Donald Mccracken "DM18265" (Winston-Salem NC USA): This laptop stinks and dell support was no help. This studio laptop (which i've had over 1 yr) turns off randomly (likely an overheating issue). If i run games, it turns off in the middle of the game - running email or surfing the web (turns off randonmly). I cant run this laptop for any length of time (it could be 10 mins or 3 hours; it eventually turns off with no message or warning). ALL Dell diagnostics run and find NO issues. Dell support recommended running diags and updating bios (which was already done). I will not buy Dell again - please consider a different laptop make and model...
Henry Nguyen (New York, NY, USA): I was slightly disappointed that a machine of this class did not have more USB ports and none on the video port side of the machine. This means it is hard to put it on a modern USB KVM. Also was sad that it does not have built in Bluetooth. Overall it performs well enough, however it is my wife's computer and she does not stress a box. Gave the same computer to my grandson and it failed after two weeks. Dell replaced the disk drive promptly but I don't think that a computer that is as high performance as this should use components that would fail this quickly. Obviously low QC and no burn in. Time will tell if these are reliable or not.
Corey Stanford "Iron Savior" (Heart of Texas): I Purchased this Laptop about 3 days ago and was quite pleased with the performance at first. However, After being on for about 4 hours one day it would load web pages very slowly,and about an hour after that I was flashed with a blue screen before the laptop automatically shut down. I'm slightly more computer proficient than the average person so I was able to ascertain that the cause was an overheat, and that it was not uncommon for this particular laptop. Other than the need for a more powerful cooling fan this laptop is decent for the price, but you might wanna spend the extra $100-200 and buy a similar Toshiba or Asus.
