    This laptop is (almost) perfect. Amazing FPS and even at its hottest is much cooler than high end laptops. The case is good quality, and the only drawback is not having a full HD screen to enjoy the awesome gaming you can do on this machine. It still gets five stars for doing everything it claims to do.

      Dear Derek, Thanks for your review. We're sorry to hear that the trackpad on your new computer is not performing the way you had hoped it would. Here are some tips on calibrating your trackpad - 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.

    Motherboard Broke after 4.5 Months

    The rear panel is problematic. The little tabs that hold it in break off too easily and both of my sons' computers are now held together with duct tape. One boy's computer just wouldn't turn on one day. After a lot of talking on the phone and removing and replacing of batteries, Dell finally agreed to let us send it in for servicing. Once the shipping label was delivered by email, service was quite impressive. I send it in on Dec 16 and had it back on Dec 29...better turnaround than I had expected given the Xmas season. My other son says that he is having trouble with his charger, so I bought a cheap replacement on Amazon. Just seems that there shouldn't have been these problems in such a short amount of time. I gave 3 stars because of the quick turnaround on in-warranty servicing. I don't know that I would buy this computer again though.

    Wonderful Multipurpose Laptop

    As a college student, I use this laptop for both my gaming and learning needs. The graphics and speed of the computer is stellar. The only "problem" I could see people possibly encountering is the laptop not having enough memory, however this is an easy fix by purchasing an external hard drive.

    The customer service was great. Delivered on time as expected. Although a bit disappointed because for the price, other than the operating system, you don't get any useful free software. You have to buy basic software. Otherwise, it is a good laptop for a college a student.

    Ok laptop

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The machine was nice but coming from mostly all apple laptops for the last 10 years this was just too far of a jump DOWN in quality for me to withstand. The machine was "ok" but build quality just doesn't compare to an apple laptop. The display was flimsy and couldn't be opened without the display flexing and bending. The entire laptop is coated in that terrible soft touch junk they used to coat cell phones with back in the day (which they quit doing because the coating peels off in time......DELL!!). It looks nice and feels nice but it turns the entire machine into a fingerprint and oil display. The GTX 1050 was adequate for mobile gaming but combined with the weight and all the build quality stuff I ended up returning the machine. (as an aside it was open box but I don't see why that really matters)

    Recommended by sales associate based on my needs for a gaming laptop that doubles as a school device as well. Fits the bill and has beautiful output. Probably not the most technical review for techies, but as a Mom it would work for me if I was looking for the same.

    We bought this for gaming, but also to double as a college laptop. On initial setup, it worked fine - till we used google search, then it froze! Restarted it after awhile, but it stayed frozen. So, we had to return it.

    I was getting tired of squinting at my IPAD and wanted a laptop for casual couch gaming and surfing. For the price it is fine. Not a replacement for a my main gaming laptop but for games not requiring a lot of graphic power it is fine. Screen is only adequate.

    Trying to figure out if it is the program or the computer that the cursor jumps around without me moving it and I end up typing up words or numbers wrong. Sometimes goes backwards and sometimes the cursor goes forward. Frustrating when trying to type in passwords.

    This laptop performs very well for its price point even with an older 7th gen processor. It is also very easy to upgrade storage by adding an additional hard drive and more ram with just unscrewing one screw.

    Great little laptop. Only downsides are some buggy details with the speaker (not really huge for me because I use headphones) and the inability to run over 60Hz on an external monitor due to HDMI port limitations.
