    who is the user for these low-end laptop, i doubt they open more than five internet websites at a reasonable speed.

      Practically anyone that needs a laptop PC for general use rather than high end gaming. Swap out the mechanical drive for SSD and all good.

    Very slow

    Take it from. Someone who had exactly this spec laptop but different brand.
    I thought 500gb is well more than I need.

    4gb of ram
    Some high number mhz of 2.4ghz

    How bad could it be! Since all. I do is browsing and a few word docs that's it.

    Oh God how wrong was I!

    Minutes to start up.
    Minute to open word.
    Then another 30 sec to open the doc

    Lagging to open a few tabs in browser.

    Open a video file. Ages to start.

    Ive got no hair left from pulling it out

    I then went for a i5 8gb ssd model.
    And have never looked back

    Tldr: ssd, 8gb and i5 and above and you won't regret it

    Spend the extra. Or even go refurb

      It's a horrible machine, 2.5ghz, great but only 6watts… plus slow RAM and slow HDD.

      Spend more and get something in the i range (i3,i5,i7) and get yourself a usable laptop.
      If money is tight, then buy second hand on Gumtree.

      Seriously just wait until 20% off ebay sales and get this for $390

      • dcep on 31/10/2018 - 16:11

        refurb

    • Stevesie76 on 31/10/2018 - 15:14

      And those 3000 series Dells are garbage build quality. Avoid.

    • diamondd on 31/10/2018 - 16:59

      Word? Ewww…

      I installed Linux Mint on one of these for my Mum, runs perfectly.

    Throw an SSD and some RAM at this and you’re laughing.

      For bonus points, if it still feels slow, install Linux. Chromebooks do fine with less.

    If this is for friends and family of Dell employees, then Dell really wants you to be alone.

    I didn't think anybody did pentiums anymore

    • klownvandamn on 31/10/2018 - 15:51

      Pentium MMX

    • geebee on 31/10/2018 - 17:05

      Especially one that is slower than a current Celeron.

      If most of the slow operation is starting up and opening apps it is most likely just a slow HDD.

  • pennypincher98 on 31/10/2018 - 15:48

    That $399 one might be alright if you have a Dell discount code (pops up on classifieds or after purchase).

    4% cashback as well.

    Obviously you are getting what you pay for. Cheap plasticky build quality, average specs and a terrible screen. If you can afford more, you definitely get better value.

    It's 2018, go refurb and get an i5

  • Spikey699 on 31/10/2018 - 17:30

    Is there any other FAF deals with Dell at the moment? :)
