So far so good, I will keep you guys posted!

Notes (05/02/2017):- Make sure to update all drivers on Dell's website, for some reason their software do not pick up the new updates- Experienced some glitches as well as some malfunctioning with headphone jack drivers, but everything is working fine so far.- Battery life is impressive. 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.

Using chrome on this computer can be lagged. Besides, there is an issue when you use external screen via HDMI cable. I reinstall windows and remove messy stuff installed in the laptop. It looks good now.

I have only had it up for about 2 days.All went well installing and updating windows 10. My slow internet service took about 6 hours for all the updates.The only surprise was that when doe I have 165 applications running, checking it with task manager.On my old HP Pavilion dv also a quad I run 85 applications. The HP was a windows 7 conversion to windows 10.On a Lenovo also a conversion I see about 100 applications running.The Dell was not intended for gaming, but for engineering number crunching.So far it boots from password enter to screen in about 3-4 secs. The OS drive is SSD, a Toshiba.The main drive is a Western Digital 1TB HDD, 5400 RPM, not the fastest. I was empty.Later I may swap out that for a 500GB SSD.All in all I recommend this unit. It is very fast.I can't state the gaming attributes, as I am not a gamer. Look for an update if find problems.But for now I am very pleased.It will be used for heavy software compiling and running Excel macros.Update 8/4/2017All is still working very good. The laptop is very quick. I did change out drive D: a 1TB HDD to a 500GB Crucial SSD (Amazon purchase)It was not difficult. Used the Acronis True Image that came with the SSD. The Acronis software was a little confusing but worked. Suggest you watch You Tube videos showing and explaining use.The Dell recognized the cloned SSD just fine. I had to rename drive back to D:Also used Windows to relocate the Documents folder to drive D: Worked perfectly.It appears the SSD has increased battery life to 14hrs plus at idle.Very happy with this laptop used as a engineering work station.

to solve the freezing issue, be sure to disable hardware acceleration in your browser/anywhere else it may be (could not find one in Video drivers, but disabling the one in chrome solved the freezing issue for me.

Great buy! If you've never used an SSD before
Greg Pfeifer (Aug 14, 2017)

Great buy! If you've never used an SSD before, the performance increase is immediately noticeable (assuming your OS is booting from it). If you're considering buying primarily for gaming, I'd suggest spending a bit more money for a higher level GTX graphics card and maybe more RAM. However, I am running games like Starcraft 2 and Command and Conquer 4 on maxed out graphics with absolutely no lag or frame rate issues. As for the newest games, I'm not sure the GTX 1050 will hold up, but this is still a solid gaming laptop and the SSD paired with the i7 processor provides for a quick and responsive experience.

Hard to beat for the price.
02stampede (Sep 4, 2017)

I compared a bunch of different laptops suitable for gaming and work. This one was the best price for the specs I was looking for. Build quality is nice. It doesn't feel cheap. It has a matte, slightly rubbery finish which feels nice. No, the screen is not an ips panel but it still looks pretty good. I have high quality monitors for my desktop and this screen doesn't bother me a bit. It can run most of the newest games on medium settings. I get 50-60 fps on BF1 and that's without any further tweaking. I thought the red accents would turn me off but it actually looks pretty nice. Not too "loud" or bright. The fans do get a bit noisy but not too bad to where it's annoying. Overall, I would say this is a great gaming laptop in it's price range. It boots fast and runs windows applications very quickly thanks to the ssd and i7. Almost as quick as my desktop with an i7, GTX 1080, 16gb ram, etc. You really don't need more than 8gb of ram unless you are doing some serious multi tasking.

Upgrading to a higher tier of memory would have been preferable. But all in all, very nice computer. Good solid feel to it, had many HP computers in the past that just felt flimsy.

Everyone saying the display is horrible, it is not that bad. The screen works for my uses (Work/School), I am not a graphics designer or anything.I did add patriot viper memory upping it to 32 GB. I would have been fine with 16GB.Used for 2 months now.

I had my original laptop (a Toshiba Satellite M505) since 2010 and it work well for everything I used it for. Then last month the second battery died along with the charger, so it was time to upgrade and after looking at all the options I choose the Dell Gaming laptop. I've had it for about a month now and so far, it has been a wonder to explore. The processing speed feels lightning quick compared to what I had and the quality of graphics is quite nice. I found the backlight for the keypad to be an amazing feature letting me type when its dark or hard to see well inside. I'm still learning about the other features and programs pre-installed but so far, they have shone usefulness (NVidia GeForce account, Xbox connection, Windows Defender, etc.). I should also talk about Windows 10, my original laptop started with Windows 7 and worked beautifully till they upgraded to Windows 10. It still ran well but certain programs and links to accounts simple got lost or could never connect. This laptop came with 10 so it has those bugs solved and most of the issues solved. Now for the big one: the gaming experience, was it good? Answer: yes, like I never have before! Playing on or offline, plugged-in or not gaming has never been so smooth for me. I joined steam ad installed Hollow Knight and it?s been a blast all the way. Battery life with last between 7 to 5 hours while gaming, and supposedly up to 15 hours when passive, unheard off for my previous laptop. As for the cons of this computer, not many but they are distinct. This laptop comes with a SD card slot, 3 USB ports, a LAN plug, and a HBMI port. It does have a DVD player, this can be a pro or con since there are no major moving parts inside to break or collect dust, but it means music discs ad movies will need to be on flash drives or you need to get a portable DVD player. The other major issue can be price, at 900 it can be pricey, though compared to other laptops with some of the same features it?s a good deal. So, in summary: Pros - great control, lightweight, good graphics, long battery life, useful built-in features and programs, solid-state hard drive with no moving parts, and strong compatibility with Windows 10. Cons - no DVD drive and soft keyboard along with a mid-range price tag. Overall, I have enjoyed the Dell experience and I have to say I love learning everything this computer has to offer.

Sip (Dec 7, 2017)
on Amazon
The item arrived just as pictured. The look and feel is great. The surfaces are covered in a soft rubber that makes if feel comfortable to rest your palm or wrist on and also provide better grip than the normal plastic material most laptops come with at this price range. For a gaming oriented laptop it is definitely more on the sleek end of the style spectrum and the red accents are a darker in colour. The mousepad and keys are very responsive. I have fairly large hands and the smaller keys are still not an issue, although the direction keys are the smallest I have seen on any keyboard layout and could be bigger in my opinion.Specs wise, I researched fairly extensively, and for the 699 deal I got this laptop for there was nothing that could match. No system on any major retailer I could find had a laptop with an i7-7700 and a 1050 at 700 unless it did not have windows installed. For the 899 regular price there are certainly competitive options, but if it's on sale again I'm sure you will not be disappointed. I don't have a great gaming reference as far as super demanding games, but playing some WoW since I picked it up I have managed to stay at 70-100+ fps at near max graphic settings.
