Question: Does this laptop support extended desktop by plugging a monitor into it using the HDMI connection?
Document: It only had a Hemi connection for the dual monitor. The Dell monitor I purchased did not. an adapter was required at $40
Windows 8. I wish it came with the pro version but I can upgrade that later3. The screen, I have yet to find a laptop monitor the looks as good as a desktop and this is no different. It still is acceptable.Overall:Great laptop for a person who is ready to let go of the desktop permanently. I do wish it had an option for a full fledged docking station but, at this price point (879 as equipped that's asking a bit much)
There was no manual with the laptop. Not knowing anything about Windows 8 made it hard to get started and find everything within the computer. I dislike that the fan seems to run all the time while I am using the machine and the mouse seems to go crazy every now and then when being used. I have purchased a wireless mouse which helps. Otherwise, the size of the monitor is great. Overall I like the model.
I have been using this laptop on the daily basis for about 5 months now and couldn't be happier with this purchase. It's fast, battery life is good,  silent and not heavy at all. I am a online student and this laptop is perfect for all my needs.
Before I purchased this one from Amazon, I replaced my desktop computer with a very similar Dell Inspiron that I purchased off of Craigslist from someone that found it was just too big and heavy to be lugging around as a laptop. I killed that one by accidentally spilling a bottle of PowerAde all over it (PowerAde doesn't give more power to computers :-))  So, obviously I like the computer, since I've purchased it twice.
After having a home computer for over 6 years the old computer finally needed replacing, & I decided to go the way of a laptop for a new one. For what I was looking for this one matched what I wanted for the price I could afford. So far I couldn't be happier. I had to get used to Windows 8, but it didn't take long to figure out how it works. I actually really like it because you can go between the "Start" page & a regular desktop screen.
I bought this laptop for myself in preparation of starting online college. There were a few issues with the default settings for the laptop that were a little irritating. For example, the wireless connection would drop out randomly. Come to find out that it was set to disconnect if power use gets too high. It is a setting that is easily changed but why would they make that the default? Kind of silly.
It have nice display capability and compatibility, good for everyday use also because I use it like 7-10 hours non stop.Even when I use it for gaming which is 3 - 5 hours it still ok.However the fan is pretty noisy that I choose to buy cooler to support it.That is why I choose Dell,they are really produce credible pc and laptop.
May 5 Update: Dell Support was very helpful with a quick solution to upgrade the BIOS on the laptop. One that was complete, it became a nice quiet laptop that fully meets my hardware needs. Windows 8, however, I still do not like, but that is not what I'm reviewing here.Original post:I like everything about this laptop (not counting Windows 8 which, so far, I do not like) except for its fan noise.
Had 2 months..Computer blacks out and cannot get screen back unless I unplug, take out battery and restart....Support was useless..wants me to pay for service contract. NEVER BUY DELL AGAIN.
Answer: Yes, we hook up our TV (big monitor) to watch Hulu and Netflix with the HDMI.  The desktop appears on the big screen. There are some settings you can play with to extend your desktop or just duplicate what is on the main screen.
