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

Weight is heavy especially if you are a mobile person and may want to carry it to work or class. The speed is awesome. Easy to set up. Colour is lovely. will recommend getting a cover as dirt from your fingers may stain the top and leave grease marks. Really pretty colour. Some reason while Im using it, it may freeze on me. Still investigating as to why this is happening.

Pros- It does everything I need. Easy access to hardware was #1 for me. The heavyness issues reported in other review is not a concern for me. Overall, its one the best Dell laptops II have owned.

Laptop received DOA. Plugged in power and would not start up. No lights, no power, nothing. Returned for a refund.

Ok

Some keys are not working on keyboard since the first day

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

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.

I received the PC today and immediately started to get it configured. Throughout the entire configuration process, and the windows update process, the PC constantly put advertising popups on the screen. There is no way to avoid creating a Microsoft account and they are not shy about telling you that they will be tracking your behavior. None of this has anything to do with the PC itself. I suspect that ALL new PCs have this annoying issue. Once configured, you can find and remove the software apps that are responsible for all the advertising. As for the PC itself, its fast. It seems to be as fast as some of my tower machines, but it is much faster than the PC it is replacing. Dont expect to get a lot of battery life out of it, though. Battery life is not important to me anyway. In using the PC, the one very distasteful item is the touch pad. It is so sensitive that its very difficult to get the pointer to stay where you want it. Consequently, I was constantly making choices that I didnt intend, simply because the pointer moved before I could touch the left button under the pad. So, if you buy one of these, invest in a separate mouse and disable that touch pad. The PC comes with Office 365, which means you are tied to Microsoft forever at their annual subscription rates. I dont plan to use Office 365, so this is not a big deal for me. However, I suspect that Microsoft will constantly be asking me to apply for a license.

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.

Such a great laptop. Very sleek design too.
