Customer Ratings & Reviews

This Dell G7 laptop is about "middle of the road" when it comes to build quality. My laptop's motherboard failed after 6 weeks and had to ship it to Texas for replacement (about 10 days return time). The fans seem to RUN CONSTANTLY, which is also prompted by Windows 10--TOO many services running! And Dell support is substandard, poor quality in my opinion, too. Bottom line, you get what you pay for...just be prepared for not the best experience in this class of laptops: no too bad, not too good.

This computer makes me wish I was majoring in computer science or something that demands an amazing computer. This beast is simply amazing for the price, not too heavy to carry on campus (but wouldn’t recommend long distances, just to the library and back) and can play every game I need it to play, such as the Elder Scrolls. I do however, plan on upgrading the ram and memory in the future, I found that I was quickly running out of space because I like a lot of different software. Overall, I would recommend especially if you can find a good deal!

It has Solid State, Intel Core i7, NVIDIA GTX 1060 and Thunderbolt 3 slot. I have finally found one that matches my Laptop Specs!

I have purchased this at the best buy in garner NC and on your website it says if purchased in store you will receive a code in person yet I never got anything (the code im referring to is the fortnite bundle) EXTREMELY UPSET I just want my code, otherwise this pc runs good and gets the job done... only reason for 3 stars.

So far this is a great laptop, runs games smoother and it is quieter than the acer nitro I bought. Only downside is the screen is not very bright, and at some point I will need to add another hard drive.

I was hoping to be the first to rock a CFL 6 Core CPU + GTX1060 amongst my friends. Boy, was I so wrong. It's only been 2 days, and I am having doubts. I don't think I want to show off mine yet, until I figure it out. For some reason, my system ran hot after about 1 minutes of PUBG, and I haven't even jumped, and the fans are on full blast. Luckily, this G7 gaming notebook is not super light in weight, otherwise, I joke that it will fly off. After about 3 rounds of PUBG, about 20-30 minutes total (2 short rounds, and 1 that lasted over 20 min, no chicken dinner), the system was running crazy hot above the function keys, and even the T and Y key areas are hot. For gaming, this shouldn't bother you. I didn't notice how hot it got during game play, because my left hand is mostly on WASD. You probably wouldn't want to use this to play games in your library, unless you reserve private study rooms with your buddies to play games only. It's loud.... I mean... loud. Games like FFXV was sluggish at high settings, and I wasn't able to play FFXV at the highest setting at 1080P. PUBG was playable at the high setting, but I would still tone down on some of the settings. With DC mode, I wasn't able to play PUBG. It feels like mine got throttle down drastically when you don't have the adapter on. Maybe they have Optimus. I was getting 5-18 FPS in PUBG after the adapter got disconnected from the wall by accident. If you like your G7, make sure you carry your AC adapter with you when gaming. The good: Construction is nice. The keyboard seems super sturdy, without any noticeable flex. The touch pad feels good for normal use, and the click feels precise (don't game without a mouse). The keyboard feels good, except the "S" key requires a lot of getting used to during normal typing. Several times, I had to move my left index finger back to the "F" key, because the "S" key also has a little protrusion confusing me. Dell should've done what MSI did, add the protrusion to "W" instead of "S" The video driver was fairly new out of the box, Feb 2018. But, I would still recommend updating to the the latest Nvidia driver for new games like FFXV. This was one of the first thing that I did. The upgrade door is awesome. Very easy to open, you can add your own 2.5" HDD easily, and add an additional stick in minutes. The bad: The hinge, for some reason feels a bit more flimsy than the Omen. When I adjust the display, it seems to bend and twist. Because of that, I decided to adjust the screen around the camera area, and I hear a "click" noise every time that I tried to move the screen closer to me. Performance seems bad for a GTX1060. And it runs hot during game play.

I've had this laptop for about 3 weeks now. While it's a great value, be careful if you're planning on upgrading the RAM and SSD. I spoke to DELL tech support and read a lot of comments online, this model is not compatible with most memory cards with performance. The only RAM compatible with this model is DELL which costs a ton of money and Crucial which is out of stock. Also for the SSD or if you're trying to add an SSD into an empty slot, you will have major problmes booting up the laptop and it will get stuck on DELL logo when bootin up after SSD install. Eventhough things i mentioned above suck, i still like this laptop for the money, it's better if you buy it with 16GB memory instead of 8GB.

This is my third unit and it still has bad backlight bleed but everything else is good.

Right out of the box, I could hear the insane rpms that the fans were outputting to cool down the 8750h. Sounds like a helicopter was in my work room. Additionally, the internet kept cutting out and during games like rainbow six and fortnite, I got disconnected. Often this computer will freeze and require a full restart to get it to work again. Pros: - Games well Cons: - Unreliable internet connection - Consistently freezes - Keyboard heats up even after I undervolted CPU - LOUD - LOUD - Color accuracy is yikes I would not get this laptop tbh. Save some more money and get the Helios 300 or get a Lenovo Y520.

Laptop seems to run games well, But I am really really disappointed to learn that it is being advertised as a gaming laptop even though the keyboard does not support gaming. If you know what N-key rollover is, you know exactly what im talking about. For those who dont, it basically means that the keyboard only supports so many key presses at once in certain areas. this one in particular will not let you hold [up arrow] + [left or right arrow] + [space]. there are other combinations as well but this is a real problem when it comes to gaming. very disappointed to learn about this after purchasing :(

Dell Inspiron laptops have a history of overheating for years. In spite of their history I decided to buy a G7, with an assumption 2019 laptops would be better. To hell with my judgement. This laptop heats up and makes it un-usable. I feel heat over keyboards and right between the screen and the hinges (exhaust). I don’t even use this for gaming or any animation. Now I am stuck with something which I cannot exchange.

I had this laptop cooped up in my room for a couple of years, then I started taking it with me to class this semester and the charge port ended up breaking and can't get it fixed until the end of the semester. When I start to actually take this thing out it starts to collapse, not to mention I had to get a whole new laptop a month after I bought my first one because the hard drive was knocked out of place. This is NOT a mobile device, even with the backpack designed to protect it. Dell should not make gaming devices in general, I should've done more research on which laptops to buy. Thank goodness for geek squad. If you're looking for a gaming laptop, go with something other than Dell like a razor or just a different brand. There a tons of laptop reviews to look up. Dell is not good at making gaming products, do not buy this laptop. It will be worth your while to save up for a razor or something else if you really want a gaming laptop.

I have had this PC for less than a year and best buy has had it nearly as long as I have. first major day of getting on and playing games it blue screened. and ever sense then it has only gotten worse. Dell did some tests and said nothing was wrong with it, windows did some forced updates and reformatting of the system and still crashes and blue screens. Poor geek squad when I walk in know exactly what I am going to say but cant get it to run either. Was wanting to wait a year to get rid of it but fearful for homework it'll crash and I would have to start over.

Used maybe 3-4 times and the computer barely functions. Hard drive constantly throttling and it often takes 20 seconds to open a new tab on Google chrome. Computer is unusable and Dell wants to charge me for customer service since it's a hardware issue. Absolutely absurd. I will never purchase a Dell product again, and will advise friends and family to do the same.

Own this lap for a month, after an update the computer died, went to Best Buy, I choose the same because I want it to give a second try... 4 hours later the computer died... critical problems all over... customer beware... returning it today and gonna get an MSI for 300 plus

When the computer was on display it said that the processor speed was supposedly 2.8 GHz. When they actually gave them the computer it was 2.2 let them do the geek squad and this is what happened. Don’t even bother going through the trouble.

Webroot free and included But was never given to me worst costumer service I’ve ever had
