Customer Ratings & Reviews

Get one for my kid as her first gaming rig and she loves it. Surprisingly well build and power enough to play all her games AND do all homework/web browsing. Not as noisy as I was afraid of. Would love to have one more HDMI or DP port, but in this price range one port will work just fine.

This is a year out review: It works well and will play some CPU demanding games with little lag. Two minor problems: First, with the speakers. They started making static noises after 8 month when I would watch movies with the volume up. I must have partially blown them, but I never felt like I pushed them hard enough to blow. Second, the computer seems to have slowed down a bit. Maybe I'm not tech savvy enough to keep it running at optimal speed, but sometimes the CPU will be cranking too hard and even a game like Minecraft will be jumpy. I will definitely continue to use it and it is still reliable to play on, but maybe it's best to find a laptop with SSD rather than Hybrid.

I purchased this PC on Black Friday, so it was a good deal. I don't like the touch pad (it's rough and annoying for me), but I like it pretty much. I don't play PC games at all, but I see movies on PC a lot, so I hope it will work for a long time.

When I first bought this, it was an amazing machine. It is built like a tank, it is not too thick or too heavy, and Dell's reputation is great, so I thought I could not go wrong for the price. I have started to have issues, and although Dell's customer service is great, the only way for them to repair the hardware issues that I am having is to send it off for 10-12 business days, and I will be without a computer for school. If this hardware problem was not happening, then I would give this computer 5 stars. Get a protection plan if you buy this computer. But perhaps you will not even need it. :-) I would recommend this computer, just with the warning to get a protection plan.

It`s a very nice laptop. I played Doom and other current gen titles and went very well. GTA IV was lagging a little, but nothing too critical. I`m playing some previous gen titles that I missed, such as Dead Space and The Witcher 2, and it`s all good :)

Started off really excited about this laptop, awesome picture quality, and I was excited to play Overwatch on PC. However, I only owned it for 5 days and it crashed on me 12 times. Pretty much every 1- 2 hours the computer would crash.

I was looking for a laptop to work from home or travel that would also handle gaming without being too expensive. This meets all of my specs and it's really light and sturdy. I find the back lighting in red to be easier on my eyes than my previous laptop's blue.

I used this laptop for almost 3 years it did pretty good for its specs did have a couple issues with Audio the first few weeks but it was a Windows 10 issue other than that for a 1050 it was good

You're not getting top-of-the-line specs but the laptop itself runs modern games pretty well and has a decent battery life. If you can afford the $850 model I would recommend that since it has an ssd and an IPS panel for the screen.

Great graphics, memory, etc etc. All around a great purchase. This is the second one we purchased for gaming and it works like a champ. Would recommend getting external fan (Best Buy sells them) because it can run a little hot if you game for a long time.

One of the things I like best about this laptop is the video card which is not that of your average laptop. It's an actual PC card which makes the graphics awesome! I told my friend about this laptop and she's a techno geek and now she has one, too.

It does a great job for what I need. Powerful enough for the type of games I play and good family laptop. Its thicker than I expected and also heavier but for the price it's a fine.

What I really like about this system is how easy it was to upgrade. I replaced the hard drive with a SSD and added 8G of memory. It’s a great base system. The access to do upgrades is one screw. The Samsung SSD was easy to clone from the system drive.

I returned the first one which was an open box. There was serious issues with the computer (it was stating the batteyr had failed and needed replacing and then working on battery for 3 hours) This is a new in box Dell.

i love my computer. the only problem that i have with it is the w 'button' it sticks from day one, but after playing for some tine i learned how to use it and thats the only reason i dint give it 5 stars

This is amazing starting pc for new pc gamer who don’t have the time to stay at home with a tower but for no who have to go places every so often. The pc runs fine as long as setting aren’t on ultra high you can get around 40 FPS

Nice laptop except including DVD drive. Graphic is good but some big game cannot be played because of required prossessor. Anyway, core i5 and 4GB graphic is good for games. Design is the best for me.

Despite the title, I'm a family man who enjoys a little gaming in my spare time.. Unfortunately, my old Asus RoG G73 decided that after several years of use, it wasn't willing to play nice anymore.. So it was time for a new laptop. Since it was a somewhat unexpected demise, I wasn't prepared financially to purchase a new RoG or any other recommended gaming laptop. However, I came across this Dell with quite a few positive reviews.. So I decided to go for it. What a waste of time. First off, the screen is absolutely horrible...in fact, I thought about returning it within a couple of hours (most of which were spent calibrating) because of the viewing angles (or lack thereof) and the horrible picture quality. I mean, my old TV from the 90's was better than this thing. And even if the screen was at least decent, the performance fresh out of the box left me missing my 7 yr old RoG. I was so ready to return it. However, I always feel a little bit guilty/hesitant about returning something that truly isn't broken. Lucky for me, this laptop crapped the bed less than 24 hours after purchase. Total failure. Wouldn't power on. I finally decided to bite the bullet a day later, and purchased a 17" Asus RoG that I've been extremely happy with over the last few weeks now. Never again Dell...never again. If this is all that you can afford...then save up for a little bit and buy a proper gaming laptop...an etch o sketch would've been better than this garbage.

Great graphics and processing power for a beginning, casual gaming computer. Only downside is the backlighting for the screen makes it difficult to watch movies on unless it's at the exactly perfect angle.

Bought for my 14 year old daughter for Christmas. She likes it but she likes the big screen of her XBox better. And she only has one friend with a gaming computer so online gaming is only with him.
