Excellent laptop, laptop starts up fast, 4GB of ram is plenty for a student in college or home, I3 processor is great for the price, 500 GB hard drive is plenty for anyone, and 5400 RPM keeps the battery life going longer. Laptop did come with unnecessary software, but takes 5 mins to remove. Laptop is gorgeous looking but does attract finger prints. Would recommended to a student or for use at home.

Update: Laptop still is going very strong. Only downside is part of the letter came off on the N key...will replace the keyboard within the next year.

I love this computer. Dell did a great job. it is fast and reliable. And even better, it gives you the option to not install all the bloatware that usually comes with new computers.

yes, this is real March 16, 2011
I stalked this particular laptop on dell's website for a few days. Compact, fast, cool. Everything I needed to help myself become a digital dj. Then I found it on amazon for about 80 dollars less? It only took me about 2 seconds to think about it before I hit the "add to cart" button. This thing is fly.

The only thing I can say is that the shift button is a little smaller so sometimes I press the enter button instead, and the track pad is hard to tell from the surrounding area of the rest of the computer..so you think you're all set to scroll the crap out of something and nothing happens..haha. These are just silly things compared to how happy I am.
