|
| 4/9/2011 4:45:37 PM | I like my PC a lot. My only main issue is keeping it up to date and maintaining it so that i do not see the "blue screen of death" and have it crash on me. I hate having to restore back to point before updates and it jsut makes things frustrating when you are working on a project and the pc crashes!!! Thats the last thing you ever want! |
|
| 4/16/2011 3:50:41 PM | It's a great computer when it's running well |
|

|
| 1/19/2012 10:07:07 PM | It's ok for the amount of use that I do. The only problem is that sometimes when we are typing the cursor moves away to the middle of the text. |
|
| 11/6/2011 12:06:56 PM | It's giving me constant error messages that it can't find a file. |
|
| 11/6/2011 7:00:21 AM | just installed it. |
|
| 11/12/2011 2:36:50 PM | not sure yet |
|
| 5/22/2012 10:48:17 PM | It might be getting older but it has been reliable for a desk top replacement that I can always take with me if I have too. |

|
| 12/23/2010 12:25:52 PM | When I go to the Dell help center and enter the model the reply is that the model can't be found. The Vista software is ok. However, it has a lot of problems with shut downs. |

|
| 10/24/2016 4:09:12 PM | While attempting to get to pc matics site last evening to protect this computer, I was attacked by some shopperz/up note ware. PC Matic was down for maintenance and I had to nuke the drive and start over today. It sucked. |
|
| 10/5/2015 2:09:41 PM | It's a 64 bit and it's only running 32. I love that it's Windows 7. |
|
| 4/3/2015 5:13:18 PM | It's a bit old but still serviceable. |

|
| 1/5/2015 9:09:14 PM | it's been a great PC, but my Dell support expired and due to the age of the laptop they didn't seem interested in offering support. |

|
| 4/12/2014 10:03:48 PM | So far I am pleased other than the fact that the program took so long to run and fix things. It also takes too long just to scan. |
|
| 6/6/2014 11:21:41 AM | Has had malware embedded in it for a year that is hard to get out. |

|
| 12/23/2010 12:34:05 AM | I love this little Dell inspiron 1720 but it would have been better if dell offered more video card updates with their laptops. And if they would work more with intel, ati, and other main hardware manufactureres to make better/more updated drivers for their longterm computer users! |
|
| 9/22/2010 9:53:46 AM | I like the computer but it runs very slow and the more microsoft updates I add on the slower it gets. |

| 5/24/2015 11:21:30 AM | \Since I have used PC matic my experence have been disappointed. This system has no firewall. This is nothing more than arepair maintence and very weak at best. As far as anti malaware i give a mid rating.Hear a few months ago my computer was on the verge of crash. I use Iolo system mechanic and may enough repairs so that I could save it from total crash.I don't believe that your product does what you advertise. However I still run it occ. Most of the improvements have been made by me wiping the disk and unloade stuff even though it shows I have fee space. Before I would try anymore of your products I would need to try free for a month before I could decide if it work. I feel like I lost $50. |
