| 10/4/2011 10:01:41 PM | Running good then I get a fuzzy shaky screen followed the blue screen of death with a parity code error. Sometimes the screen recovers and I get message that says my display driver temporarly stopped working. The computer seems to run slower with a disk in the disk drive even if I'm not using it. |
|

|
| 11/15/2009 9:50:27 PM | Runs great needs more RAM |
|

|
| 8/19/2010 2:15:48 PM | The only problem I have with my laptop is that it tends to highlight on it's own when I am writing or on a website. It's very annoying! |
|
| 5/4/2010 6:04:24 PM | since I installed Windows 7 it appears to run slower |
|
| 4/14/2010 9:21:07 AM | it's OK |
|
| 4/30/2010 1:49:31 PM | However, many problems... |
|
| 5/21/2010 11:52:08 AM | Less than a year old |
|
| 4/27/2010 5:17:49 PM | about a month ago it started sending spam emails about erectile disfuntion pills to random people on my contact list |
|
| 9/25/2009 8:12:02 PM | ok |
|
| 12/28/2009 11:42:20 PM | The laptop locks up for reasons which I think might have something to do with the download of the VLC media player which came with other features such freeze. Although I erazed and uninstalled them the problem persists |
|
| 3/15/2010 5:05:46 AM | It is a Replacement Notebook, without the ATI Graphics card, which came with the one I ordered. How Dell gets away with this, I don't know |
|
| 12/9/2009 4:50:34 PM | None. |
|
| 5/23/2010 3:56:39 PM | I have no idea how things are running now. I need to "USE" the machi8ne to answer this. |
|
| 11/5/2009 11:02:16 PM | Programs seem to load slow when online even though I have a 50mb dwnl packa with 20mb up |
|
| 6/17/2009 6:23:28 PM | Expected performance near Dell XPS but wish I had purchased the higher performance machine. |
|
| 11/26/2009 10:07:44 PM | communication with printers |
|
| 3/24/2010 7:14:33 PM | new today |

|
| 8/26/2010 2:43:29 PM | I do not ask much of this computer. |
|
| 9/7/2010 4:08:45 AM | For the build i tought it would be faster operating. alot of processes are running ie 96 in background but difficult to know which process to shut down |
|
| 11/12/2009 12:36:56 PM | its stable |
|
| 12/10/2010 9:42:17 PM | Frequent "not responding" messages |
|
| 7/21/2010 9:04:53 PM | Purchased computer in Oct. 2009. All worked fine until may 2010. Then when I logged on it would not connect to Internet Explorer. After about an hour it would let me in. Dell Tech help would help but the problem would be back the next day. It is like something is running in the background and has to complete a cycle before letting me connect to IE. Some days it's OK Other days it is hours before I can get in. |
|
| 1/11/2010 4:46:41 PM | Simple tasks take too long and we don't use numerous applications as do friends we know with their computers. Locks up too much! |
|
| 7/18/2010 7:06:57 PM | Sometimes it does very well, but at others it really causes problems by freezing and then having to be shut down. |
|
| 2/15/2010 5:11:39 AM | I locks up only once in a wile |
|
| 2/19/2010 9:51:29 PM | MOVES SLOWY |

|
| 1/2/2010 7:40:10 AM | problem with blu-ray dvds not playing correctly since windows 7 upgrade |

|

|
| 12/14/2009 7:18:53 PM | Was bought with the knowledge that it was a mid-lvl laptop. |

|
| 2/2/2010 8:23:05 PM | computer running ok but changing urls and screens is taking some time. |
|
| 3/22/2010 4:25:27 PM | I would have been more satisfied had i known that for the last year norton 360 was not performing the task or completing the jobs it said that was addressing. Because of Norton 360 lack of performance my computer had become infected with hundreds of virus. All the while I trusted that the product I paid for was protecting my computer. Resulting in costing me over $200 for repair and hendering my ability to complete my school work from the convience of my own computer. |
|
| 2/18/2010 3:37:38 PM | It just seems to run really slow for the type of pc that it is. Also have trouble with the media controls working consistently. |

|
| 10/3/2010 4:00:40 PM | I recently called Dell support and they did some cleanup over the phone so it is running better but internet pages are still a little slow in loading. |
|
| 10/3/2010 5:19:20 PM | I will have to see if this appication works?? |
|
| 11/12/2011 6:07:43 PM | its slow |
|
| 2/5/2012 8:54:16 PM | A LITTLE SLOW. NOT TOO BAD. |
|
| 9/12/2009 11:28:15 AM | Virus hit caused Blu-Ray to not function. Dell's recommendation was to reload the operating system from the backup. That's such a cheap and easy way out rather than to actually solve the problem. |
|
| 3/19/2010 6:06:45 PM | The computer is ok. But I probably wouldn't buy another Dell. |
|
| 1/11/2012 7:15:49 PM | Dell Studio 1737 good machine, I wish it had a better video card but oh well. |
|
| 12/22/2011 12:21:40 PM | This computer does lock up occasionily. I have wondered if I should install Windows 7 to replace Vista. |
|
| 11/7/2011 8:57:47 PM | I have yet to see how this works. Please ask me again after I've had a chance to experience the updates. |
|

| 1/11/2011 10:01:26 PM | i have had 5 seperate hard drives sent to me through dell and have reinstalled the whole shooting match x25+. the preloaded stuff seems to chronically be plagued with software with no valid signitures, outdated certificates, language codes that have been changed to imaginary languages, and commands that delete entire registries. reinstalling is a joke since the same garbage keeps coming back over and over again. microsoft needs better ways to keep customers coming back other that seemingly screwing up all their stuff right before and forever more their newest stuff comes out so ya have to finally give up and buy the new crap just to be able to use email for a minute. but they "are not responsible for any of the crap gotten through them or the havoc it might create in your id stolen life"... |

| 6/10/2010 11:55:03 PM | I've had this since 3/09 and I've had major issues where I had to reinstall the operating system 2-3x, change out the keyboard and replace the motherboard/circuitry inside. This thing has turned out to be a lemon. |

| 12/12/2009 5:20:27 PM | This is theh second laptop I have gotten from Dell in the past 4 months. I have had many issues with Windows. I feel the way this computer runs everything is more difficult to do. Dell sent me to your software and I hope it can fix the pop ups I am getting from Windows. |
