| 5/11/2009 1:12:15 PM | I really enjoy this computer, have only had it for 5 months, and it runs well. Although, VISTA seems to have a gliche every now and then. |

|
| 12/8/2009 6:01:12 PM | I think the main problem is compatibility with websites and Windows 7 |
|
| 4/23/2010 12:54:40 PM | I have now gotten use to using this new computer. It's Great, very easy to use and have not had too much problem with getting the programs I wanted to keep from my old computer, most worked fine after transfered using the PC Mover Professional and PC Sync. The few I had problems with have been solved with a call to the technical support team of that particular program. I am sure I will be adding programs in the future but they should not be a problem. Excellent Computer! |
|
| 9/13/2010 12:38:29 AM | Very Satisfied with this computer. It is fast and after a reset of OS all of the problems seem to be taken care of. I am very please with the performance of this computer as it does exactly what I want it to do and offers help information that is useful. I also have exteded warranty on all parts and systems on this computer. |

| 12/5/2009 1:03:34 PM | the computer I am using is a Dell Studio. It is a replacement computer because the Dell I had died and it was under extended warranty. I have been having lots of problems with my printer pipeline not working. I never had this problem with Windows XP but this Windows Vista gives me a lot of problems. I can't even update my system. |

|
| 8/19/2011 11:33:37 PM | Had the Hard Drive replaced last year, while still under warranty. Currently out of warranty. No major problems that I know of. Recently had the router replaced during an upgrade to 15mips from 5mips. Need to verify that the upgrade is affective. |

|
| 11/4/2009 6:42:39 AM | This PC is 2 weeks old. I haven't "run it out" yet. This online diagnosis is something I've done with all past PCs, and is a good way to benchmark their performance. |
|
| 8/20/2010 3:31:47 PM | Lately, it has been slow and has crashed despite low processor and memory utilization. |
|
| 4/10/2010 9:29:42 AM | Generally satisfied, but from time to time I get messages: "[application] HAS STOPPED WORKING" where [application] is often Firefox. Possibly a Firefox 3.6 bug ?? Have also had a couple of automatic reboots while the PC has been idle and unattended, but not enough to classify as frequent. Possibly an ISP problem ?? Web page loading was very slow in both Firefox 3.6 and IE8 during January and February, but this seems to have corrected itself. |
|
| 9/19/2010 3:26:10 PM | I have to use system restore often |
|
| 5/23/2010 8:24:34 PM | Estou percebendo diferenças no Pc, e acredito que algum vírus ou spyware o infectou |
|
| 10/6/2009 3:31:57 PM | I like the computer but hughes has a mb download that slows up my computer to a crawl |
|
| 8/31/2010 11:18:21 AM | locks up but no reboot, come out of it in 1 to 2 minutes |
|
| 3/25/2010 1:37:12 PM | IE is corrupted and causes problems. I noe use FF and these problems have disappeared. |
|
| 3/25/2010 9:58:39 PM | Not sure I should have bought a 64-Bit system. |
|
| 6/27/2009 11:35:22 PM | vista 64 bit sucks, and I have 8 gigs of ram!! |
|
| 11/13/2009 10:31:13 AM | slow internet and network connection problems |
|
| 8/30/2010 1:35:50 PM | I AM SATISFIED WITH IT, BUT LATELY IT HAS BEEN STOPPING EVERY 20 SECONDS OR SO, THEN CONTINUING. DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. |
|
| 11/2/2010 10:13:22 PM | I do not like the Microsoft Vista. |
|
| 8/26/2011 1:44:40 AM | Sometimes, when this computer reboots it does not load and has to be hard shutdown and rebooted again and again. It has done this since we bought it. We had an engineer look at it and he could not figure out why. A hard drive has gone bad on this system in the past as well. |
|
| 8/23/2009 6:27:12 PM | There is a driver problem |
|
| 9/8/2009 8:03:35 PM | can download anything but can not install after downloading |

|
| 10/13/2011 7:22:06 AM | I love the computer, but lately is was very sluggish and my screen keeps freezing. I have had to reboot several times. My biggest issues are with Facebook and it's functions. Hopefully, PC Matic can remedy this. |

|
| 1/30/2010 11:51:22 PM | Dell's out of the box support has been very disappointging. It is a coin toss wheter to keep this computer or send it back. |

The printer does not print when I try to download a pdf file. It won't print at all and the printer refuses to print anything else until I reboot the PC, then it might print it or it might not |
