I use very expensive software that can only operate on Windows XP or older systems. Also needs to be a 32bit system as well. It is a life saver that these folks are out there keeping us in business. If I had to upgrade my software so it could operate on newer operating systems I would have to go out of business. Thanks to microsoft, their planned obsolesce is designed to keep only large and well funded businesses in the black. I understand that if something works very well that the only way to continue to make money with your product is to cause that product to be obsolete therefore requiring businesses and people to spend more money on a product they didn't need but are forced to purchase. In the words of a major loony tune character of recent memory..."If you like your software, you can keep your software."Read full review

DVD Optical drive could not read a CD. Ordered another used (tested?) drive on e-bay, and it could see the cd but would not read it after trying for 10 minutes. Purchased and connected an external USB optical drive and it read the same CD perfectly. So, I left it attached. Obviously, np one tested the CD/DVD drive.

I am a Ham Radio operator. I needed a laptop with DOS and a serial port to operate some older programs. This Dell fit the need. It is clean, new battery, serial port, running XP. With a one year warranty. The programs would not run using a USB TO RS232.CONVERTER.

I'll admit, upon opening I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but what I got was a laptop in fine condition, battery has a long life, boots up well and things such as the sound and display work perfectly. However I will say that the mouse began to move on it's own...however, I should be able to fix that. Overall it definitely brings back fond memories, and I'll HAVE to get another eventually, for a machine running an older OS, it works like new. Thank you!

I have a 12 year old Epson 9600 printer. It can only be driven on Windows XP so I'm hooked on older computer. This laptop runs it perfectly. so far so good. Set was easy and it runs the printer very well.

Totally impressed! It's hard to beat the price, considering the features. Granted, the graphics aren't good enough to watch movies on, but it is still exactly what I was looking for, and then some. I have 2 electronic keyboards that I use on stage, each costing about $1200, and I recently found out that the software to run them does not support anything beyond Windows 98. (The company has no intention of updating the software, because they no longer sell that model keyboard.) Meanwhile, all of my computers were forcibly updated to Windows 7 or Windows 10. (Thanks, Microsoft.) All of my written keyboard patches that I use during the shows are at risk to be lost, if I can't save them on the computer. If they are lost, the show (and the band) are probably over, because I don't have months of free time to re-write them all. Anyway, you guys saved my bacon. I'm almost tempted to order another one. These would be great for a started computer, or as a backup. I had no idea they would be wireless capable, or that there would be a working DVD player/burner. The power cords and the batteries are new. The condition of the laptop is quite good. You really can't beat this deal.Read full review
