Why should I buy an expensive computer when I can have this for a small price! This computer is excellent and it outperforms my newer Inspiron 11 (3152) in performance. The laptop looks and works great. I installed an 8Gb RAM module that I had sitting in a drawer and now I have a 16GB RAM machine. The back shows some wear (I don't care, I don't look on the back anyway) but the palmrest looks brand new. I don't care it is not touch, but, as my little daughter says "touch screens are for tablets and phones". I Will never buy a new computer again.
