I like the keyboard, sharp screen, speed of this laptop. However, it crashed and got hot easily. Perhaps, it was one of those defective laptop I got.

Will was really helpful and knowledgeable. I was going to buy regular Tvs for my restaurant and he advised me to purchase Samsung tvs for commercial use. He explained warranty and how I can link my phone to update the menu. He mentioned that these tvs are designed to work for 16 hrs a day 7 days a week. Thanks Will.

I'm honestly a bit disappointed in the performance of this laptop. This is supposed to be a screamer and it's honestly not much better than the 10th gen I5 that forward my previous laptop. I then upgraded to 32MB of RAM, installed a 1 TB SSD and it's still acts a little sluggish and hesitates before it will load a web page or access my home network. PassMark benchmarking tested performance to be at the bottom 30% of it's other users with the same processor and video card.

I’ve been shopping around for a respectable gaming laptop for some time now. I almost purchased another laptop until I stumbled across this one while browsing. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity after seeing it on sale as a certified “open box” item. I have had nothing but an excellent experience so far.

Starts with great power but throttles down to 11 or 12 frames due to heat problems. I really wanted to love this but had to return it.

What's a very nice computer but it was a little more than what I needed so I ended up trading it in for a very nice big screen TV and a nice set of washer and dryers.

Purchased this computer for grandson who is a beginning Engineering student. The salesman at BB was very helpful and was able to connect with us and guided us through the purchase. It will hold all the downloads that Engineering students require.

Nice screen but I didn’t like the mousepad and it was clunky. The power brick is massive. Requires its own bag lol

Bobby,
Thanks for your review and we're glad that you're enjoying the screen on your new computer. We're sorry that the mousepad didn't work as well as you would have liked it to. Please keep in mind that you can always re-calibrate your touchpad with the following steps:
Some Notebooks and Tablets with Keyboards have added gesture features to the touchpad hardware and drivers. A few of these features are two or three finger scrolling, pinch zoom, circle zoom, rotate and swiping. These new features may be the reason for the erratic cursor movement since most are turned on by default. You can disable or modify the way the features work in the touchpad driver properties.
Here are some tips to modify these settings:
1. In the Search box, type main.cpl. 2. Touch or click main.cpl in the list of programs. 3. Touch or click the Dell Touchpad tab. 4. Touch or click on the picture of the touchpad. 5. Touch or click Gestures (depending on your computer there may not be a Gestures option). 6. Change the options as preferred. 7. Touch or click Save. 8. Touch or click the X in the upper-right corner to close the Dell Touchpad Utility. 9. Touch or click OK on the Mouse Properties window. 10. If the touchpad still does not work after following the preceding steps, refer to Dell Knowledge Base article - http://dell.to/2iaiujA.

I’ve been a Mac user fir over a decade and I was more than nervous about making the change to PC. I’m super happy with my purchase and Windows just blows my mind. Everything is so seamless and integrated and honestly I wish I would have made the switch earlier.
