Dell - Inspiron 15.6" Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 - 1TB + 8GB Hybrid Hard Drive - Black

Ok so this can play most current gen games on mid to high graphics. Screen size is debatable. This laptop is perfect for college students who want to play games between classes or who want to have something to play when at a friend's house. For the price is nice for what you get. You can always buy a Solid State to improve the laptop and more ram, but out of the box this is fine to use if you do not really care for start up time and window load times. Many other reviews seem more critical but the honest truth is that if you have a budget for gaming laptops this would be a fine starter for many people.

Although this is considered a "low end" gaming laptop, I have heard from a tech friend that this is better than his AlienWare gaming computer. I love that it is backlit, and never thought I would like Windows 10, but find it easier to organize things. It has enough RAM to power my games, and love the Nvidia graphics compared to most "on board" graphics in other laptops. The only thing I would say that is a slight negative, is that it doesn't have a DVD/CD drive. Otherwise, this laptop gives you great BANG FOR THE BUCK!

I like my computer it works really well and it is fast

Performance wise, this is a great laptop, it covered everything I needed. HOWEVER, I have had a multitude of problems since day one. In fact, I had only had it for less than an hour before I had to return it because there were so many driver issues. The Second one is not fairing much better, because every time I close the lid and reopen it, there is a pattern that pops up on the screen and the only way I have found to get rid of the screen pictured below is to power cycle the laptop (press and hold the power button until it completely turns off, not just sleeps). I looked up online and it seems I am not the only one that is having this problem with Dell Products. I tried updating display drivers, but no luck. Good thing I bought the warranty, because this is going straight to Geek Squad. I will update this Review if the problem is solved.

It handles everything I need it to, great memory and never fails me.

The Dell Inspiron 15.6" laptop is a wonderful gaming device! The size of the screen is perfect for any game. It's extremely easy to use and easy to access answers to any questions you might have. It's got all the bells and whistles! I've thoroughly enjoyed using it and would recommend it to anybody from beginner on up.

I got this computer open box for $599 for my 7 year old son who loves to watch gamers on youtube. We also picked up a mouse and a steam gift card, and downloaded 5 games he's seen his favorite youtubers play. This is definitely his most prized possession now! He chooses playing on his new gaming laptop over his xbox one s, ps4, snes classic, and ipad. I'm a apple fanboy for life, so there's a bit of a learning curve for me getting around, but my boy seems really comfortable with the windows os. I didn't give it 5 stars due to the fan that seemed a little loud. I'm no stranger to loud fans, but if you're looking for a machine that's dead quiet when the processor is under strain, this isn't it. BUT... i don't think anyone shopping in this price point is looking for absolute perfection. Also, I'm not a fan of the matte screen. Fortunately, I found a thread on reddit that provides upgrade options for a glossy hi res screen. The power supply is a bit clunky, but I assume that's a pc thing. Not sure if this machine is super heavy, or I'm just used to Macs that are super light, but I'm hoping an ssd and a few mods might drop a little weight. I'm looking forward to bonding with my boy and making this his project machine; pulling it apart to upgrade the specs in a few years. Edit: I went back and gave this computer 5 stars. You get what you pay for and so far this machine hasn't disappointed us. If i thought it was only 80% of what I was looking for, I should've left it in the store. Thankfully, my kid is 100% happy with it.

This laptop is great. The red accents on the keyboard really stand out... The graphics card makes games 10x as thrilling and all around entertaining!!
