Great value from Costco

Model Number: Inspiron 14Z
"Before I talk about the product I will talk about CostCo. This is the third computer I have bought from CostCo in the past three months. One Dell and two HPs. In all cases, while it is almost impossible to configure an exact apples to apples comparison, I priced very similar computers at the manufacturers website. CostCo was hundreds of dollars cheaper than buying direct from the manufacturer. Having MS Office (which I need) bundled was often a big part of the difference in price. Also, CostCo's various Concierge and Extended Service warranties are a better deal than the manufacturers offer and are highly rated on the Internet. Delivery was every bit as timely.
I'm overall very pleased with my new Dell Inspiron 14Z. It is a very hot computer. I don't much care for the little doors over the USB ports (I might rip them off) and I find the touchpad buttons to be too stiff and clunky. But I was aware of these problems from other reviews before I ordered. Everything else about this computer seems to be very high quality and it is a big improvement over my ancient Dell 1510. The display in particular is excellent."

Fair, but returned

Pros: size/weight, processor speed, concierge service excellent
Cons: touchpad is not good, sound comes and goes
Model Number: 14z
"I used this laptop for a month before returning it. Loved the i5 and the price was excellent.
Reasons for return:
1) Touchpad froze often and had no response to any touch much of the time.
2) Sound went from quiet to loud without touching computer.
3) Another Dell laptop (4 months old) that we have had the hard drive go out at 3 months. While Dell replaced the hard drive, it made me realize I want a different brand for myself.

Not include Software Warranty

Model Number: i17RN-4823BK
"I bought an i17RN laptop from the store. It looks great in display. After the WiFi connection set up at home, everything was working fine. I have my router in 2nd floor but need to use this new one in 1st floor. When I moved the laptop to 1st floor, connection problem cames up. The signal bar was still very strong but could not connect to the router. I have several laptops used in the same location in 1st floor without any issue. I called the Dell Support and described the issue. It seems they know the issue but they ask to pay $119 for software warranty. But this is a factory setup to cause the issue. By the way Dell Support is really bad. When I asked to talk to their manager to describe the situation, they transferred and cut off the line. I have several computers from Dell before and declare I won't buy any product from Dell anymore. I am very disappointed to the Support. They mentioned the laptop from Costco does not have the software warranty. Will return it to Costco and try something else."
