Does it's Job

I'm happy with this setup. However I had to buy an display port-to-HDMI adapter because it only comes with one HDMI port, which was a bit of a surprise because I was expecting at least 2 ports. However I was able to support 2 monitors after buying said adapter. I'm able to play AAA games with ease and work as necessary, the machine works exactly how I want it to. I don't have 4K monitors yet so I haven't utilized the graphics card to its fullest capability. The only drawback I would say is that if you don't already have a Microsoft account to access its apps (like Word and Excel) you'll have to purchase the license after a trial period. Other than that I would definitely recommend buying.
Not being a Comp. Geek ... I had been looking for a NEW PC for Home/Biz Use for close to a year ... wanting a HIGHER SPEED -i7, no fail memory - 1 TSSD ...a Good Memory Card ... a SALE Price ... The 1st. PROBLEM I HAD was trying to BUY "DELL MIGRATE" to move Programs & Data over from OLD COMPUTER to NEW COMPUTER ...IT DOES NOT COME WITH COMPUTER !!! DISAPPOINTING ... Not only that ... BUT IT IS NOT AVAILABLE IN CANADA! only the US!!.... So It took me a # of days & attempts to do move my apps. & data.... P.S. I'd reviewed so many computers, I DID NOT NOTICE THAT THERE IS NO DISC DRIVE! MY BAD! I guess I have to find out if I really need a Disk Drive, and if they are an accessory for THIS COMPUTER!!!!!?????
I needed more processing power to work with software (apps) that was progressively getting more complex. The Dell G5 allows me to work fully with Adobe software. It is incredibly fast and I can cycle between open apps. The keyboard and Gaming mouse are so comfortable to use.
Is it fast? *pfft!* YEAH! If you can buy this machine, BUY It! I’ve used everything from MS-DOS to Windows 10! I say it’s a great PC! I have yet to run into any issues, I’ve made sure to do all updates and driver upgrades BEFORE anything else, I suggest you do the same.
The only complaint I’ve seen for this PC is that the cooling fan isn’t very effective, but I haven’t experienced any overheating after hours of gameplay and music production. I’ve had this PC only for a month so far, so if I do experience anything negative, I’ll update/make a new review, but gameplay has absolutely no lag and everything is very quick and efficient!
