    The gaming laptop is solid! I work a blue collar job so I travel a bit and its been through some rough times and still runs strong. The gaming experience is also great, I have lots of fun with it. Highly recommended!!!

    Not able to upgrade memory. Not enough USB-A ports

    Pretty decent PC. It's unfortunate the memory cannot be upgraded as (apparently) it is soldered to the motherboard. It's also unfortunate there is only ONE USB-A port, but there's 2 USB-C ports. No SD card slot, but there's a MICRO-SD slot? It was hard enough not losing the SD cards, it's going to be impossible to not lose the Micro-SDs! I realize it's not a Business PC, but it would be nice to have the ability to plug in more than one USB-A devices. Given these limitations, I would not recommend this PC, sorry.

    Don't buy used from Best Buy.

    Absolutely terrible experience buying an 'excellent' used item from Best Buy. The day after I took this home, it had critical fan and hard drive errors. Best Buy would not allow me to return or support since I bought used, saying that the warranty they claim is Dell's warranty (misleading). Had to work with Dell which was time consuming and inefficient, sent in the laptop for repair, and it is still unusable. In fact, the entire hard drive is corrupt and computer won't even start.

    Was told the only reason this was listed in fair condition was because it did not have a charger. I purchased a charger and found that two of the fans were broken and needed to be replaced. I went back to the store and they told me that is “probably why it was listed as fair and offered to exchange it for a compatible laptop I would just have to pay the difference in price the cheapest being over $1,000. Fortunately Dell has some of the best customer service and took care of everything.
