I waited a while before writing this review in case anything came up. Which it did, but it didn't have anything to do with the PC hardware..This is a really good laptop. It's lightweight and running windows on a SSD definitely makes a difference! I've been wanting a computer that had the OS on a SSD for years now and I finally have it in this affordable little gem. The laptop itself isn't much to look at. It does have nifty red back-lighting to the keyboard, which is nice as I'm frequently in a dark room. I do wish it offered more color options for the back-light, but I'm satisfied with what I have. I do wish it was a little easier to navigate the partitions though. Since the OS is on the first partition the system defaults to trying to put literally everything on the C:/ drive. It would be more convenient if I could figure out how to get photos and docs to autosave to the D:/ drive and if my quick links linked to the second partition (D:/ drive).. There probably is a way to do it, I just haven't done it yet.The only issue I have had with the laptop didn't have anything to do with the laptop hardware, it was an OS issue. The PC I purchased is a refurb, which is fine for me, but someone forgot to take the retail OS off the PC and put the OEM OS on so it ended up throwing notifications that my windows license was about to expire, which Amazon took care of. They ended up crediting my account so I could purchase another version of windows and install myself. While it was annoying to have to go out of my way to do work on, what is to me, a new laptop but it worked out fine. Overall I give this laptop a 9 out of 10. You get what you pay for, luckily this PC is a really good mid-range gaming laptop. I'm satisfied with my purchase.

Wakey wakey eggs and bakey!After a while of playing some of my favorite video games on my Dell G5587-7866BLK-PUS G5 15 5587 (very creative name), I found it was trying to make me breakfast! Wow I thought... Technology had advanced!So with a quick sprint, I wen to the fridge and decided to help out. Mmm, egg with a side of fried computer parts! A treat for every gamer!Luckily for me I decided today I didn't feel like gnawing on burnt cpu, so no parts were damaged yet.But now let's get seriousThere is a quick fix just incase you want to play extra minutes.As shown in the picture, I stand my aspiring chef on top of two wooden bars. Any bars will do (or even paper towel rolls) Try not to cover the vents underneath it can let all the hot air out.And if thats not available sit it on your lap and spread your legs... not the most comfortable position, but... I tried it... it works...I hope it works for anyone who has an overheating laptop! And besides that it is an excellent computer, played games on high settings with no lag! A great investment! And it wont cook over the smallest things (writing papers and such)Also, it heats up more with the charger plugged in, I dunno why.

Overall this is a very, very good product. Graphics are great, computer is fast, very stylish. However the 128 GB SSD C: drive is way too small. Virtually every additional program you install defaults to the C: drive for program files and data storage. I crashed my C: drive when my Microsoft "one drive" attempted to download my pre-existing data files from the old computer to the new computer's C: drive. My Microsoft Office 365 re-installation puts my huge existing data files (mostly huge Outlook .PST files) on the C: drive. If you are fairly computer literate you can overcome these issues, but novices will have difficulties.The problem is not with the computer. Software products, including Microsoft, simply have not adapted to the dual SSD/HD configuration options to allow minimal installations on the SSD drives and huge data files on another drive.Also the Dell installation includes the dreaded SmartByte program which throttles my 1 GB/sec Ethernet connection down to a snail's pace. Deleting Smartbyte solves that issue, but each Dell "update' re-installs Smartbyte.I would definitely but this again, but only with at least a 256 GB

I purchased this laptop on a deal for $900 in April 2019, and have heavily used it every day since (so closer to 2 years than 18 months). I failed to realize the size and weight of this unit before choosing it as my university laptop choice, but it is extremely durable and reliable despite the unfriendly carrying size. This is also the first laptop I have owned in 15 years that had zero cooling or overheating issues, but that is certainly due to the added size/weight to compensate and include better cooling mechanisms. In the months that I've used this laptop, I have noticed zero degradation in speed or performance other than battery life. The battery used to last quite a few hours but is now at close to 2 hours max, a problem that I honestly consider a non issue because every tech inevitably relies on being plugged in more often than not.I feel this product is at the end of its prime years and I enjoyed every minute, but I am confident that I will enjoy using this laptop longer than anticipated with superior results. The value I've gained from my first "expensive" and new lap top was incredible and I am more likely to buy a new lap top again vice purchasing highly rated older models.

Ive had this bad babe for probably 3-4 years and she still holds true. Despite alll I've put her through. She is starting to hit her prime with the new and latest applications (cannot handle vr btw). Still, i cannot help but appreciate what she has done for me.From gta, skyrim, valorant, to subnautica, fallout, arma... and many others... she had pulled through. stayin above 60 fps most the time.Gotta admit i have her hooked to an external device setup, with her back plate removed and a fan pointing at her heating coils (since she cooks like an oven) but even still, she has pulled through for me for years where i rely on her, to this day, as my main setup.i love her.best 1200 ive spent.
