You do have the option to enable or disable this mode within settings or within advanced Battery Saver settings, you can customize the mode to best suit your needs.
a) Click on the Action Center icon in the taskbar and select the tile for Battery Saver. b) If running Cortana then type Battery Saver into the search box and select from the results. Within the Battery Saver settings page, you will be able to turn on and off the feature and customize the feature to best meet your needs. c) Turn Battery Saver On or Off. d) Additional settings available via the Battery use and Battery saver settings links. e) Battery use shows further info on apps and their power usage. f) Battery Saver Settings screen allows you to customize further Battery Saver feature.

Luis,
Thanks for your review. We're sorry to hear about the freezes that you're experiencing with your new computer. Here are some tips to diagnose the freezes:
1. Run a Computer Diagnostic. To determine if your computer is experiencing a hardware problem, run the Dell Preboot System Assessment (PSA) Diagnostics. For information on how to run Diagnostics, and to determine the issue, refer to Dell Knowledge Base Article: http://dell.to/2iaiujA. 2. Check Safe Mode for Symptoms. To boot into safe mode, please follow the instructions below: a) Start the computer. b) Tap 'F8' on the keyboard immediately and every one second until the Dell logo screen disappears. From there you will see the Windows Advanced Options Menu on the screen. (If the Windows Advanced Options Menu does not appear, restart the system and try again.) c) Select Safe mode with Networking and press Enter. d) Log on as the administrator or as a user with administrative access. e) Open applications and test the computer in safe mode. If the symptoms exist in safe mode, please continue the troubleshooting steps in this article. If the symptoms do not exist in safe mode, the issue is likely related to a driver or software and you may wish to complete step 3 to see if you are able to resolve the lockups or freezing. 3. Check for Malware. Malware (Virus, Spyware, etc.) can definitely cause a Windows system to lock up or appear to hang. To check for malware on your system and to ensure that your computer is up to date on security software, visit Dell Knowledge Base Article: http://dell.to/2wWP1zI.

Wanted to buy 2-3 monitors and a desktop. Spent 15-20 minutes in the store being ignored. Found 2 monitors and left with them. Checkout guy asked "Did you find everything..." and I answered no, no one would help me in computers. Checkout guy then took my credit card and I left, without even trying to find me a computer

I bought this computer for work. I travel and use my laptops out of town as well as in my home office. No matter where I was, this laptop would buffer when trying to load. I was very thankful for the return policy at Best Buy. I was able to return it and get a HP Spectre and it is 100% better, except for the smaller screen size.

After reinstalling the operating system and updating drivers, even buying a cooling mat, the computer overheats, then hangs, and finally a BSOD. This happens on a daily basis, and they won't take it back. I've had tech support help me with it, to no avail. No I'm stuck with it! Miserable.

Hummingbird,
We're sorry that your computer is not performing the way that you hoped it would. We'd recommend the following tips for helping to keep your computer cooler:
Tips for Proper Usage:
1. Dell does not recommend placing portable systems directly on your lap. Due to reductions in the thickness of modern portable systems, heat transfer can be an issue. 2. Using a portable system (Laptop) on a hard, flat, non-cloth surface will increase airflow and reduce heat from underneath and inside the system. Using the portable system on a blanket, pillow, or other types of cloth will cover up the fan cause the computer to overheat and can cause permanent damage. 3. It is recommended to use the portable system in a Room temperature of 0°C to 35°C (32°F to 95°F) with a Humidity level no greater than 90%. 4. Use compressed air to clean the vents on a regular basis. 5. Using a cooling pad can decrease heat and increase performance. 6. If you want to know the temperature limitations for your system, go to the Dell Support Website, look up your system model then open the user guide under the manuals link.
If you continue to have Blue Screen Errors, here are some steps you can follow to diagnose the issue:
1. At the desktop, click the Search the web and Windows box and type "problem reports". 2. Select View all problem reports to view a list of errors that have occurred on your computer and possible solutions for them, such as updating drivers, flashing your system BIOS, or checking for updates to the software. 3. Under the Source column, look for Windows and under Summary, look for Shut down unexpectedly. 4. Right-click the line item and select Check for a solution.
We'd also suggest checking to make sure that your software and drivers are up to date on Dell's Product Page - https://dell.to/356Ykeu.

I would not waste my money on this if I were you.
Haven't even had for 6 months and had to send it off to be repaired for the same issue... TWICE.
And seeing how it takes about two weeks to ship, repair, and return, I've been without my laptop for collectively a whole month.
