Dell G5 Gaming Notebook Computer 15.6?, Intel Core i7-8750H, Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050Ti 4GB, 8GB RAM, 1TB + 128GB SSD Storage, G5587-7037RED-PUS

Bought from a different distributer because of a sale. First laptop had weird hardware glitches such as one half of the screen being darker than the other and flickering. Mouse pad would randomly stop working. Also CPU intensive programs might blue screen the laptop when you leave them on idle for too long but you probably shouldnt do that anyway. I returned the first laptop and got my current one and the problems persisted. Despite this Ive held onto the laptop because of its power, speed, and storage space. Tech support wasnt much help but at least the warranty would let me return it if I needed too. I let my warranty expire which is probably a bad move on my part but the hardware problems have pretty much gone away and never hindered the functionality of the machine itself. The battery life isnt that bad as long as you keep in mind when you can get to outlets. It charges pretty fast and its good for about 4 or so hours of consistent use on one charge. More if youre just doing basic tasks but if youre buying this youre probably going to either use it for games, music production, or 3-D modeling. Which is what I use it for. And Ive never had any problems on that front. Its nice and durable. The rubberized finish on top wont get scuffed any worse than any other laptop. Takes stickers well. It has two hard-drives. Use them. The SSD isnt that big and things auto download to there. Do yourself a favor and take the extra five seconds to actually save things to the 1TB hard disc. Keeping the SSD clean makes sure the programs you actually want to launch from there are fast and all the things you dont use are organized. Also for some reason when I use the HDMI to connect it to a TV and try to use a streaming service it doesnt work. I just use Chromecast now. Its faster anyway. Its like a car where all the money was put into the engine and they kind of didnt care about the rest. So if you need something rugged and powerful this is it. It can take a beating and itll be really strong. But itll hit small snags inside itself every now and then that will make you hit the side of it trying to shake it loose. So far it fixes itself with a restart or with a bit of time. If you buy it you should just keep re-upping the warranty if youre planning on buying it and concerned.

I will never buy another Dell computer. This was extremely difficult to set up, with no instructions provided. Additionally, it would not connect to my external monitor after all set up was complete, and I had to factory reset in order to connect to the monitor. A week later when I unplugged the monitor from the computer, and plugged it back in, it refused to recognize the monitor again. I called Dell for help and they would not help me, even though I had only had the computer for a week. Amazon Rep was very helpful but we could not solve the problem. This computer is also built like a lead brick, extremely heavy, and several inches larger than other 15.6 inch screen laptops. I don’t know the reason for this, but it’s unappealing to me as it’s too heavy to comfortably move around. After three factory resets, I am done with Dell. I will never ever not ever buy another Dell laptop! Their computers are difficult to navigate and clunky, and their customer service is below zero.

Less than 6 months and all 3 USB ports are not functioning properly anymore. Contacted Dell and the will not warranty because the vendor had purchased from Dell a year ago! Buy direct from Dell!

the laptop keyboard is not working after 10months and the warranty expired after only 4 months

Everything is OK

The processor is excellent and so are the graphics. 8GB of RAM does leave something to be desired, but is perfectly sufficient for most uses. The main issues are a very short battery-life (1-2 hours), and a bulky design. While the laptop is nominally 15.6, that gives a deceptive impression of its actual size. Its body is significantly larger than the screen itself, which can pose significant problems finding a suitable carrying case. Hence, not a good choice if portability is important.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH THIS LAPTOP AND LACK OF THIRD PARTY CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!

Very good..

Easy setup. Did not have to go through lots of Windows update. Good stable fast computer.
