Features & Design
Optimum performance for gaming, surfing and everything else
Multi-tasking processing: With 6th Gen Intel i5 Quad-Core processors, you’ll have all the power you need to enjoy both gaming and entertainment.
Stream and re-stream videos: The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M is your performance-class graphics card with 4GB GDDR5 discrete memory. This graphics powerhouse gives you high frame-per-second rates in games and accelerates video editing and transcoding.
Solid-State Drive (SSD): Solid-state drives are similar to the flash-based memory that you find in USB memory devices and have no moving parts, making them more secure and less prone to failure than standard hard drives. SSDs also pull your data from the drive faster and outperform 10,000 rpm Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) in read/write speeds, meaning you’ll also get faster load times on game maps and other information that’s stored on your device.

***Summary***
Overall, I am very pleased with this laptop. I think it's a fantastic value for the parts you are getting. The overall look and feel of the laptop is great, the red trim is not overbearing. Using the laptop feels fast and snappy. Boots Windows 10 in less than 20 seconds! The weight and size keeps it portable, but it's no Ultrabook. The laptop doesn't have a touchscreen, if that's a deal-breaker for you.
More details are below, wanted to keep the summary at the top for the folks who don't care to read the whole review.
***Short review***
Build quality seems good to me. The unit is all plastic on the outside; however, I am okay with this. It is a very soft plastic that is nice to the touch. The unit does not feel flimsy and seems fairly durable. It also appears (at first glance) that access to the HDD and RAM won't be terrible, as opposed to some other new laptops on the market, there seems to be a removable plate/panel on the bottom of the laptop to access the bottom of the mainboard, picture attached.
Boot time is rather fast. From the time I hit the power button it takes about 17 seconds until I am at my Windows 10 desktop environment. This is exactly what I was looking for. You will not achieve this in laptops without an SSD hard drive.
Wireless internet signal is pretty strong. I am fully able to receive a signal in the very back room of my house (35+ feet w/ walls), on par with iPhone 6 Plus.
The main storage drive is an SSD, it is a SanDisk Z400s M.2 2280 256GB. Read/Write speeds are fairly strong, I have attached a picture from a CrystalDiskMark speed test I ran. The SSD drive from Dell has (4) partitions, you are left with approximately 200GB free of 225GB available when you receive it. The Dell backup image takes up about 12GB. The fact that your operating system is installed on the M.2 drive would mean that you can add an additional HDD or SSD in the spare 2.5" SATA bay for additional storage. I am not familiar with the spare bay yet.
Memory/RAM is pre-installed 8GB of DDR3, installed in 1 of 2 available slots, according to CPUZ. This leaves spare slot open for future expansion. The RAM is PC3-12800 (800mHz) (PC3 1600) Hyundai Electronics P/N - HMT41GS6BFR8A-PB, with a CAS Latency of 11, according to CPUZ.
Battery life is unknown at this point, I haven't had enough time to fully test this. While playing around with the laptop for the last 3-4 hours I still have about 87% left.
Keyboard is comfortable to use, even with large hands. The 10-key pad is a little undersized, but this keeps the primary keyboard area nice and roomy. The CapsLock key does have a light on the key to indicate whether or not CapsLock is on; although, NumLock does not. The backlit keyboard features (2) brighness levels and is a nice blueish white color light output. The backlit keyboard seems to provide adequate light.
Sound quality seems very good thus far. I watched a couple music videos online and the vocals were clear. The bass was lacking, but this is a laptop, this is to be expected.
I really like that the charger has an indication light on the cord, on the end that plug into the laptop port, that lets you know the charger is powered. The charger also features a built in strap to keep the cord neatly stowed while not using.
Not an overly amount of bloatware installed. Mainly Dell proprietary applications for updates and registration.
***For those who care...why I decided on this laptop.***
I had been shopping for a laptop for everyday use that could also handle heavier tasks such as multi-tasking with multiple browser windows open, music playing, light duty photo editing etc.. I did want a laptop that was portable, but I was not willing to trade off the "more affordable" power you get by not shopping for an Ultrabook. I was also not as concerned with a touchscreen (don't care for a smudgy screen).
My criteria was:
Sub $1000
256GB or greater SSD, I wanted something that would boot Windows fast!
8GB Ram Minimum
15" Screen Minimum
1920x1080 Resolution Minimum
Decent dedicated GPU.

The first thing you need to do when you get this laptop is update the drivers. I suggest going through the individual companies instead of Dell's driver hub. The wireless card is fine, but without the proper driver you will experience frequent disconnect/reconnect that can be incredibly annoying.
My laptop came with a 256gb M.2 Solid State Drive. That leaves a bay open for another 2.5" SSD or HD. I got a cheap 1TB HD for my shows and movies. The SSD is reserved for my games.
This model also comes with an open spot to stick another RAM card in it. Make sure you get DDR3L, I put another 8GB stick in there because I'm a huge multitasker and I always have 10-15 chrome pages open even when I'm gaming,
Adding both the extra HD and RAM was very simple. Literally anyone could figure it out.
Now, performance is acceptable. I knew I wouldn't be getting the best of the best as far as gaming quality, but I still wanted a machine that I could play on. I am a hardcore gamer and I can easily play for 5+ hours without noticing the time pass. I wanted a laptop for on-the-go gaming. Sometimes I'll go to Denny's by myself and game while having some breakfast. I can play Black Ops 3, Fallout 4, Skyrim, and many other games without stutter. Ironically Starcraft 2 is the only game that lags on me, but I think that may be more caused by bad internet connections, not my laptop. Most games I get med/high graphics with at least 30fps. Putting a game on low will always get me a steady 60FPS experience. You're at least getting console quality gaming with this product. The gtx 960m isn't bad. You will have decent gaming laptop here. For under 900 bones(upgrades included) it's a deal you can't beat
The battery is a beast! I also use this laptop for work. One day I forgot my charger at home and I was able to go all day and even game during my lunch break. I usually spend 4-6 hours a day on my laptop at work. This guy hasn't died on me yet and I have definitely put it to the test. (hint- set your display to high contrast, you will save hours of battery life and save yourself lots of eye damage)
Every "professional" reviewer on youtube slammed the screen quality, keyboard, and the touchpad. The screen color is acceptable and the resolution is 1920x1080 -golden standard unless you want 4k, The keyboard is quiet and illuminated. The touchpad works perfectly for me. I can barely tap it and it registers the click.
This really is a great deal. I only have a couple critiques: The plastic attracts fingerprints. No USB type C conection.
You wont find a better laptop for the price. This is a wonderful deal and I look forward to keeping this laptop for at least 3 years before I will need an upgrade.

EDIT 2: I have had this laptop for 5 months now, and the laptop is still in pristine working condition. Asides from a messy keyboard (I am too lazy to clean it), it is fine. The battery is still in excellent condition and hold it's charge just as well as before. I will soon be looking to upgrade it by increasing the ram and adding a second hard drive. There have been questions about the hard ware. In terms of upgrading, there is a second hard drive slot and room for an additional 8GB of ram. The laptop comes with no optical drive however, an external optical drive can be used.
I am a student doing my A-Levels and this laptop is perfect for me. I wanted a laptop that will last a long time, run quickly, and be good for gaming every now and then. I've had this laptop for 2 days now and I will update this review as I go.
Firstly, the screen. It is very high quality and looks great from all angles. I've never before been picky about watching high res YouTube videos or movies but with this screen, you can really tell the difference. It has a very high resolution and is ideal for me. Only two draw back are that some of the text on windows itself looks low res, however I'm sure it's an easy fix, I'm just lazy. Secondly, there is a small amount of bleeding when the screen is black. It's not always visible either. When i'm watching a TV show and the screen goes black, I don't see any bleed but sometimes when the screen blacks out for whatever reason it can sometimes be seen. Not a problem for me since it doesn't show up when there is something to look at.
Secondly, speed. The speed on this laptop is insane. It's new, but even after putting all my programs on it, the time from pressing the on button to being able to open a program is ~5-10 seconds. Programs open instantly and games run very quickly. I haven't pushed it properly yet but from what I have tried, I get a VERY good picture, with at least 45 FPS.
Thirdly, storage. I can see storage on this becoming a problem since it is shipped with 250 GB. Luckily, there is a second hard drive slot which I will likely put a second SSD in which will solve my problem, and I bought this with the intent of doing this.
The style of this laptop is very nice. I don't mind the US layout, I'm adaptable. The track pad is very far to the left which may be a problem for some, but I am ambidextrous so I don't care.The red on black looks very nice especially on the Dell logo and the speakers.
Battery life is good. I can get around 6 hours when I'm watching TV, which is good for me since I'm likely only going to be using this unplugged when I can't be bothered to plug in the charger.
Other things include the speed with which it arrived (2 days), how easy it was to set up out of the box, and the options to upgrade RAM and to add a second hard drive. After reading reviews, I found out that the laptop is supposedly shipped with bad drivers for the wireless and track pad. I have had no problems with the track pad yet. When I started using this laptop I plugged in an ethernet cable and updated all drivers and thus have had no problems with the wireless (quite the opposite, on previous computer I could reach ~4-5 MB/s but on this I can get 7-8MB/s which is good).
Overall, I would say this laptop is perfect for me and I'm very happy with the build quality, specs, style, speed etc. and would (and have) recommend it to anyone else looking for a gaming/work machine.



Would highly recommend this laptop for mid range gaming purposes and quality speakers for movies.
