3/27/2011 3:41:23 PM When I search for something on Google (or any other engine), when I click on a URL, the site is hijacked. It's driving me crazy and I need this problem fixed. It just started happening 2 days ago.

1/10/2013 9:40:49 PM It seems that Dell has an internal clock-- once a computer gets 3 years old, it starts to slow down, keys fall off, get stuck. This has been a consistent experience from all my Dell laptops. I guess they want you to buy a new one every 2-3 years.

2/24/2011 9:19:34 PM I know it is a common occurence with labtops, but the processing seems choppy in random situations. It also overheats quite easily, and that leads to a restart.

7/17/2012 9:20:03 PM We'll see now, but historially, it freezes and is so unresponsive. Internet balks. Think it had malware-- words in webpages were hyperlinks to unwanted pop-up ads which did not appear at same pages on other computer. Bought the computer in 2010 but have hardly used because of these issues.

1/2/2015 6:00:50 PM After being left alone for several months, I turned it on to find it basically unbearable due to lack of speed, refusal to run certain programs, and being overrun by adware.

7/12/2012 8:21:05 PM i7 from Dell overheats! First i7 from Dell. Their engineers didn't anticipate this much heat from Intel, and didn't design proper heatsink, airflow, chasis for this processor.
