Customer Ratings & Reviews

Been trying to get this configuration for months and was surprised to find it at Best Buy.

I don’t remember Quick Start being so easy. You plug in, turn on then get your hand held all the way through set up, especially great for the tech shy. And, if you do Microsoft Office, your platform populates all devices including your smartphone; so, home is wherever you are. Cloud above means less data migration headaches below. Among other favorites, my young nephew gets it on with FORTNITE. So, the house upgrade to the DELL G7 was a smart move, especially since his equipment overheats with lots of fan noise way before ready to shut down an extended play. Though the machine has a somewhat heavy, rugged exterior that exudes durability; so far, the weight may not be in its capacity to withstand abuse but in its processing power and sharp design features. A few small details: • the hinge allows the top to open without lifting the bottom off the table. • the surface deck around the keyboard doesn’t flex under pressure. • the panel display has a matte finish with good off angle viewing without glare, good for my business meetings and power point • Situated at the front edge of the unit, MAXXaudio, affords quite decent clarity for my needs and his Very pleased with the cpu’s ability to construct and deconstruct docs without resistance while moving large amounts of data with multiple open windows and apps running simultaneously. For gaming en route, the nephew offers no complaints about the display’s resolution for gaming; and, when, stationary, the interface with an external monitor for a larger view shed is an easy connect. Says thumbs up for the benefits of Shadow Play pre-installed via GeForce to: • analyze the system to judge game compatibility with available space + tolerances, capture game audio + video recordings for uploads to YouTube and the like • adjust graphics and other settings for best performance. • adjust frame rate and audio related parameters as well i.e. in BROADCASTING, fine tune how your game appears. . Happy that the back lit keyboard has a responsive feel and doesn’t misinterpret my key strokes. The back light is a nice upgrade that assists work in low light. DISPLAY SETTINGS offer a few adjustments. But, for a next generation upgrade, R+D might consider a broader range of back light color options to satisfy individual preferences, especially since light frequencies have a real impact on emotion and circadian cycles. Odd that even though the CAPSLOCK has an indicator light indicating engagement; but, the NUMLOCK doesn’t. Thankfully, G7 letters, numbers and symbols are imbedded so they won’t dissolve over time as happened with my i5. When exhausted, keys without letters are a pain. With a memory glitch, I’d have to look at the keys to summon up QWERTY. My old Dell keyboard was an easy snap’n lock to replace but not certain if this new version has a similar set up for a la cart replacement. But, under-side access to the interior is a one screw feature for those who want to enhance. Said to my nephew: “no warranty voiding manipulations allowed!”, especially since he’s already talking overclocking, thermal paste and other techie expansions to keep up with future apps after warranty expiration. He’ll have his own before that time. For now, no complaints of ghosting and throttling, especially for the fps he’s getting even while simultaneously engaged. A little disappointed with the battery life at 4-5 hrs at medium demand. Really thought battery tech is improving at leaps and bounds enough to afford longer run time at this price point. Thankfully, there’s a card reader but installation is not flush. And, no DVD/RW; so, get an external or keep the old machine for those occasions. Ports are 3 USBs, an HDMI, gaming headset, locking port. No fingerprint ID at start up, no pen or touch pad, no back flipping tablet tricks but the fundamentals are solid and a great ROI for the price point. Interesting that I don’t feel short changed moving from a 17” display and keyboard to a 15.6”. So, overall, a solid ROI. With the G7, I am an editorial speed demon for research, doc management and speaking dates when I can boot the nephew out of the gaming zone.

If you want a great lightweight laptop, this is definitely a great value for the money.

This is a really nice laptop you can do a range of stuff on it from typing a document to playing your favorite games on steam

I'm not sure what the complaints are about regarding dim screen. Probably the best value for propper gaming out there.

WORKS GOOD GREAT PRODUCT MUST HAVE TO SAVE ALL THAT STUFF

Does what I need it to and then some only downside is the HDD is smaller but not a big problem

Great laptop for the price . Used to do graphic design projects while on the go .

We bought this for our son to take back to college and haven't heard of any issues with any areas of use

good purchase. Using it as a back up. goof look. liked it.

Can run satisfactory on ultra with about 30-40fps could sacrifice some settings for higher frames.
