Dell Inspiron i5577-7342BLK-PUS,15.6" Gaming Laptop, (Intel Core i7,16GB,512GB SSD),NVIDIA GTX 1050

The laptop functioned fine and was quick and responsive for the evening that I had it and had all the same specs as what I ordered. However, like a lot of the other reviews, I found the display quality to be terrible. It has more light bleed than my MSRP $300 laptop, color accuracy is low, brightness is low, and the viewing angles are terrible. The overall effect is a dull, imprecise display with only one angle where you can see what's on the screen. It makes no sense to put such a poor screen on a gaming laptop, even if the GTX 1050 isn't top of the line. Count on needing to hook up an external monitor to enjoy your visuals.A possible detractor for any potential buyer may be the red backlit keyboard AND red lettering. I wasn't expecting this to be such a pain in the neck to use, but I basically could not see the keys without leaning in. A minor annoyance if you type from memory, but I still do not know why anyone would put a red backlit keyboard on a laptop. As this is more personal preference, I haven't docked the rating for this.While the build is not phenomenal (it's plastic), I couldn't find any obvious structural weaknesses, and for the price I thought it was really good. Still, it's not rugged and you will need to be careful with it. I ended up returning it because of the display, and though I did have to pay return shipping, the seller treated me right, so no complaints there.

Nice computer. Fast boot. Great graphics. Loaded Fallout 4, Lightroom and Photoshop. All performed flawlessly. BTW, the screen looks fine, after reading the reviews about people swapping out the monitor, I was expecting garbage. It really look good, and I edit photos for a living. It's not pro, and you do have to tilt it to the right angle, but it's nothing to worry about. Certainly would not even consider swapping it out. BTW, it does look awesome connected to my 32" Samsung. Fallout 4 on the 32' looked great with this laptop. One tip, when you connect a second monitor via HTML, you will have to reselect the sound source, it defaulted to the HTML, even if it had no speakers.Also, after I did all the software updates, I was surprised to see the video source defaulted to the Intel onboard graphics, which will slow the system down. I had to go into the Nvidia settings and select the Nvidia graphics as the default for global settings. I thought that strange and might not have noticed if I hadn't run a benchmark and was surprised at how slow the graphics were until I changed the default.The BIOS settings are really dumbed down, not much to do there.The build is good, seems sturdy. It is not a light weight computer, but as a desktop replacement, I did not think it would be. Keyboard is good, and looks sharp with the red backlighting.Overall, very pleased, so far. I almost marked it down for having to fiddle with the Sound and video settings, and the consumerish BIOS, but it doesn't really detract from what seems to be a fine computer for the price. Highly recommended. It really is amazing the amount of computing power we can carry around in a small package for not much money.

I got tired of using older computers from work as a personal computer. Got tired of just minimal specs. I wanted FAST! I wanted 4 cores hyper threaded (8 logical processors). I wanted at least 2 GHz cores. I wanted 16gb memory and I wanted fast memory. I wanted a better resolution than what I had before (1366 x 768) so I could see more of each app I was using. And I wanted to finally have an SSD drive. This system was exactly what I needed. It's literally perfect. It boots up in 30 seconds. I no longer wait for Photoshop to open. I no longer wait for my financial app to open. Everything about it is super fast. I would recommend this to anyone needing a fast laptop.

 I bought the laptop and months after, the screw near the charger went lose, contacted the seller and no response. I then reinstalled the screw but it kept getting lose until the clips that hold the frame together broke while opening the lid. Now I contacted Dell and they are saying my warranty was up because the seller had the machine for a while before I bought it. So if you are buying a laptop check on the warranty because you can buy it today and the warranty will could be up in a couple days. Now I have work to do and might need to send my machine to Dell for repair at additional cost. So bare in mind all of that when getting a laptop through 3rd party. So opening the lid is a task because there is nothing holding the hinges in place and I cannot move the lid freely. See picture and video evidence.

Great laptop. The only cons that I saw:- it’s the weight (5.6 pound) if you need to travel- The temperature located around the letters “uiop”, “jkl;” and “,./“ on the keyboard. Yo can feel the heat in that section when you’re using around 50% or 8GB Ram (16GB RAM Total) and a lot of process in your pc. As I use a wireless keyboard, It doesn’t affect me the heat sensation on keyboard.- Laptop screen. It’s ok... the colors are not very intense. It’s a shame because it has powerful component. I’m using 2 additional monitor, so it doesn’t bother me anyway. For gaming it’s recommended that you use the hdmi built in port.But in overall it’s incredible fast without freezing moments at the moment ( using it by 45 days almost continuous)

I bought this product a month ago and so far it has exceeded my expectations. The body is very rigid with little to no bend, yet the laptop is surprisingly light weight. The screen is a significant improvement over my previous laptop. Don't let the negative screen reviews dissuade you, this screen is one of the best matte TN panel screens I have seen on a laptop.The only downside to this laptop and issue that I have is on start up, the laptop freezes. This is an issue that is present on almost every start up of the device on both waking from sleep and powering on from being shut off. There is a simple work around by pressing ctrl + alt + delete and opening task manager but this is very inconvenient and there shouldn't be any reason to have a work around for a brand new laptop.

I was really happy with my purchase at first, but after a few months of use the laptop starts slowing down and making really loud ventilation sounds.

Sound quality is worse. I bought same model twice but same problem occurs for both of the laptops. Really frustrating.

I have been using this laptop for several months. I use this laptop for programming lighting and automation systems.

powerful laptop

For the past year this laptop has been perfect for everything. It's literally something you'll never get pissed at.

Beautiful and powerful computer, arrived early in perfect new condition, absolutely no problems in first week

Was able to run OBS at 60fps 1080p with 100% cpu usage (tested with parallel processing loop in matlab to use up cpu).

Great computer. Planning on updating ram to 32 GB and if I consider I need more space in the future I have space to put a 3.

Very nice price and having 16gb of ram was important

This laptop is pretty good for the money but comes with a few KNOWN ISSUES!! Come'on Dell! The fan noise is unbearable!!!
