Best sounding speakers I've ever heard on a laptop, so although benchmarks are lower compared to 8th gen i5, when ran side by side with latest Samsung spin, machines were equal 85% of the time (SSD o. Surface could be the reason why?)

what could have been

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was really excited to get this computer. New i7, 16gb, video card, SSD, and most of all, 4k screen, seemed too good to be true at the 1200. price point. And it turned out, probably was.
Physically, the laptop looked great. Although it was heavy, it still seemed portable due to the slimness factor. But problems began as soon as I turned on the laptop. I had the screen go black on a few occasions (each time a re-boot was required to get the screen back on). The windows update was taking a very long time considering the specs.
After all updates, the biggest issue was how SLOW the laptop was. That, and the annoying "black screen" as well as a track pad that sometimes lagged a few seconds behind my fingers.
Ultimately, I returned this laptop due the above mentioned problems. If Dell is able to fix them, this laptop would go from two stars to four and a half.

Activate your phone on the Cricket network with this Cricket SIM card activation kit. It works universally to fit standard, micro and nano SIM card holders, and it provides the option of keeping your current phone number or switching to a new one. This Cricket SIM card activation kit installs quickly to connect you with nationwide 4G LTE coverage.
 

How long do I have to activate the sim and do I need to sign up for a plan that I have to pay every month or do they have pay as you go? I don’t need the sim right away and will not be using every month!

I don't think there is a time limit for the sim card, the service is month to month (no contract)

Samsung Chromebook Plus 12.3" Touch-Screen Chromebook: Enjoy effortless multitasking and superb video quality on the go with this Samsung Chromebook Plus. It has a 2.0GHz hexa-core processor and 4GB of RAM, so it responds quickly to your commands. This Samsung Chromebook Plus 12.3" has a 32GB hard drive with plenty of room for documents, photographs and music.
 

What kind of adapter does this laptop need

I got a USB-C hub (made by HooToo priced around $25.00), it has HDMI, power, and two USB 3.0)...I believe anything that will work for a Macbook 12 will also work for this.

Travel lightly with this 15-inch Samsung Notebook 9 Pro laptop. It converts to a tablet when needed, navigable with the included stylus or the responsive touch screen, and its powerful Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of RAM let you multitask smoothly. This Samsung Notebook 9 Pro laptop saves files and finds them quickly on the 256GB solid-state drive.
 

How quiet is this laptop? Is it a huge improvement over its previous version? Could i run photoshop, illustrator smoothly on this machine?

this model is whisper quiet...as far as improvement, I'm not sure what you are referring? If you mean battery life then, yes, battery life is better but screen is FHD not UHD.
