Just was looking for a laptop that could do basic things like watch videos, listen to music and light gaming, without being worried about ram, lag issues, and was at sale !!!

I picked this laptop up when it was on sale and so far it has been alright. The first thing that i personally had to change was the storage the 1tb hard drive is nice but being its only 5400rpm not exactly breaking land speed records in terms of starting programs.The i5 8300H is a good CPU but does get toasty when under full load but dropping the voltage offset of the CPU helps with the temps. The 1060 MAX-Q GPU is great for this setup and having 6 GB instead of 3 GB is also great. I would recommend this laptop but would prefer when it was on sale rather than full price some may disagree but at the price to what your getting is i guess good for the money but only having 8 GB ddr4 stick of ram and the 5400 Rpm hard drive in my mind a cheap route to take and charge the full price.
Pros
Expandable storage and ram
17.3 inch display
1060 Max-Q 6 Gb
Easy of access to upgrade and clean
Cons
1 TB 5400rpm hard drive
only 1 8 GB ddr4 ram stick
There really isn't alot of cons i can find so far with this laptop overall i have been pleased with this laptop but if i find more i do and don't like about it i will take notes of it.

Great keyboard, nice big screen, seems to play games very well. I find it quite slow sometimes and I don't know if it is the 5400rpm disk or the firewall or what. Anaconda takes forever to start, but works. Too much bloatware. I'd buy it again. It was very cheap.

CPU chokes out just trying to run Windows 10. If you have more than one program running, be prepared for greatly reduced performance and fans on full blast.
Although the parts listed should be able to run games well, get ready for slow graphics, even on medium settings.
Power cord no longer stays connected after just 3 months.
In short, buy something else.

Hello JustSomeGuy,
We're sorry to hear that your computer is not working the way that you hoped it would. We'd recommend updating the BIOS on your computer so that the fan noise is quieter on your computer:
An out-of-date BIOS can cause loud fan noises by having an outdated temperature table for the system. Refer to update BIOS and follow the instructions to update the BIOS on your computer. You can also follow up with our Technical Support Team here - 1-800-624-9896.
If you'd like to see if you can improve the performance of your computer you can run the Windows Performance Troubleshooter:
1. Close all open windows. 2. Press the Windows logo key + X key on the keyboard. 3. Click Control Panel. 4. Click System and Security. 5. Under Security and Maintenance, select Troubleshoot common problems. 6. Under System and Security, click Run maintenance tasks. 7. Follow the on-screen instructions and prompts to complete the process. 8. Restart the PC.

It took about 3 minutes just to long in and forget about bringing up applications. After owning this for about 20 minutes I knew I messed up. Went and returned it. 2nd time Dell, I'm done with your products.

OgreBob,
We're sorry that your computer took long to load for you. In the future we'd recommend limiting the number of programs that launch at startup so that your login will go faster. We hope that you will consider Dell products again in the future.

I can't complain at all about this laptop in the first month I've had it. Certainly less problems than the cheap HP and Samsung models I had before, won't be going back to those brands.
