Dell Gaming Laptop G3579-5941BLK-PUS G3 15 3579 - 15.6" Full HD IPS Anti-Glare Display - 8th Gen Intel i5 Processor - 8GB DDR4 - 128GB SSD+1TB HDD - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 4GB, Windows 10 64bit

I bought this laptop about a month ago as an upgrade to my POS HP 15 notebook. I'm mostly a casual gamer (read: console); I don't stream or anything and I just basically wanted something that would freaking run Planet Coaster, as well as screw around with mods on older games.I was slightly discouraged by some of the reviews, but I have not had any problems. Straight out of the box, setup was a breeze.Framerate complaints: None. Some of the people whining about this must be more hardcore than I. I can run Planet Coaster (which is pretty demanding specs wise) on ultra settings without any problems. It did lag a little when I got 1500+ guests in my park, but that's to be expected.The only crash I've had is when I console spawned 1000+ Heimskrs (an NPC) in Skyrim and then tried to kill them all. Nope. Laptop no like. So unless you're trying to do crazy things like that, no issues here.Alt-tabbing between programs is super quick, as is the wifi. I can pause a game, look up something online, and switch back without problems.The screen is okay for the price. It seems kind of matte, but I have it hooked up to my TV via HDMI so I don't really care.I don't use the built in keyboard a lot, but the backlight is cool, and it works just fine when I have to use it. I also like how the mousepad is a little offset so I don't bump it as much while typing. Not sure how well this would work if you're left handed though.Battery life is ok too. Depending on what I'm playing it took maybe 6 hours to almost kill the battery. Longer if you're just online or watching youtube or something.A few cons:I do wish there was at least one more USB port. I use an external keyboard when hooked up to the TV, which leaves only 2 for my wireless mouse (God forbid I have to charge it), whatever controller I want to use, etc.FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP WITH THE MCAFEE. I hate McAfee. It's awful. No, I don't want to buy it. Stop deleting files out of whatever I'm downloading because you think they're bad. No, I still don't want to buy. Yes, I'm aware my free trial is going to expire. Cool it with the popups reminding me of it also. I spent more time at the beginning trying to figure out how to disable the 10000 things McAfee "protects" from than anything.Summary: If you want super hardcore settings, framerate, etc. then yes, you're going to have to spend more money. For the price and how casually I play I'm happy with my purchase.

They say the screen is dim and that the keyboard is unconfy, if this is not going to be your MAIN computer, you have nothing to worry about, screen and keyboard work fine.This laptop works just fine, great build quality for its price, comfortable keyboard and mousepad. I added 8Gb more of RAM to make it work faster and better with design programs such as Photoshop and Illustrator. It does get a little warm when playing games, but nothing to be worried about. Battery life is fine, works faster when plugged in.Very resistant material, hinges are strong and steady.I got it for $650 and then got me 8Gb of RAM for $43. Worth every penny.

I really enjoy this laptop. I purchased it for college and also for light gaming. The games i mostly play are Call of Duty, PUBG, Fortnite, Stardew Valley, Minecraft, and a couple of other moderately demanding games and this laptop can handle them respectively.It has no problem running work based programs such as all Word applications, Adobe Premiere and casual internet browsing and video streaming.What really blew me way was that I am able to plug in my Oculus Rift and play games off my Oculus Library, and also my Steam VR library. (Note: I have the GTX 1050 version.) However, if you are planning on playing VR, I would recommend investing in a laptop stand, one that elevates the laptop up a bit and one that has cut outs so the fans are not covered up. This will allow for a less hot laptop. I still encountered slight thermal throttling, but it was rare, and it did not ruin the VR experience. One more thing for playing VR with this laptop. You want to have the charger cable plugged in and charging the laptop while you play. If you don't, it will lag to the point where any game is unplayable.A couple of things i dislike about the laptop is its track pad. Its not horrible, I believe it used Windows percision drivers and gestures are always read correctly, it just feels a little lose. The panel is also not the best, however you are able to find an upgrade replacement, but keep in mind it might void your warranty.Other then that this is a very solid laptop, I would recommend it to anyone, it looks nice, I like how for a gaming laptop it not the typical read and black. It looks professional and subtle and at the same time does have a slight gaming feel with the WASD keys being outlined in blue.After about 6 months with this laptop, I still have yet to run into any major issues. Hopefully it stays that way and I did not just jinx myself.Conclusion:I really like this laptop.Do I regret buying it: NoWould I recommend it: YesThe End
