97 of 104 people found the following review helpful World's okayest laptop, June 19, 2017 This review is from: Dell Inspiron 15.6" Full HD Gaming Laptop (7th Gen Intel Quad Core i7, 8 GB RAM, 1000 GB HDD + 128GB SSD), NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Graphics) (i5577-7359BLK-PUS), Metal Chassis (Personal Computers) The good: Hardware, very good performance for a portable. Keyboard and trackpad are nice if you are into using those. Display looks good, Decent battery life considering the hardware, about 4h30min. The OK: Red accents not as gaudy as expected. Still a bit gaudy but beats paying double the price for a non gaming laptop with similar hardware. The annoying: This is a common thing with "gaming" laptops, dual GPUs, intel and nvidia one, if you add a USB display you need 3 drivers that don't really work well with each other. I ended up setting up a script that reinstalls whichever driver I want to use. The bad: As with most laptops bloatware ridden win10, I recommend zeroing it out and installing something decent. Speakers, you don't expect good speakers on a laptop but dell has outdone themselves with these ones, they are worse than 20 year old blown out drive-thru speakers used to sell questionable tacos.

Not a lot of bloatware and the TN screen is not a big deal and you get a faster refresh rate than IPS also easy on the eyes. The video card does great on high end games at top settings with no freezing, the TI version is not exactly better, just better in some areas. I'm very impressed with it and if it is not enough room on the SSD then do what I did and buy another 256 GB (SATA) on crucial along with an 8 GB DDR4 2400Mhz stick of ram and it's a Ferrari. Get a good free antivirus like avira, get rid of some of the bloatware but be careful not to delete anything with drivers, and if you plan to video capture leave the Xbox app. I really can't believe the bad reviews, even with the addons your under a grand with a very high end machine. The charger is long and has a nice power light along with the slick look of the keyboard and red backlights which actually looks great so if your contemplating this vs an asus or the hp omen like I was I'd def...

This is a screaming fast computer with good battery and the only problem I had was with chrome freezing but that was resolved by turning off hardware acceleration in chrome. This is a great deal with the 512 pcie m.2 ssd and i7 7700 processor. Very solid and fast machine. I wiped and did a fresh install of windows 10 to get rid of bloatware. very happy with this purchase. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you? |
