Nothing wrong with the actual quality of Dell machines, the one you had was simply "bargain basement" and as such that was reflected in components such as the incredibly slow CPU that it comes with (I've seen cheap smartphones with faster).No, I had removed all that stuff. It was a poor quality machine.Understeer is when you hit a wall with the front of your car
Oversteer is when you hit a wall with the back of your car
Horsepower is how fast your car hits the wall
Torque is how far your car sends the wall across the field once you've hit it0 -

You could buy two moderately fast Windows based laptops for that money with bigger screens, faster hardware, and still have change.suicidebob wrote: »I would get a MacBook - http://store.apple.com/uk/browse/home/specialdeals/mac/macbook_pro/13Understeer is when you hit a wall with the front of your car

I know! When your laptop can't even open articles on "Best Buy laptops" then you know it is time to get a new laptop!
I am currently stealing my daughter's laptop, to answer someone else's question.
Can anyone suggest a good Windows laptop?0 -

You won't find a better Windows laptop for the same price, despite what some experts might like to think.
Most new laptops come with Windows 8 and that's rubbish. Windows 9/10 will likely be rubbish as well so it's a good time to get a Mac, and a better computing experience.0 -

Mine came with Win 8 and (with the addition of Classic Shell) it's quite usable.
I particularly like the rapid boot.0
