I don't use the internet for work anymore, I'm retired.  But I wanted a backlit keyboard (woo hoo) without paying $1,000 and decent memory to play simple computer games.  This cost about $100 more than I wanted to spend too.My $250 -- approx 9 month old Dell is JUNK. The key letters wore off at about month 5, and after the 1st update, it lacked memory for the 2nd Windows UPDATE.  The Dell website did NOT disclose that it was OUTDATED MODEL.So I came to Amazon, because I could look at the top 40 selling list and see what other people, based on their knowledge and research, were purchasing.  THAT IS HOW I SELECTED THIS LAP TOP.Out of the box -- plug it in, plugged into my ethernet cable1st challenge -- turn off Microsoft S Setting so I could install programs NOT in MS store2nd challenge -- junk programs that I did NOT ask for -- remove xbox and MS Office, etc.3rd irritation -- stickers on the panel near touch screen & keypad left STICKY STUFF right where my wrist rests.  I imagine rubbing alcohol may damage the paint so it may take me MONTHS to remove this sticker mess residue. MAJOR IRRITATIONSet up -- out of box set up, plugged into ethernet -- took roughly 10 to 20 minutes -- but I'm not a techie and I needed to find my Windows account information and passwords to add my Google Mail.  So if you have existing MS Account get that from your settings on MS Edge / Explorer before you begin. Ditto for Apple account etc.Speed -- wow so much nicer than the comparable priced OUT of date Dell that I've had the past yearKeyboard -- love the back light ( BIG ^5) AND it is farther apart on keys but I'm adjusting.  I thought I'd not like the 10 key on end but I don't notice it.Updates -- so far no major Windows Updates have been neededFirst impression, I am very pleased. It will take a few weeks to get all the settings like my old computer and get all the account passwords transferred to this computer. I thought when I logged onto my Google Account that it would do that -- maybe I've missed that step.INTERNET SUGGESTION FOR SET UP -- Be sure to give your computer a UNIQUE DEVICE NAME on your internet service provider as you set that up.  My technical support advised me yesterday that was potentially one of my problems that I was having FYI.NOTE - WHY CABLE VERSUS WIRELESS -- I used ethernet cable so did not do wireless at ALL on the set up.  There are 20 modems with 5G within reach of this laptop -- it weakens the signal for me to use wireless inside my apartment per Sparklight technical support.UPDATE July 5th -- I keep loosing the SOUND -- I've reset the settings 3 times already to restore the SOUND -- this is why Microsoft should not be a monopoly (Update#3 so far, now the sound is here all the time YEAH ME)UPDATE Dec -- the ethernet  / folding socket has a "spring" to expand it for the cord, right? so... it is annoying as the dickens to be in the middle of being on line and the CORD COMES UNCLICKED so EASILY!! I am replacing my cord and upgrading it -- but just FYI that feature seems to be a defective design flaw. (left side view, next to the power socket)
