Does the job well
I use this for a mobile audio recording and mastering DAW. Enough room on the SDD for Win 10 and all of my applications and plugs. Plenty of power in every aspect to deal with the demand. The Thunderbolt 3 port is a serious plus for linking to external sound devices.

Large screen and fast response for designing
When considering a computer that had enough storage and great resolution capabilities, this computer has met that requirement. Having the larger screen for design and presentation, is a real plus. The touch of the keyboard is smooth. I would recommend this computer to any designer using any design program for cabinetry.

A great value but could be better
I bought this laptop for developing software so the graphics card is wasted on me. The CPU is very fast and it has great battery life for the price. It also supports connecting to a docking station via the USB-C Thunderbolt connector for power/video/audio/mouse/keyboard; I haven't bought the docking station yet because it's $400. What's disappointing with this laptop is that Dell didn't install the dual drives correctly. The 120 GB SSD is where all your applications are installed which fills up very fast; I was 80% full after installing my necessities. The 1 TB HDD is just a Data (D:) drive. I used EaseUS to move everything over to the HDD and then set up the SSD as a cache drive. Windows and all my applications still load really fast, and I have a lot more space for applications.

Battery life isn't great
Seems like a perfectly fine computer. It's made for gaming but I bought it for the screen size, not it's gaming capability. My only complaint so far (I haven't used it much) is that the battery life seems pretty poor. I have to keep it plugged in if I plan to use it for more than an hour at a time. I imagine gaming features would drain the battery even faster than just surfing the web.

Great Gaming PC
Great PC for gaming or BIM work. Runs a little hot but taken care of with stand. Don't like the touch pad not having spots for buttons that don't also move the mouse point but generally on a mouse so not a big deal.
