    The Dell G3 laptop is much more responsive than the laptop it replaced ( not a Dell product). The speed in which it accesses everything makes us glad we purchased it.

    Bought this laptop primarily for 3D Model creation and modification (parametric in Fusion360 and organic in blender and Sculptris), as well as general business use. This laptop has consistently gone above and beyond for what I'm using it for, and complex image rendering. Very pleased with the results. The frame feels kinda cheap and I'm worried the hinge may wear out faster than I'd like, but so far so good!

    This laptop is good for lite gaming, I use mostly for school but it runs fast enough that I can play some online games. The only downside would be the battery life is lacking.

    Clunky laptop, had very high expectations but was sadly disappointed. The fan is extremely loud and the battery life is absolutely terrible. I've had this laptop for less than a year and it barely lasts an hour without the charger.

      dylan,

      Thanks for your review. We're sorry that your computer is not performing the way you'd like it to. We'd recommend updating the BIOS on your computer for help with the fan noise:

      An out-of-date BIOS can cause loud fan noises by having an outdated temperature table for the system. Refer to update BIOS and follow the instructions to update the BIOS on your computer. You can also follow up with our Technical Support Team here - 1-800-624-9896.

      You can read the full article here - http://dell.to/2ENlXfz.

      If you'd like to extend the battery life on your computer you can try these steps:

      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.
