Dell Gaming Laptop - 15" FHD, 8th Gen Intel Core i7-8750H CPU, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD+1TB HDD, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050TI, Windows 10 Home, Black - G3579-7989BLK-PUS

When I received my laptop in the mail today I decided to take another persons advice and update everything from system settings including downloading geoforce experience from nvidias website. When I was almost done I noticed that the product key was invalid. Amazon customer support was zero help and I had to manually purchase a new key. This was fixable, but I wanted to warn future buyers. Overall with the software as Im typing on it right now, it seems to be at a fast speed and the backlit keyboard works fine. A bit disappointed that I cant change the colors, right now its blue. Battery was included with charger and I checked computer specs. Everything else seems okay. I have been searching for a decent computer for over a week that was within my budget and this was it. I didnt want to spend a fortune on something that could be cheap if bought in parts and upgraded later. I am a heavy multitasker, I had discord/netflix in one window along with 2 games in another so I needed high end specs. Update: I tested it by running the 4 programs mentioned and Im pleasantly surprised. It seemed to run everything the way I wanted it to. I posted a screenshot in attachments. I brought my computer to my parents house to visit without the charger to test this as well. The battery lasted for a good 4-6 hours after filling it up. If your computer gets too hot I would suggest getting this item from Amazon. Its $20 and you can hook it under your computer while its on your lap. Dont listen to the other 1 star reviews because they dont know how to handle these expensive products careful enough so it wont get damaged. Ive had a cheap 2013 macbook for 5 years, the only problem I had was with the LCD screen. https://www.amazon.com/Havit-HV-F2056-Laptop-Cooler-Cooling/dp/B00NNMB3KS/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1538677692&sr=1-2-spons&keywords=laptop+cooling+pad&psc=1

I purchased this machine Nov 2018 and took advantage of Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal and paid well under $1000 for the system. At $879 -- it is a deal! If you are paying over $950...you might as well upgrade to the 17" screen. Me I need a compact gaming only system and this is it. It runs Fallout 4 flawlessly (which is definitely saying something if anyone knows Bethesda) The set up is fast and is not troublesome in anyway (the noise mentioned in other reviews is negated by even a cheap set of earbuds. My main critique is the pointing device. It is HUGE and gets in the way when you are gaming using your keyboard. It took quite a while to master the ergonomics of not tapping it while playing. I you do purchase this system I recommend one of the inexpensive optical drives, an inexpensive set of ear phones, and a cheap mouse. My total for those accessories cost way less than $20. I highly recommend this system -- it is for the casual gamer not the hardcore living life in the virtual world crowd. It feels fairly rugged but I worry about the stiffness of the earphone jack, anything with those tight tolerances will surely be trouble and I will update my review should it ever become a real problem. 256 SSD is the right size and the 1TB HD is more than sufficient. I find the screen just right for me. Overall a good buy if the price is under $1000 however, there are other systems you should look for if you want to spend more than that.

Couple days of use and had to reset Windows, the wifi driver had issues. After reset had to register and download driver through Dell help. System is running well, now. Fan is somewhat loud when rendering kicks in. Saw unit for as cheap as $650 but with less hardware and limited quality. Like it better then the flashy Lenovo it replaced.

Got this laptop a week ago and so far I love it. The configuration I have has 128gb SSD + 1TB HDD. 1050ti and 8gb RAM. Load times are fast, everything feels nice. I havent tried to play too intensive of a game yet, but ran City Skylines no problem. I do development in Ureal 4 and it runs fine as well. The only issue I have with it, which is why I rated it 4/5 stars, is the built in WiFi Card is not very good. Using my USB adapter I have on my desktop, in the other room, I could get at least 10MB down on Steam. With this built in WiFi I get about 4.5MB max down. Overall thus far I would definitely recommend this for more or a semi casual gamer. I think its great for the price! ($800 is what I paid for it)
