    This was an amazing computer but it was not meant to be use for editing pictures or videos ,I couldn’t download what I wanted so I returned it to Best Buy ,not because it was a bad product,more because didn’t do what I wanted at the time and iMovie was easy to be use

    Very capable laptop however poor execution from dell. Battery life was mediocre at best. Could not last basic office use even for a few hours. Thermals was terrible, even just browsing the web the laptop get hot in the lap. There is also a design flaw where if you have the laptop open the hot air coming out of the cooler would hit the bottom of the screen and reflect back to users face. Usually it's not a big problem but this particular model constantly runs very hot. on top of that there's a weird electric buzzing sound that would never go away.

    A great laptop for the money. Obviously, there are going to be a few issues (laptop gets hot when running higher end games), but all in all it does what I need it to. If you're looking for a good gaming laptop without spending tons of money, this is a good one!

    I enjoy gaming at home and when I travel. Great speed, great graphics and an overall great laptop for personal use. My old laptop (4yeay old) Toshiba. Poor graphics, latency issues and the screen cracked and was hard to see without a plunger in monitor. Glad I found the Dell G-3 on sale and glad it works so well for the price. It was a Best Buy!!!

    I liked everything about this computer especially for the price however the screen was really dull and bland and of course you can’t upgrade that later so it went back to bestbuy. It also ran pretty hot.

    Not a bad machine boots fast and handles multiple processes. Could use more ram but I guess that's a given considering it only came with 8GB. Bought this for my son to use for online school and a couple games. He's happy, I'm happy.

    Worked great out of the box. No regrets here, would recommend as a gaming laptop that doesn't need TOO much power.

    Up to200+ FPS running Fortnite. Battery performance is crup, though. You can only game for about 45 minutes unplugged.

    Outstanding aside from the low Memory. Threw a RAM upgrade in there and now it's smooth without any skipped frames. If I didn't need the webcam, I'd have gotten something else, but it does what I need it to and then some.

    I first order online at the belmar store next day I call in and they apparently don't have the item and that is was being shipped to there location even though it said on the website in store pickup available today. Then the next day my order was cancelled altogether, so I called and they said they couldn't do anything for me. I had to drive a hour to the next store with one, luckily they had it and were able to help me out. I feel like I should get some sort of payback for the trouble a business shouldn't be run like this. Also if they didn't have the computer they should of called me and they should make sure the employees aren't stealing.
