Q: I know this computer has a touch screen, but can I also use a mouse to navigate?
A: Yes you can use a USB mouse, even a wireless usb
Q: Does this computer have enough ram to download and play steam games?
A: Steam games are not advisable. The hot water vapor would likely cause electrical issues and void the warranty.
Q: When did this laptop come out
A: A quick Google search confirmed that it was released on 10/26/2015
Q: Does this computer have a CD/DVD drive?
A: Yes, the laptop does have a cd/dvd drive.
A: The keyboard of the Dell Inspiron 15.6 Touch-Screen Laptop is not backlit.
A: In my opinion, no it is not good for games based on the specs. You need at least the i5 processor. I7 processor is preferred along with a bit more memory. If you strictly want it for gaming, you need to almost double the price of your device at a minimum. I7 processor with 12-16 gb of ram, possibly a solid state hard drive or hybrid version. That will last you a while. I feel that this machine would only cause you regret down the road. Spend more up front, especially for gaming and you will enjoy it a lot longer.
Q: Does this computer have a Microphone or just Webcam?
A: This product has both features.
A: My laptop came with 2x4GB sticks, while at least one other person said theirs came with 1x8GB. This laptop has two slots that are easily accessible from the back panel and can be expanded to 16GB.
