I went with Dell because my previous laptop was of the same brand and it did not trouble me and helped me sail through undergrad. This time it was a Mac vs Windows choice for me but I went with Windows because of its better compatibility with enterprise software which would come handy in Grad School. My initial purchase from Best Buy turned out to be faulty and had to be replaced, a process which was smooth overall. Been using the machine for over few days and it does all the basic stuff well. Even though it is i7 8th Gen and 16GB RAM, I don't think the processing and speed machine justifies it. Even the battery life is a bit disappointing. Nonetheless, it is bang for the buck just over 1000 bucks with the features it provides. Detailed review after extensive review after a month or so will be posted.

I bought this laptop in September of 2018 for my college use. I would say this laptop is amazing, the specs, only if you can have power connected to it 24/7. No issues for the whole 1 year but after the warranty expired the battery capacity dropped rapidly. My battery charge capacity has dropped from 35,105mWh to 16,963 mWh in just a 1.5-year time frame with moderate use. I have bought two of these models, and both facing the same problem at the same time. The battery drains in about 15 minutes if I'm using it in a classroom. A friend of mine has a laptop (different brand) which he bought at about the same time I did and has no issue with it, whereas I'm sitting close to the wall ports all the time with my charger out. I expected the battery to perform a little better and not dying this soon. I don't expect it to be the best, but at least get me through my classes.

Laptop performance is great. It would be better if the battery life would be improved.
