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.

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.

Being doing papers and projects on Adobe Muse, Illustrator, Photoshop, Word, Excel as well as browsing for at least 4-5 hours solely on battery.
