but I wasn't told by TSC that it would take 30 working days to actually receive it. Then I finally get it and the thing is super heavy, crashes constantly and is slower than molasses. I used it for a week then I just couldn't take it anymore and I'm returning it for a refund. Not a good value as I originally thought.

I would buy this product again

By Terri

from Essex, Ontario

Bronze Reviewer

I like the laptop. It is heavier than I expected but not a problem. I have never used Dell before I have had Compact , HP, Toshiba. Thought I would try this. so far so good. It loads slow so I go make a coffee and come back.I did not like how it came it came in all different times. I am rural so that can be a big inconvience but I was lucky and they honked I had 4 separate deliveries for this. If I had known it was coming that way I would not have had to make so many calls to the shopping Channel to find out why there was no headphones or where was the sleeve got the top where is the computer etc.....
The software was not pr loaded It scared me but I got through it myself with minimal difficulty.
I would yes so far buy it again.

Where is the multi card reader?

By BigDaddy66

from Cornwall, Ontario

I agree it is heavy and I can work around that. I am not impressed with the slow startup either...anyone know why?
Also, I may have overlooked it but can someone tell me where the card reader is installed?

Upset

By Kate

from Sudbury

Fully loaded? Plug and Play? NOT!! We were given false promises.

I've made 2 trips across the city to Purolator so far. The first trip to pick up a lid; the second trip to pick up the laptop. I was excited to finally get the product home, only to find out I still don't have the software and headset.

This is maddening!! I wish all the components were handled directly by TSC. This way, we'd get everything in one box. Free shipping on this one cost me in time and gas, not to mention all the frustration along the way.

I'm not sure I want to keep this laptop, even once the software gets here. School has already begun and I still don't have my "fully loaded" laptop. "Latest and the Greatest" to boot.

dell

By Lisa

from Cambridge

Ordered 2 laptops . One for my daughter and one for myself. Frustrated when i had to make 6 trips to purolator/post office outlet to pick up cover, software then laptop. Because i bought 2 of these all came over different days and times. Laptops look good, easy startup . Software and headset did come together however , one of the CDs is scratched as it wasnt in the case properly when it came thru the mail and i think that is why i am having a hardtime trying to install some of this software.
