These 8GB flashdrives are great for a number of uses. Good for data storage, and also a good size for keeping different Linux distro iso's. At Best Buy's sale price, I bought several. Received shipping on items within a week; free shipping. Also applied my rewards points for even more money off. Can't beat shopping at Best Buy.

I have not used this flashdrive, yet. The price was too good to pass up, even though I don't have an immediate purpose for it. This brand has always performed perfectly for me

SanDisk brand flash drives have never failed me, even though a different brand new one did. I also like the availability of different colors to quickly identify a specific flash drive. The clip comes in handy to attach it to a hook or key chain, etc. The mounting end is plastic, if that is important to you. If speed isn't an issue, the 2.0 is cheaper than the 3.0 drives. 16 GB is usually enough to make Windows Recovery USBs. SanDisk also plays well with Linux Mint.

I like the SanDisk brand, which has never failed me as another brand did, even though new. None of my SanDisk usb drives have failed to date. I also like the choice of different colors to easily differentiate them. The removable clip is a nice feature, allowing me to hang it up, in sight. I chose the 16 GB drive as that is enough to contain the recovery drive for most Windows systems. If a speedier 3.0 isn't necessary, this 2.0 is a better price point. The mounting end is plastic instead of metal, if that has any importance to you. SanDisk works well in Linux Mint also.

I bought a Netgear extender previously, which worked for a few months, but when I had to replace my modem/router, it would not reset and recognize the new one. This TP-Link extender works just as well, was easier to set up, and cost half as much. I have not yet had to reset it to a new modem/router, so I can't answer to that situation, at this time. I'm very satisfied with this device in any case, as it does the job, easy to use, and saved me money. And for what it's worth, it's more attractive.

I've purchased different computer brands for friends and family over the years. ASUS, Lenovo, were the latest. This Dell, although a tiny bit heavier, seems to be a little better quality than the lighter ASUS and Lenovo machines. Also, the touchpad works more smoothly. To be entirely fair, I did pay more for the Dell than the other two brands, which I thought were great buys for their prices, too. All these mentioned were purchased at Best Buy for great prices, and all are still going strong.

The first purchase was so well liked and performed so well that we ordered this one and shipped it to another family member. It comes with Windows 10 but it also is great with Linux Mint OS. Well worth the sale price during the Black Friday event.

I was mistaken in thinking these disks had enough space, (data storage capability), for my needs. I should have chosen DVDs instead. As they were unopened, I returned the CDs for a full refund, and will purchase DVDs when I run out of what I have on hand.

I use the 32 GB flashdrives to backup my data. Easy to use, too.
I used these flashdrives, (16 GB), to make drives for Windows operating systems before removing them to install Linux Mint. I also am using them burning the ISOs for live Linux bootable usb drives.

Does the keyboard have "back lighting". In other words, is there lighting under the keys so that you can see the keyboard easier?

No it does not have backlit keyboard. I bought two of these computers; Dell Inspiron 3558, 15 3000 series. Both work very well.

max distance from router that this will work

I can't say what the max distance would be, but I can describe how I'm using the device. My modem/router is about 50' unobstructed to a metal camper and metal utility trailer. There are laptops in each. The problem was in the utility trailer. The door of the trailer faced away from the router, so I used this device about 45' from the router, with antennas toward the door of utility trailer. Worked great. Now have good strong wifi signal for those laptops. (I use the utility trailer as an office.)

Use the HDMI output to connect to your HDTV for giving presentations and more. The 1TB hard drive allows you to house plenty of videos, photos, music and other files.
 

Is 4gb a lot of storage?

4gb ram relates more to online web page loading. 6gb, 8gb, 16gb ram machines each increase in speed and amounts of multiple web page loading, respectively. The amount of storage relates to the 1tb capacity, which is where the document data, photos, videos, and movies are stored on the machine. That's usually plenty of storage for the normal user.
Basically, 4gb ram is just average.

how do you enter the bios

how do you enter the bios
Shut down machine. Hit the button to power up, and immediately push the function key and keep tapping the f2 key. That should load the set up screen, and into BIOS. If Windows loads, you have not succeeded. To try again, repeat the above steps. On some machines, it's the f1 key, and on others it can be the f12 key. The trick is tapping the right key as quickly as you power up the machine. Too late, and you wind up going into Windows.
