I bought this laptop specifically to play Sims 4 and it’s perfect! The graphics are great, speeds up load times, allows me to download custom content without lag, and overall has improved my gaming experience! I didn’t want to spend over $1000 for a gaming laptop, and while this isn’t the cheapest, it definitely was worth the money.

The good- handles all recent games on high. Drives my widescreen monitor via hdmi. Easily upgraded, simple acces to mem, hd, nvme.
The bad - built in lcd is not very bright. The bios is a bit finicky when changing hd or installing linux.
Overall a good machine to play games using an external monitor.

This may not be the top of the line or the newest model but is seriously nice. I have. $1500 Dell as well as this and the ease of use is much better with this than the more expensive one. I recommend buying this if you’re looking for a computer that games, has word processing capabilities, and is decently fast. Overall very happy with my purchase.

Horrible screen

The screens colors are very washed out, its terrible. I am replacing the screen with something better, its just atrocious how bad the colors are. They look so faded and washed out as if you left it out in the sun for an entire year. If you want great color and do not plan on replacing the screen, avoid this laptop! Also it has a mechanical hard drive in 2019...thats really dumb. I replaced that with an SSD.

NoSpace,
Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry that the colors on your monitor are not what you hoped they'd be. Please consider doing a system refresh to see if this improves the color quality on your computer: Windows 10 is capable of resetting all of its system files without affecting your personal data. Refresh will do the following:
• Reinstalls Windows 10 and keeps your personal files. • Removes apps and drivers you installed. • Removes changes you made to settings. • Removes any apps your PC manufacturer installed. (If your PC came with Windows 10, apps from your PC manufacturer will be reinstalled.)
To get started with a refresh of your system files, follow these steps:
1. At the desktop, click the Search the web and Windows box and type "reset". 2. Select Reset this PC (System Setting). 3. Under Reset this PC, select Get Started. 4. Select the option to Keep my files. 5. Note any apps or drivers that will need to be reinstalled after the refresh has completed. 6. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the refresh process. This will take some time and your computer will restart.

Dell G3 for target practice.

If you want to use this laptop for gaming, look elsewhere. It'll start games, then you get into it after about 20 minutes, then boom, you're kicked out and back to the desktop. Away from games, it's very glitchy. Many problems shutting down and restarting. I'd send this back, but ofcourse I'm 3 days late from the return date. It's a paperweight...No more, no less. I'll be spending on a real setup elsewhere soon. On the bright side, however, if you're a firearm enthusiast, it will make for some great target practice!!!

skellentor,
We appreciate your feedback and your gaming experience is surely not the experience that we want our customers to have. While you may have missed the return deadline for Best Buy, Dell offers a One Year Limited Warranty policy that you can read more about here: http://dell.to/2tNsVOs, if you think that your issue qualifies.

Probably the worst purchase I have ever made in electronics. The computer is painfully slow in general and the though of using it for gaming is laughable.
