Does the job well
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this for a mobile audio recording and mastering DAW. Enough room on the SDD for Win 10 and all of my applications and plugs. Plenty of power in every aspect to deal with the demand. The Thunderbolt 3 port is a serious plus for linking to external sound devices.

Large screen and fast response for designing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When considering a computer that had enough storage and great resolution capabilities, this computer has met that requirement. Having the larger screen for design and presentation, is a real plus. The touch of the keyboard is smooth. I would recommend this computer to any designer using any design program for cabinetry.

A great value but could be better
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this laptop for developing software so the graphics card is wasted on me. The CPU is very fast and it has great battery life for the price. It also supports connecting to a docking station via the USB-C Thunderbolt connector for power/video/audio/mouse/keyboard; I haven't bought the docking station yet because it's $400. What's disappointing with this laptop is that Dell didn't install the dual drives correctly. The 120 GB SSD is where all your applications are installed which fills up very fast; I was 80% full after installing my necessities. The 1 TB HDD is just a Data (D:) drive. I used EaseUS to move everything over to the HDD and then set up the SSD as a cache drive. Windows and all my applications still load really fast, and I have a lot more space for applications.

Battery life isn't great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Seems like a perfectly fine computer. It's made for gaming but I bought it for the screen size, not it's gaming capability. My only complaint so far (I haven't used it much) is that the battery life seems pretty poor. I have to keep it plugged in if I plan to use it for more than an hour at a time. I imagine gaming features would drain the battery even faster than just surfing the web.

Great Gaming PC
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great PC for gaming or BIM work. Runs a little hot but taken care of with stand. Don't like the touch pad not having spots for buttons that don't also move the mouse point but generally on a mouse so not a big deal.

The tracking pad is not working 1 year later
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall I have liked this computer. I do a lot of photo processing and design on here and the speed is great. It is a heavy laptop but the major problem I have is that the tracking pad is not working correctly anymore. In order to scroll or select or move up and down on a page, I have to use extreme pressure to get the tracking pad to even recognize my finger is touching it. This just "went out" at the year mark. Coincidence?

Posted .JoJo,
We're sorry to hear that your touchpad is no longer working properly. Here are the steps to re-calibrate your touchpad:
Some Notebooks and Tablets with Keyboards have added gesture features to the touchpad hardware and drivers. A few of these features are two or three finger scrolling, pinch zoom, circle zoom, rotate and swiping. These new features may be the reason for the erratic cursor movement since most are turned on by default. You can disable or modify the way the features work in the touchpad driver properties. Here are some tips to modify these settings:
1. In the Search box, type main.cpl.
2. Touch or click main.cpl in the list of programs.
3. Touch or click the Dell Touchpad tab.
4. Touch or click on the picture of the touchpad.
5. Touch or click Gestures (depending on your computer there may not be a Gestures option).
6. Change the options as preferred.
7. Touch or click Save.
8. Touch or click the X in the upper-right corner to close the Dell Touchpad Utility.
9. Touch or click OK on the Mouse Properties window.
10. If the touchpad still does not work after following the preceding steps, refer to Dell Knowledge Base article - http://dell.to/2iaiujA.

We'd also recommend that you consider using an external mouse if your touchpad issues continue.

Not bad, not great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a good laptop, but for the price I paid, I expected better. The SSD makes startup a bit quicker, but only a bit. The built-in speakers are absolutely anemic. The computer hung up several times, but that may have been partially due to not being fully updated. Hasn't happened recently, still disappointing.

Great performance

finally a computer that works!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This computer is great! Better than than the other new dell's I tried.
I would recommend this to a friend Great new, powerful laptop
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My older computer was running slow after a few years of use and maybe some rough handling on my way to school, and this new one runs way better. It is fast and has several new programs, apps, and capabilities that my older computer didn't have. With great speed and memory and a large screen, it certainly makes doing homework or leisure time better.
