Dell 15 inch Laptop,
May 25, 2016 Really nice screen. Images and video look great. Did not come loaded with a bunch of crapware. Sound is excellent for laptop speakers. Good profile size. Not so thin that it feels fragile.
Touchscreen operation is smooth, but the tactile feel of the screen is not as smooth as a glass screen like on a phone or tablet. Your finger will drag a little more.
Keyboard is good size and has low profile keys. Backlight works great.
The inside of the case, especially to the right and left of the mouse pad is made of a plastic that is smooth, but has a little resistence when you slide you finger across it. It feels good but seems to collect dust pretty quick, almost like its a little sticky.
I got almost 8 full hours on battery with mixed but heavy use.
The bad news. Start up is still slow. Along with windows ten I have adobe lightroom and Office 365 installed. Boot times to operational are still a couple of minutes...

Excellent Computer For the Average User,
April 13, 2017 One of the most compelling reasons for purchasing a computer was the eventual expiration of my ten year old HP laptop. I knew my needs had changed dramatically from needing a lightning fast multi-purpose computer during my working years to a far less demanding need now that I was retired. However, I also knew that computing speed, a vibrant and sharp color display, and a large memory capacity remained needs and not wants. After much research I settled on this Dell 15.6 inch, a down-size from my previous 17+ inch screen. I'd also never had a touchscreen computer or one with backlit keys, functions that I thought would be simply extraneous but which turned out to be highly desirable functions. The display is sharp with deep colors and clearly defined edges, better than the Dell 22 inch monitor I also purchased at the same time. I've watched several movies already as well as used Microsoft Office-(not the trial version that's included but one I had purchased previously). The...

Great Computer and easy to set up!,
January 10, 2017 I love this computer! I am not tech savvy by any means, and I was able to get it all set up, right out of the box! All the parts and pieces were in the box, and it was very quick to get it all up and running. I purchased a mouse, and computer bag for it, and everything has come together well. It's a great computer for me!
