Wi-Fi Issues
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good laptop except the Media Tek Wi-Fi adapter that is installed does not have good range and drops the Wi-Fi connection frequently. I am debating on whether to return this laptop. If you stay close to your router it seems to work. If you get further away and your signal strength is 1 or 2 bars then you have trouble. I have a 7 year old Dell that I can sit next to this one and it picks up the wifi strong, but this laptop will struggle. Best Buy has 2 versions of this laptop: this one is the 7435 with the AMD processor; and the other version is the 7430 with the Intel Processor. The 7430 looks to have an Intel Wi-Fi adapter. I would probably go with that one as I have a very similar Dell for work with an Intel adapter and I do not have Wi-Fi issues (it also had and AMD Processor which is why I choose the 7435). I have purchased 4 Dell laptops for work (all similar specs, all from Best Buy) over the last 2 years and have always been happy. This time I was buying for my personal use and am very disappointed. Murphy’s law I guess - very frustrating.

L key doesn't work right, good laptop either way
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Computer is fast and responsive, I would recommend this as a budget laptop, the only flaw is that when I try and press the "L" key it either takes to clicks to work, or when you press it once it does 2 L's instead of just one, other than that I recommendthis

Geek Squad helped with screen brightness problem.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Agent was very helpful and clear. I went with a problem about new laptop brightness not being enough. Agent reviewed settings and did not find any issue. Agent mentioned that the brightness automatically reduced when on battery and was kind enough to allow me to compare the product brightness with the other laptops on display. I was then able to determine that this laptop had no problem and was actually brighter than several other laptops. Because of their help in determining that there is no problem with laptop screen, I don't need to return it anymore.

Bought protection plan but doesn't cover software
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought a 2 year protection plan when I bought a Dell Inspiron last December. I recently had a problem start where Windows update didn't complete, an error message comes up, and Windows never starts. I took the computer to Best Buy and they said that Windows needs to be reinstalled, but the protection plan doesn't cover software problems. There is a separate protection plan to cover software issues, which costs more than the Geek Squad protection plan. This distinction was never clear when I bought the computer and protection plan. Explore your options before buying.

Joy Systems with Best Buy provided great service

Referb dell laptop from joysystems
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The joysystems dell laptop purchased through best buy arrived fast and has no physical defects. I was well packaged. I do wish there was mention on the description that the fingerprint reader and the camera were not compatible with windows 11 hello sign in features. Seems to be a very expensive computer for these functions not to work.

GS Protection and Replacement NOT Equal
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Make sure you know which option you are buying. Geek Squad Protection is not the same as Geek Squad Replacement. The protection plan really isn't worth it. Usually laptops and camera equipment only get protection and not replacement. Protection will only give out a replacement in the unlikely event you have the same issues numerous times.

Good but overheats quickly!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Extremely fast PC. I am not normally a fan of HP anything, but this PC is very well built, except for one issue. The way the venting system is set up, it seems as though it overheats easily. My CPU fan seems to kick into overdrive without very much going on. It seems as though they could have built a more powerful cooling system for as much power as they pack into the CPU and GPU. I am working to rectify that as I just purchased a cooling pad. Hopefully that helps. The air intake being on the very bottom of the laptop doesn't help of course.

Piece of GARBAGE
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First off, the laptop was fantastic to start. It played the games I wanted, I was never rough with it. It lived in its travel case when not in use. Lots of padding and protection and never dropped. 6 months after buying it, my wife and I are sitting in the living room watching movies on it. Put it away and go to bed and the next day it bricks itself. I have device insurance. I spent 2700$ on the model I have with 64gb ram. It initially got stuck in a BIOS loop trying to auto update. Let it run and it keeps restarting. Finally it just goes full black screen, no post, nothing. Just those pretty RGB keyboard and case lights. Take it to a repair shop because again, device protection. Brand new laptop. They tell me it's so new they cant even get the replacement part. Which is the motherboard. Thats right, the motherboard up and ate itself. Currently in the process of replace or reimbursement through device protection. Ill take the reimbursement. I dont need this headache in my life. I certainly dont want another laptop that randomly eats its own motherboard. To recap. I treated this thing with kids gloves for the time I owned it. I didnt mess with any settings in the bios or add more RAM or mess with the guts. The thing just went kaput.

Excellent Performance
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop is everything that I expected. The screen is crystal clear just as everyone rants about so I was very pleased with that. It takes a few minutes to get accustomed to the function keys setup, but it's not a big deal as every laptop has it's own characteristics. When turning the brightness up or down on the keyboard you can't see the changes until you release the function key FYI. It's blazing fast and best of all it's future proof due to the RAM and memory being upgrade-able. I got rid of a Macbook Pro 16 for this machine and I don't regret it one bit.

Worth paying for.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great service. Definitely worth the money. My ipad screen broke. I brought it in, but they didnt have the same one. It worked out though, cause i recieved a free upgrade to a better one! The same thing happened with my TV. The screen malfunctioned and since they couldnt fix it, i recieved a gift card for the price i paid for it almost a year later.

Great deal for the price.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking on buying a laptop for college, I was about to purchase the most expensive 13" mcbook pro until I found this laptop. I compared the specs and the MSI GS66 had waaay better specs than the mcbook pro and it was waaay cheaper. Glad I found this laptop before buying the mcbook, otherwise I would be regreting it right now. I tried downloading a game (Valorant) and I was getting around 200 FPS using the best settings (which is a lot) and I didnt even have to overclock the laptop.

Best laptop I’ve had yet
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had everything from Acer netbooks back in the day all the way to MacBook Pros and I have to say this is the most well-balanced most efficient laptop I’ve ever had. It might not be perfect, but closest thing I’ve had yet.

It's just a great laptop
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Soft keyboard, not heavy, speed is excellent. Also the amount of memory is a direct joy, it's really great. And of course the price of the product is undeniably delightful. I am very happy with my purchase and will definitely be shopping at Best Buy again.
