|
| 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! |
|
| 4/7/2011 8:18:32 AM | Most of the time its fine, but lately it is doing alot of non-response when I try to open programs like explorer |
|

|
| 12/15/2010 11:25:56 PM | My computer lock's up sometime's and need's some frequent restart's and also run's slow. |
|

|
| 1/15/2011 1:41:00 AM | A bit slow to start. |
|
| 10/1/2010 7:39:01 AM | It just performs slow. |
|
| 4/4/2011 8:07:22 PM | Of late it has been slow |
|
| 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. |
|
| 12/12/2010 12:34:15 PM | Windows scan found 3 severe issues, I'm hoping PCMatic can find and fix them |
|
| 12/11/2010 5:02:37 AM | It has been running too slow for some time now. |
|
| 9/4/2010 8:47:54 PM | ?????? |
|
| 11/14/2010 9:36:57 PM | Computer is great until my antivirus fizzled and can't get rid of warning messages and popups. |

|
| 7/7/2013 11:13:17 PM | I will give you more information once I start using the computer again. Sincerely, Scott Wall |
|
| 7/14/2013 7:45:29 PM | Not quite happy with Windows Vista. Prefer to Windows 7 and 8 but not Windows XP |
|
| 8/17/2013 12:14:13 AM | It is a secondary system for email and document processing and does okay. |
|
| 7/10/2014 9:30:21 PM | many problems in the recent months |
|
| 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. |
|
| 6/20/2014 9:00:55 PM | Started having difficulties with latest update on June 11, 2014. Freezes. To shut down have to take out battery and put back in. |
|
| 10/15/2014 9:50:58 PM | Just want it to run as smoothly as possible |
|
| 7/4/2014 6:35:56 PM | I will have to try it for a few weeks to decide if I am satisfied enough to keep using the program. |

|
| 8/27/2015 9:33:15 PM | It is 8 years old. |
|
| 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. |
|
| 4/13/2015 10:24:20 AM | it's old......but works pretty good |
|
| 6/26/2012 10:13:11 PM | Originally supplied with Vista. Upgraded to Win7. |
|
| 2/19/2015 10:08:47 PM | Would like for it to be faster, but it is not bad at this point. |
|
| 2/22/2015 9:14:54 AM | running slow |
|
| 12/9/2014 7:23:40 PM | pc keeps asking for a service pack update but then will not complete it. |
|
| 11/10/2014 4:56:34 PM | Unable to charge and new batteries unavailable from Dell!! |
|
| 6/15/2015 12:03:35 PM | It's a older model but it does it's job |

|
| 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. |
|
| 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. |

| 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. |
