    I've built custom gaming rigs and have had several other OEM PC's. I mainly use this as my work laptop, but also game on it. My main con is the trackpad on this laptop is horrible! That's easily fixed by just purchasing a mouse which I was going to do anyway and did. I've ran Withcer 3 on medium, Skyrim High, WoW High. Of course this is not going to beat out a 4k display but this laptop gives you a very smooth running and capable laptop. I like it better than the Acer Helios which I previously purchased before this and returned the same week.

    I haven't had the chance to use it for a lot of gaming yet, but it does seem very promising. I do wish that it didn't have so many apps for "games" already installed. It took a bit to delete them all. I'm also not a fan of it trying to use the mic to listen to my voice so it can "improve " it's voice recognition. This doesn't interest me at all. Other that these minor things, I'm happy with the purchase.

    It's been solid so far, battery life could be better and fan could be a bit quieter but overall not a bad laptop

    Great laptop. No issues running high performance games, at the moment playing witcher 3. Only complaint is that it does get hot in certain areas.

    It is a good gaming laptop for that price range. It is a little bit heavy though as most gaming laptops are.

    The internals on this machine are great. Fast CPU, fast GPU, fast hard drive(nvme), and fast ram. I was impressed with how it performed. I rendered a 3 minute video at 1080p in 1min 7 sec. For the same 4k video, took about 3-4 minutes. This is very acceptable to me for that. I put 32gb of ram in, only 2 slots so needed to remove old and add new. Also added a 1tb SATA ssd drive for storage. This also has USB-3.1 for fast file transfers. Very impressed for a video processing out in the field laptop. Very happy so far. Won't be perfect colors, but good enough to get video out fast, and at around $1000,it is a steal.

    This laptop is a winner like gamers on a budget this thing is it. But keep it mind Dell cuts big corners to make things affordable. *The screen isn’t mediocre and 60hz. *The fans are very loud. *The computer feels like cheap flimsy plastic. But not entry level cheap but don’t expect asus quality either. Can’t find much else wrong besides those main 3 points everything else is a steal of a deal.

    Excellent laptop with its amazing and blazing Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660Ti graphics card for vivid and vibrant screen displays. Plenty of dedicated RAM memory for multi-tasking projects. High quality and durable built design with a balanced feel for easy carrying. Love the multi-color lighted keyboard and layout design too. Highly recommended.
