Good picture quality. Nice that you get a digital version. I bought Prometheus, alien and blade runner with some points I had. All the same director. Go figure.

Not much better resolution than last year. But a big bigger. I bought it for my wife. She loves the iPad. The year of Apple TV+ was a super surprise.

Movie is good, BluRay lacks

Verified Purchase:Yes
The movie is great.
Technically, the BluRay is weak. It has trailers that I could not get past. Just a weak interface. The 4K version is clean and starts w the movie.
For the code, I you link Vudu to your moviesanywhere account, vudu gives lots of extra featutes - like a video of shallow.

I'm not sure this is worth installing. Windows defender is getting high marks lately. Too many AV programs cause other problems, so I like to keep it simple.

Get your day started right with this Dell laptop. The moment you open it up, you get impressive detail straight from the 13-inch screen, and then the Intel Core i5 processor kicks in to give plenty of power and rapid loading times. The 8GB of RAM and a long-lasting battery keep this Dell laptop working as hard as you do.

This is the second one of these I bought. They are fast and light. Seems almost good as a macbook pro. For the same size mackbook, this on is a bit lighter and the screen is a bit bigger. There is less wasted space in the bezzel on this one.

With an adjustable internal partition, mesh pouches and 3 external pouches, this Sony LCSU21 case lets you take your camera or camcorder and accessories with you on the go. The shoulder strap makes it easy to transport your gear.

great NB - I bought 2!
on January 6, 2019
Posted by: Chris
from Michigan
I think this is the best NB I've ever had. The black Friday rice was sweet. Crazy good really.
The wi-fi is not the lastest though. I wonder if there is an update for this. I bought two of these and a 2-in-1 on black Friday. The 2-in-1 is an i5 gen 8 (this one is gen 7). The wi-fi card in that one screams. 2x as fast as this one on the same network. Somehow faster than my rated speed. I get 75 on the 2-in-1. About 40 on this one. If someone knows of a wi-fi card for this one, please post a comment. This type of case isn't the easiest to open, but I did it on an older one to add the SSD. The wi-fi is right there.
I wonder if a keyboard with backlighing is possible to swap out too?

Not what I was expecting
By Brenda from Denver, CO, USA
I bought this laptop for my sister since she's starting college in fall semester. We were looking for something with decent specs and would last her for at least 4 years. For a sale value of $399 ($200 off from an original price of $599) with an Intel core i5 processor, 8GB RAM, and a 256 GB SSD it seems like a steal! And within about roughly 20 minutes of unboxing and messing around with the laptop we quickly returned it to the store and bought a different laptop. This product was not on display at Best Buy, if it was I don't think we would have bought it.
Let me break it down, this laptop was probably never originally at $599. The biggest con for me was the built material. For $399 I wasn't expecting something spectacular, but I expected something made from better quality plastics especially since it was originally $599. The overall plastic felt cheap and remind me of a laptop I bought years ago that started cracking at about a year and half of owning it. The touchpad is not good, and the speakers are terrible. Usually laptop speakers are layout on top of the keyboard near the hinges, but these were at the bottom. With speakers on the bottom everything kind of sound muffled.
Anyways I gave 2 stars since Best Buy service is good, we bought this on Black Friday at doorbusters time, so it was a lot of waiting in line. However, the Best Buy we went to seem know how to handle Black Friday shoppers well so kudos to them! But I wish they put this laptop on display, so we didn't have to waste time unboxing and returning it.
I don't recommend buying this. Save your money, spend an extra $100 or $200 and buy another laptop with similar specs made from better quality materials. It's 2018 (almost 2019) laptops are getting better and cheaper, $399 is too much for a laptop with poor built quality. I'm also a picky person, and some people on here seem to like this product so you can go try this out and return it if you don't like it.
P.S. If you're curious, my sister and I end up buying the HP x360 2 in 1 instead. I have an older model of this HP for almost 2 years now and it works and is built well.

This is the best laptop I've ever had. I bought two. Should have bought a 3rd. Every 100-200 counts to me.

Windows 10 Activation kills the deal
By Magneto
Alright-- this was a Thanksgiving gift from my wife. It looked like a good deal and the specs are ok for the price. The keyboard can be better. The lack of simple light indicators stump me. How much did they save? However, the biggest problem is that it keeps saying that my copy of Window 10 is not genuine and when I go to the settings, it says the product key is not valid. I am a Prof and am quite tech savvy and can solve this problem but I fear for someone who just does not want to jump through so many hoops on a new product. I mean this is a NEW product. This is simply not on. This is my 5th Dell computer and I am very disappointed at the lack of common sense displayed here. I am copying below the address where anyone facing the same problem needs to go. You need to update the software directly. It should work with the particular error code associated with this idiocy.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
I hope this helps. And Dell, even my freshmen students will display better quality control than you guys.

Worth every penny. You may not find such a deal
By Praveen from Georgia
I bough this few days back when it was on Black Friday pre-sale.
I have done a good research before finalizing this deal, You wont find equal or better configuration for this same price of $399.
Getting 7th Gen i5 processor with 8GB Ram and 256GB SSD is very rare.
It is lightning fast in its category. Fast boot up because of SSD.
Very responsive touch screen.
Just the below few things could have been better:
No 5Ghz Wifi- They should have added that.
The form factor could have been more stylish.
They should have reduced the weight of this PC.
But none of the above were deal breakers for me. I bought this for my wife who has very limited use like mostly on office products, some music, movies and casual browsing etc. for which is more than enough.
Overall a good buy.
