neo1911 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Keep it. The price you got it for seems just about right. Even if it feels like it's over specced, it will serve you we'll for next 4-5 years. It will also run Windows 10 just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassiebrighton Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Hey banned hun So you feel it is good value for money at the price I got it at? $440 including taxes and shipping. What is the difference between Windows 8 and Windows 10? Hugs, Cass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted December 12, 2014 Moderator Share Posted December 12, 2014 Just use a USB/Wireless keyboard, easy. There's a lot of differences. Windows 10 isn't out for retail yet. Be mid next year. But you can upgrade to it when it gets out, no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aergan Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 My Mrs is happy with her Dell Inspiron 15 (2014, 4th generation Intel i3) that was bought in October for her University course. The battery was only lasting up to 3 hours, so I replaced the WD 500GB HDD with an Intel 120GB SSD. It's now lasting up to around 8 hours for her studies and has a dramatically better user experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aergan Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Was it a 5400 drive? Yes, Western Digital Blue 500GB WD5000LPVX. Not all bad though, it's serving the rest of its sentence well as my non-critical backup drive via a Verbatim USB 3.0 Caddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
