Most expensive brick I’ve ever purchased
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Terrible product! I purchased this G15 with the intention of light to medium gaming use. Over the course of the first week I didn’t have much time to play anything on it because of work. On the 11th day I downloaded Destiny 2, I played it on the recommended graphic setting for less than an hour. I quit playing and spent another 15-20 mins scrolling through steam. I left for a few mins and came back to a $1300 brick on my desk. I still have no idea what happened to it, it was fully charged, it was adequately cooled, but for some reason it just shut off and never turned back on. Avoid the Dell G15 laptops!

Won't turn on after only a few weeks of use!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my mom to use, not for gaming, but as a faster laptop to replace her desktop. This way, she can take it with her when she travels. It worked for 3-4 weeks, then we couldn't get it to turn on. We tried the tricks listed, got it to work, but a few days later it turned off again and now she can't get it to turn back on. The light comes on, on the power supply, but nothing on the laptop. We're stuck since she's in a different state now and she can't take it apart like some of the Dell suggestions. Sadly, it sounds like this is a common problem, one I missed when I was checking the original reviews. I don't like the idea of having her send it somewhere else to be fixed since all of her data is already on the hard drive, but it sounds like we don't have a choice. I'm very disappointed with this purchase.

Freezing nightmare
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Froze on 2nd day while running zoom. Then continued to freeze 3 other times before I finally took it back. Very disappointed had to drive way out of my way to get this and just a total dud. I have three other dell laptops never had issues not sure what was the problem with this one. But with the amount I paid definitely not taking any chances and stright back to store in less than a week.

Posted .Ivan,
We're sorry to hear about the freezing that you experienced with your new computer. In the future if you experience this again we would recommend the following steps:
1. Run a Computer Diagnostic. To determine if your computer is experiencing a hardware problem, run the Dell Preboot System Assessment (PSA) Diagnostics. For information on how to run Diagnostics, and to determine the issue, refer to Dell Knowledge Base Article: http://dell.to/2iaiujA.
2. Check Safe Mode for Symptoms. To boot into safe mode, please follow the instructions below:
a) Start the computer.
b) Tap 'F8' on the keyboard immediately and every one second until the Dell logo screen disappears. From there you will see the Windows Advanced Options Menu on the screen. (If the Windows Advanced Options Menu does not appear, restart the system and try again.)
c) Select Safe mode with Networking and press Enter.
d) Log on as the administrator or as a user with administrative access.
e) Open applications and test the computer in safe mode. If the symptoms exist in safe mode, please continue the troubleshooting steps in this article. If the symptoms do not exist in safe mode, the issue is likely related to a driver or software and you may wish to complete step 3 to see if you are able to resolve the lockups or freezing.
3. Check for Malware. Malware (Virus, Spyware, etc.) can definitely cause a Windows system to lock up or appear to hang. To check for malware on your system and to ensure that your computer is up to date on security software, visit Dell Knowledge Base Article: http://dell.to/2wWP1zI.
You can read the full article here - http://dell.to/2tW5m33.
We are sorry to see that you decided to return your computer but we hope that you will consider Dell again in the future.
Best,

Died after 4 days
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unfortunately, I have to join the crowd whose laptop stopped working within one week of ownership. It was working fine for 4 days and I was really enjoying it. 5th day, went to boot up -- nothing. A brick. I called support and after troubleshooting, I need to send it back for a new motherboard. I am still waiting for the return box to arrive and after reading some reviews, I am concerned that it will be weeks before I get it back...4 days of use and probably weeks before I can use it again..ugh...it is my only laptop (writing this from a tablet),
