I am having a lot of trouble from this laptop.  I have sent a complaint to the company I bought it from asking for a refund but evidently they don't feel that I or their product is worth their time as I still have not heard  back from them.  I am not happy with this purchase.  I have set the mouse pad to it's most sensitive setting and still sometimes it responds and sometimes it doesn't.  I can be online and it will just lock up and won't move and crashes.  I have to use the power button to shut it off to get it to reboot to be able to use it.

I have a refurbished version of this machine. For the price(new or refurb) you can't beat the performance of this machine. Mine came with a 500w PS and the 1gb ati 4850 video card. Out of the box The only problem was a blinking cursor in windows explorer. That fixed and a bios update to turn on the i7 overclocking and its good to go.

I purchased this laptop back in May 2013 and finally upgraded the BIOS thanks to the review from D. Young on May 11th.  The fan was very noisy but after upgrading the BIOS per phone call with DELL, the fan is silent.  I should have gotten around to it sooner!!!!  I would suggest doing it right away if you purchase and have this problem because it took some time to back-up music, favorites, pictures, etc. before upgrading the BIOS.  They are up to BIOS A09 now. The phone rep from DELL that assisted was wonderful with helping.  The only other Con I found with this product is that the left and right keyboard selections are a little clicky and noisy and the trim on the edge of the laptop keyboard is a little sharp when you rest your wrists on it but for the price I can deal with it.

The performance is good so far and it does take a little adjustment to get used to Windows 8 but there is instruction on the desktop.  This laptop has everything I needed including a CD/DVD player.

I purchased at Best Buy in a bundle special which also included Webroot internet security, a wireless mouse and laptop sleeve for $349.99.

Hi guys, this is just a quick review to help us owners of the Dell Inspiron 17R (N7010) laptop that are looking to upgrade your memory. I recently wanted to upgrade the memory in my laptop and was having a hard time finding out which memory would work for me, after lots of research I decided on the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Corsair-8GB-2x-4GB-1333mhz-PC3-10666-204-pin-DDR3-SODIMM-Laptop-Memory-Kit-CMSO8GX3M2A1333C9/dp/B002YUF8ZG/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Corsair 8GB (2x 4GB) 1333mhz PC3-10666 204-pin DDR3 SODIMM Laptop Memory Kit CMSO8GX3M2A1333C9</a>&nbsp;because of Corsair's great reputation when it comes to computer memory.

The Dell Inspiron 17R (N7010) laptop running Windows 7 64-bit can support up to eight gigs of RAM so I wanted to install all 8 gigs into my laptop to maximize its potential. After receiving the memory kit and installing it into my laptop, my laptop recognized the new memory instantly and displayed all 8 gigs of RAM. The entire upgrade took about tree minutes and was worth every penny spent.

I also upgraded the memory in my wife's Dell Studio 1535 laptop with&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Corsair-Memory-VS4GSDSKIT800D2-4-GB-Kit-2x2GB-PC2-6400-800Mhz-200-pin-DDR2-SODIMM-Dual-Channel-Laptop-Memory/dp/B001JUA0CI/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Corsair Memory VS4GSDSKIT800D2 4 GB Kit (2x2GB) PC2-6400 800Mhz 200-pin DDR2 SODIMM Dual Channel Laptop Memory</a>&nbsp;which also performed flawlessly, if you're looking to upgrade the memory in your Dell Inspiron 17R laptop , you can definitely feel secure in purchasing these products.

I hope this is a help to someone :-)

The laptop comes with Windows 7 64 bit installed which is great. It only comes with 2gb of ram and it can run a little slow because of that. No problem I upgraded the ram and I now have 6gb which was a huge improvement. Now that isn't my main problem with the laptop. Because of it having the Intel HD 3000 video I am unable to use some software that says I must have either an Nvidia or ATI video card. One program wouldn't load because of the fact that it only comes with Open GL 3.1 and the software only needed Open GL 3.2. I downloaded all the latest video drivers and I guess it must be a hardware issue and not driver issue since that didn't make a difference.

If you don't need this laptop to do intensive graphics work like I do and want a laptop for a decent price and don't mind having to purchase some extra ram to make the laptop run decently then this is the laptop for you.

The Dell Inspiron 15 is perfect for a home, school, or small business office.  It doesn't have the fastest processor, but the graphics quality and overall performance of the computer is good for the price.  If you are a student or small business owner looking for a computer for general use this is a good option.  You will get what you pay for.

Needed the extra memory to upgrade this old Dell Inspiron 8500 to 2GB which is what is recommended for Windows 7 pro 32 Bit.  Fresh install, and the system work better than it ever did.

I have had this laptop for about 2 weeks , so far i am highly
impressed with the overall performance , it has exceeded my
expectations For the price it performs admirally , it is fast even
with only 4gb ram, although I only use it for web browsing , email,
and a little light gaming. I have w8.1 with the touch screen which i
really enjoy. This is an elegant looking computer , dell as usual your
product is a most welcome addition to my household.

The graphics card works well. At load (overclocked +100 on CPU and +200 on memory through MSI Afterburner), the high temperature recordings from TechPowerUp's GPU-Z measured 77 C. That's pretty good for a fanless heatsink design, especially at 79F room termperature (south LA).

I can definitely see an improvement by using discrete GT 730 graphics versus Intel 2000 (i5-2400). It fits the Dell Optiplex 790 SFF PC case but you do need to apply some pressure to squeeze in the PCI-E brackets with small force.

As for gaming performance, who knows? This is good for home theater PC and 720p gaming at low resolutions. I wouldn't dare add any extra graphical details, given that the architecture is based on a rebranded GT 630 v3 (kepler) series, which although is 28nm, is an optimized version of the GT 430, which was released in 2010. So although the price:performance ratio is pretty debatable (poor), its intention/audience targets the small form factor (mini-itx) pre-Haswell (intel hd 4600 integrated graphics) computers. Considering that low-end computers built before 2013 had poor integrated graphics, the GT 730 is a decent upgrade - provided you can get one below the $50 price point (used/refurbished). However, getting a 750ti or gtx 1050 for around $100-$120 is actually a more preferred investment in terms of entry-leveled gaming at 1080p according to modern game standards. Nonetheless, the GT 730 is okay for MOBA's or less-demanding 3D games (2D games, indie side-scrolling games, pre-2010 games, RTS, etc). I can definitely notice some hardware acceleration coming into play from Google Chrome after installation (vs intel 2000 graphics).

Is it a good value? Yes, if you're getting a used sff computer on ebay/craigslist/amazon below $150 with intel 2nd/3rd gen CPU's with small 240W power supplies. Is it a good value for gaming? Debatable. At 720p with low resolution and low expectations, the answer is yes because you're pushing the GPU at 100% to yield good frames per second. At 1080P, i'd just limit myself to movies/youtube and/or two-monitor display. The fact is Intel and AMD already have current integrated graphics that already outperform the gt 730, meaning it's going to be obsolete within a few years. Thus, this is a very niche product.

This is my first time buying a Zotac product. I think they have good solid features. No complaints. I look forward to trying other products from them in the future!

It's a DELL ---- and the quality is what I expect.  Refurbed and economical.  It's being used as a "Legacy Machine"  with Windows XP installed so it can run old Adobe programs and log weather 24/7.  No UPS is used.....it just re-boots and auto-executes the logging after a power fail.

I have no complaints about this laptop. It was an amazing price and the computer meets all of my needs. Plus it looks expensive and it's not;)

So far I am very pleased with my Dell all-in-one. It is slow sometimes, but I expected that due to the Celeron processor, I purchased it to use in my photobooth that I designed and built and it works perfectly for that purpose because of the touch screen. I also use it at home on my desk when needed. It was a great price and I like the Dell brand. I have had good luck with them overall. I give it 5 stars because it performs exactly the way I expected it to, but if you are looking for a fast, powerful computer, this is not it.

I have the older version of this model, the n550jk, it uses the same display. It runs wonderfully. I do light graphics design work so having an accurate ips screen was important. I play some games and itll run most games withing any hiccups on high. I did not have the black screen problems many others have stated. After almost a year though I did have the hinge coming a part. I sent it in for repairs. Asus rma was quick, I got  my laptop back within 7 days of it being sent off! It was the facility in Norcal. Excellent service and laptop.
