Better than average, not great

I'd like to start off by saying Best Buy has been absolutely fantastic in my ordeal with these machines. That said, lets get in to it!
Both machines did boot, both did play games (and didn't die during games). It came with FarCry 5? That's where the good stops.
Originally I bought one of these that claimed to have a liquid cooling unit in the machine, the rear fan is an 80mm on these machines. I figured, how neat would an 80mm liquid cooled machine be? (These do exist by the way, and you can find them) The units listed on site DO NOT have a liquid cooling unit. That was my first experience and then it gets all kinds of bad. All of the Inspiron ads say that this machine clearly has 2x PCI-E 16x slot(s). They do not. These PCI-E slots only run at 8x. (I did not know that going in, seeing as X370 chipset clearly supports 16x PCI-E). The Power Supplies in these machines is EXTREMELY crippled and barely has any space to get proper ventilation - Switching to a different one will be very difficult and the 850w refurb from Dell will cost you $$$. There's only 1 rear facing 80mm fan (which works okay, but seriously?). No Wraith cooler on the CPU. The graphics card is barely an RX480 not an RX580. The 16GB DDR4 is 2400 Single Channel with awful timings, not dual, and even if it were it's the cheapest set they could find. They even went out of their way to prevent you from swapping the motherboard with another mATX one. (Which would solve some of the issues with these machines). Finally to top all of that off, the HDD basically ran at 100% ALWAYS. Updating the drivers with the Dell software caused it to BSOD on me and I gave up on the machine. My experience with these was not pleasant and thus I cannot recommend them to anyone.
All I can say is, search this machine online thoroughly before you buy it. You can find a lot of what I just mentioned on Dell's community forum. So you won't have to take my word for it. This machine is definitely a cut above the average OEM from days past, but no real winner for a power user.

Discover the power of extreme detail with this Dell 24-inch monitor. The 1440p resolution is ideal for high-intensity gaming, where that little bit of extra detail can make the difference between a win and a loss.

For the price (on sale) this is likely the best monitor you can get. It does GSYNC and 165hz well. The stand is amazing. However, that's where the good stops. The color reproduction is awful and the color banding will drive you absolutely mad. If you've ever looked at an IPS. Stay away from this screen. (Also, once you've seen the smoothness of 120+hz. You can never unsee it.)

Cons:
Not so bright. In a room with bulb above your head if it's laying down and pointed in any direction one side of the room will shadow without two bulbs.

If you have some disposable income and want to give smart lighting a try this is probably the best place to start. I ended up returning mine. It's probably best to wait until these bulbs cost like $9 each.

I was super excited when I saw this in the store, bought it immediately. It's pretty big for a Funko figure, though.
Does not fly like a dragon.
Does not breathe fire like a dragon.
Tastes like a dragon.

When you can get this thing on sale it's an amazing deal. Have all of your Amazon features right in your face. Books, Manga, Gaming, Amazon. It's easy to hold, has amazing battery life and has a pretty decent screen. Sure the Galaxy tablets have better specs, but it's the price and features you get from Amazon that make this device amazing!

For an off brand item this thing has great quality and would work for any tablet. However, be aware that this does not work well with the Fire HD 8 or HD 10. The buttons get in the way.

Will the alimentation be a problem? I asked a friend of mine and he told me that if the alimentation was under 500w then it might be a problem to play some games like Nier:automata or Dishonored 2 in ultra. Is that true?
