    I am replacing a Toshiba Satellite laptop which didn't last 2 years. It needs a new motherboard. The Dell is a similar price with similar specs but the Toshiba was superior with touch screen, 4K resolution and an aluminum case. This Dell has none of those qualities but did include a slightly better video card and had dual drives. The Toshiba keyboard also felt better. That being said I would never buy another Toshiba product again after it didn't last. So far, so good with the Dell G7. There has been a few times the laptop froze and needed to be restarted. This is concerning considering it is new and doesn't hardly have any software installed. I am hoping it will outlast the Toshiba by several years.

      Duck,

      Thanks for your review. We're glad that your new computer is performing well for you so far. If you continue to experience problems with your computer freezing you can follow these 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 steps 6 to see if you are able to resolve the lockups or freezing.
      6. 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 hope these tips help your computer perform the way you'd like it to.

      Best,
      Bryan

    The leading corners are SHARP. Like, painful to rest your wrists against. And within only 3-4 months of purchase, the machine gets so hot on the front right quadrant of the keyboard half that it hurts to touch. I have not overclocked it or made any other mods that would affect this. Programs have started running slowly or not at all. Glitches appear often. And for nearly $1,000, NONE of this should be an issue. I wish I could get my money back and spend half of it on a machine that works the way it’s supposed to.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
