2/26/2010 7:31:31 PM This computer is OK, just OK. The operating system ‘VISTA’ is the worst OS I have ever ‘attempted’ to work with. It is not stable; it is not compatible with older programs that I MUST use for business. Because of ‘VISTA’ I will go to MAC for my next computer.

8/28/2009 11:05:50 AM Yesterday the cpu ran at 100% and nearly unusable. I tried a few things incluing system restore, and eventually powered down, removed the battery and put the laptop in the refrigerator to cool it down... seems to run fine again.

2/20/2011 10:56:06 PM I like the Vista OS and have always liked Dell. I should have gottne more memory and larger hard drive as I tend to load up my systme and maybe that slows it down sometimes.

10/1/2010 9:21:43 PM It is a good computer, however, over time it has slowed down and I'm sure I've picked up viruses. I would like it to be faster and more reliable. I don't want to worry about being spied on anymore either.

10/24/2010 1:34:59 PM Was satisfied until I upgraded to Windows 7 and did not have a clean installation, thus problems ensued. Windows 7 has been reinstalled and I am looking forward to great performance.

8/15/2010 7:59:34 AM I think Windows Vista is the problem. Very slow to boot up and bring up any application. The frequent updates are annoying and once started,they totally tie up the computer (often for 15 minutes).
