    I have buyers remorse. To be fair this was an open box dell, but there have been minor issues with the screeb flasging white, rebooting and a few other performance issues. Running blender it sounds like its about to explode. The computer itself is heavy and the battery is also very heavy. It works and I'm grateful to have a new compiter but if i were to get a do-over i would get something more like a laptop.
