Pros & Cons
Pros
It runs all of my programs (taxing music/video production all at the same time with ease. This is after every driver has been updated and i have reinstalled windows using all methods. I keep it plugged in most of the time.
The 18-inch display is a dream come true for any gamer. Whether i'm exploring open-world rpgs or engaging in fast-paced fps games, this laptop's display does it all justice. The customizable rgb lighting adds a touch of personalization.
The screen resolution is 2560x1440 at a max of 240 hz. This is a big step up from my old acer nitro 5 that only had amax of 60 hz!
Cons
Disappointing customer service. Can't get a live person to help via microsoft or amazon. It's not worth the time or money to go through the hassle of trying to get it fixed. I'm so disgusted with this company and the lack of concern or care they have ... Read More
When i shipped it back, it's just over 12 lbs altogether. Now i have constant audio tearing, which sounds like static about every two minutes.
This is the kind of shoddy professional support that just reinforces how dell doesn't have its act together which will steer me clear of them in the future. When there are major problems with it, they'd build a much more satisfied/reassured customer b... Read More
Began beeping and error messages everywhere. Ran through all the same troubleshooting alone and again with dell. Now they think it’s something with the motherboard!
Highlights
Quality
Great performance and capability, display is awesome, runs hot and fan is loud and constant, that is my only complaint
The cooling system works exceptionally well, keeping the laptop's temperatures in check even during intense gaming sessions.
For gaming it has an rtx 3070 ti which handles any triple a title i throw at it, just finished up god of war on ultra in1440p w... Read More
Playing games with the computer not plugged in drains it within 30 mins.
Price
It's worth every penny, and i couldn't be happier with my purchase.
If you can afford it, go for it!
But i personally find this a great choice for the money and the amount of technology you get.
In conclusion i will mention the price.
Shipping
Was packed carefully and shipped on time, no damage to box or computer.
First they tell me they don't want me to return the package then a month later they want me to before my refund can be processed.
Packaging/appearance
Yes the fans can be a little noisy at times, but that's what you can expect from something packing this much power into a laptop.
Competitiveness
The amd cpu outperforms 11900 i9 (non-oc) desktop cpus and the 4080 mobile gpu outperforms 4070 desktops gpus.
This is with the rtx 3070ti and amd ryzen 9 6900 hx version with 32 gig ram.
