1/10/2011 8:29:26 PM It has some issues with the web browsers. Error messages 7 and 105 frequently come up on Google Chrome and sometimes on Internet Explorer. Also has problems shutting down sometimes and in this case, I would have to do a force shut down.

2/20/2010 8:12:00 PM This new laptop has been fixed by dell 9 times and is just now running most of the time. It has had several problems with the volume control application locking up which requires a restore operation to clear. I bought the CA S/W mostly to update drivers and keep the registry clean.

4/7/2010 11:09:53 PM This computer is a replacement for a replacement for another DELL that DELL techs attempted to fix over a 4 or 5 month period and did nothing but make it worse. The original replacment was no better and now this new laptop is showing signs that DELL has fallen to the bottom of my "next laptop" picks.
