Pros

One of my better computer purchases. I spend a ton of time researching my purchases because i know what i want. Love the windows 10 pre-install.

I like the trackpad, it stays out of the way when playing. The backlit keyboard is great! The slightly rubbery texture is nice and grippy.

This laptop meets my requirements, and i am very very happy. From dell. No problem. Fortunately this is super easy.

The screen is great, love the resolution but it's nothing to gawk over. For a developer, the matte screen leaves nothing to be desired. My dislikes are all fit and finish.

Cons

Dell customer support is unable to find any way to fix it. It's a known hardware issue, but their solution was to reinstall windows. The intel graphics drivers * constantly despite updating them to the latest driver when once comes out.

It has very fast start up with the ssd hard drive.

I opted for the non-touch fhd instead of the uhd.

While this laptop offered amazing performance for the time and was sleek, there seems to be a common issue with the hinges.

Packaging/appearance

You don't won't to go picking this thing up by the screen, always use both hands on the base.

Competitiveness

I will probably upgrade to a 500gb at some point in the future.

I added a 500gb spinning drive and upped the memory to the 16gb limit, but otherwise this is a great laptop.

While it was a solid performer back in 2018, its performance has dwindled in comparison to more recent models.
