I've had a Dell since 2009 and it's still working. Used for up/downloading =
panels, starlink connect programing, Ubiquity access  points, Home theater =
remote control programing, CCTV NVR programing etc for all those years. Rep=
laced the hard drive once as preventive maintenance and the standby battery=
 once. the figures are just about worn off of the keys after all these year=
s.

Just up graded to a Dell notebook from Costco. But, once I got it home, I r=
ealized that the screen was too small for these weary eyes so with the 90 d=
ay return policy, I retuned it and for $100.00 more I got a laptop with a 1=
7 inch display. It's big and heavier than the notebook but still fits in my=
 case and I only use it for work. New Laptop has a built in DVD record/play=
back and a couple of more USB ports. Had to get the wireless mouse though. =
I couldn't get the touch pad adjusted to respond like my old one. The old l=
aptop had a touchpad and a left and right button. The new one doesn't have =
buttons and the "tap" response isn't that good. I'm still in the process of=
 transferring data from the old to the new and loading apps. It's really fa=
st and the video resolution is great.=20

Hope I don't have any problems. I got the 3 year extended warranty.
