This laptop is a very good budget machine for both work and for gaming. It have very good build quality and a good amount of power for the price. The fans are very quiet unless you want them to be loud. A great option for sure. Also very go battery life for a machine of this power and price.

If I could add a half star as you can on other sites I would.
Overall I like this Dell model. Bestbuy has recently lowered the price on this model and unfortunately I missed that discounted price by less than 2 weeks. Frankly that is the price it is worth for the following reasons. 1) The battery life on this model is extremely poor and may be why Dell didn't state its life: way less than 2 hours. It's sad because Dell battery life used to be really good. 2) This model heats up enough to burn your legs so it technically isn't a "laptop". Just joking, but seriously, it can really heat up.
I bought it for gaming, though, and it is a major improvement over both PS4 and Xbox systems. I play ESO and wait times are very short when "zoning" on the Dell compared to the consoles.

Brand response from YourDellTeam

Delory,
Thanks for your review and we're sorry to hear about the battery runtime on your new computer. Here are some tips that we'd recommend to help extend your computer's battery life:
Change the Power Plan:
1. On the notification area of the taskbar, right-click the Battery icon. 2. On the options list, click Power Options. 3. Select a power plan on the battery meter, such as Power Saver or Balanced. Windows 10 has a built in 'Battery Saver' mode that can be activated to extend your system's battery life. The Battery Saver mode will monitor and limit background activity and other features such as push notifications. You do have the option to enable or disable this mode within settings or within advanced Battery Saver settings, you can customize the mode to best suit your needs.
a) Click on the Action Center icon in the taskbar and select the tile for Battery Saver. b) If running Cortana then type Battery Saver into the search box and select from the results. Within the Battery Saver settings page, you will be able to turn on and off the feature and customize the feature to best meet your needs. c) Turn Battery Saver On or Off. d) Additional settings available via the Battery use and Battery saver settings links. e) Battery use shows further info on apps and their power usage. f) Battery Saver Settings screen allows you to customize further Battery Saver feature.
If you'd like your computer to run a little cooler you can read the tips in this article: https://dell.to/2L8yNct.
Best, Bryan@Dell

I went into the store planning on buying one model computer but talked with Joe and decided on another. I have talked with Joe a few times now and he has without a doubt been great to talk to, friendly, personable, and very knowledgeable. Because of Joe and some of the past interactions I have had in the store with him, I specifically went to the store hoping he would be in there to discuss the purchase I was about to make. We discussed the specs I needed, and he led me to a computer I was not considering (similar prices, no up sell). I am now two days in with this computer and so far, there has been no complaints. I have been completely satisfied with my purchase.
My goal was to play Call of Duty Vanguard. I have been online several times now. This computer has not let me down. I cannot speak for a long-term experience. The initial reaction after one weekend is satisfaction and joy.
I have not left a review in years. I felt with my interactions at the store and this purchase, it was finally time to leave one.

We originally wanted to be cheap and buy a $250 laptop for my GAMER SON. Huge error! Nothing worked on that one. We then bought this piece of wonderful laptop and my son is amazed in its graphics and speed. He is absolutely happy with it and uses it every single day!

Amazing, though I would absolutely upgrade the RAM if you are able and have the skill. It took me like 20 minutes, and i've never done it before.
Battery life is terrible, expect to use this as a portable sit-down computer near a plug.

Gets hot fast, but does the job well! Best Buy screwed my mom out of her money so she couldn't buy the one we wanted, but this was a great xmas present for me! So happy to have her!

The computer was purchased for my son. He still has it and it work really well. On some of the higher tier games it ran slow but he purchased more ram, so all in all a good laptop

I have now owned this for about 3 weeks. Been very happy with it so far. I did but a 2nd 8GB memory stick and inserted that right out of the gates to double up the RAM. When you crack open the case it is an alienware branded board inside. I haven't really tested it with anything to graphics intensive but happy overall.
One note I did attempt to watch a movie outside on this. The monitor in normal inside conditions is great. But it really isn't bright enough to watch a movie outdoors. Even with back of the screen towards the sun it just wasn't bright enough. Not a big deal for me personally but if that's your thing you might be worth noting.

Laptop is good but have had some issues with it where the Windows start menu doesn't open and apps or other tools become disassociated until it gets rebooted. Haven't really played any intensive games or really even used it for anything other than usual desktop crap.
