Heavy, big, outdated.

I don't like this computer very much. I didn't have a choice, that's what work gave me. It's too big, heavy and the power adapter is ridiculous. This also applies to the maximum carry-on size, so traveling with it is a real problem. Pros - Wearing this at the airport eliminates the need to go to the gym

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Not everything is as good as it says

My type of laptop, big, heavy and rebuilt

The one I have has a 3.6 gigabyte Intel T9900 and I've upgraded the RAM to 16 gigabytes. Equipped with 2-256 GIG SSD Dual Boot Win-10 and Ubuntu 16.04LTS. This is the fastest laptop I've seen in a long time. And the Hi-Def monitor is perfect. One of the cautions about used workstations is to disassemble the cooler, clean it, and reinstall it with new thermal grease. For those who have operational issues, I would suggest installing a clean operating system first. There were issues with cloned…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • For old

Garbage. Stay away from second-hand sellers Revain

Rubbish. Buyer Warning. I haven't had that shit in a long time and it's dead. Bought for RAM and screwed up. Garbage. Stay away from secondary Revain sellers! Those grocers screwed it up for the third time. Revine will help, but not much. I am writing from my iPad so please excuse the brevity and variability of this review.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Not bad

Sturdy but quite old

This is a very good take on an old Dell workstation. The graphics are good. The hard drive is a bit small by today's standards, but it's easily replaced with SATA. Please note that Dell has not released any discs that would allow this machine to be used with Win10. The weakest point is of course the processor. Although this is a workstation, the dual-core processor is significantly slower than even the average I3 processor available in today's machines. Also, I'm a little wary of buying used…

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • Negative

Hidden Gem in the Computers & Accessories Category

This laptop model is a hidden gem. Its features, design, and upgrade options make it a much better product than a new laptop, especially for those who know their software and components. I upgraded the processor, installed Windows 10. Great machine for my purposes. The price is amazing, the seller is very helpful and responsive, the computer arrived in perfect condition. Thank you!

Pros
  • Finally Understood
Cons
  • Big and Chunky

Disappointing for computers and tablets

Very dissatisfied. This is an updated old model. Not sure if the weight is listed but it's quite heavy compared to newer models. There seem to be a number of crashes which I believe are somehow related to the OS not "cleaning up" properly. The screen is far from bright, even on the highest settings. It was inexpensive and intended to be used as a backup computer. I wouldn't recommend it for everyday use. If I could return this item I would.

Pros
  • Normal price
Cons
  • I will say nothing
