    This is a good and fast computer w/out too many peripherals like more USB connections and other peripherals. Anyway, it is fast, works quickly, and I can use it for other things outside of gaming (b/c I did not purchase it for gaming). I was looking for a workhorse computer that can compute quickly and efficeintly. This one so far has lived up to my guess that it could handle my workload(s).

    Dell + Best Buy = Worst financial mistake

    Absolute garbage. As if 5 hours of battery life off a charger isn’t scraping the bottom of the barrel, the ACTUAL battery life while not on a charger is more realistically 1-2 hours. Lovely addition to this excuse of a laptop is the bitlocker features microsoft decided to enable on new devices, which can lock you out of your pc indefinitely until factory reset or key recovery. However, if you have any other preexisting devices on the account, then the key probably isn’t correct as the way they manage keys to devices are not correct. If I could rate this trash bag negative stars then I would. Also be aware about any promotions and how it affects your warranty. Best Buy in Hammond practices shady business and are extremely unhelpful outside of selling products on which they have no grounds to speak on features or capabilities any more than you do with reading a sticker. Highly recommended allowing products to stay on the market for over a year and then look at reviews before getting anything.

    I would totally recommend this laptop. It’s got great specs. The screen is just beautiful, you can’t see reflections on the screen which is great. If i could change one thing it would be a color changing keyboard but other than that it’s amazing especially for gaming 10/10.

    Bought this product a couple weeks ago for a deployment. First day I booted it up it already started having issues. It randomly locks up, causing me to turn it off, and back on. Whatever, however couple days pass on and it starts freezing up more frequently and even black screesn after turning it back on again. Whenever I can game on it its great, no issues.
