As a videographer who also doesnt like being cooped up in the house, this laptop has been a godsend for smaller projects. Battery life is standard when just browsing around, but I only get an hour or so out of it during standard editing workloads. This is to be expected and I always bring the charger with me. Screen is really quite brilliant (from what I understand, superior over macbook screens.) In most instances this laptop can handle my GH5s 4k footage with ease, even with heavy color grading over VLOG. It has fantastic rendering optimization with its GTX 1650 as well. I bought mine with 16gb of RAM and almost always max out on memory when going back and forth between premiere/after effects, but similar to the battery problem this was expected and I can always upgrade to 32/64gb in the future.

Does everything without you thinking about it's performance. I edit 6k and 4.6k timelines in RAW, without terrible stutter or crashes. Rendering speed is fine about a 2:1 ratio. Color is not 100% accurate as it is advertised I would say more 99%, the saturation is too high on the base settings. Other than that worth every penny Read more
Have used this for about a year. Mehhhhhh. Its manageable. And gets the job done for mid range editing and day to day tasks. Power management system is terrible. Sleep mode basically doesn't work. And it's terrible for gaming. Overall, not too bothered I bought it but not sure I'll get another. Read more
The 4k is mint The speed is unreal The weight is incredibly light And it's looks sleek. Buy this one if your looking for a quality 4k video editing computer. Read more
The media could not be loaded. I purchased this computer in August last year, and almost immediately I began having problems with it. When it boots, it will randomly shutdown, and if it boots again, will shutdown within a few minutes. The rest of the time, instead of booting, it will turn the keyboard light on, all fans to the max for 20-30s, and then will shutdown again. You can see the malfunction behavior in the video posted. The first time I placed a repair request with Dell, a technician came to my home and replaced the motherboard. Within a week the same problems showed up again, and I had to mail it in for repairs, which took a month. When they sent me the computer back THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED! After lengthy conversations and calls with Dell's customer service, I'm having it repaired A THIRD TIME. Under the California Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, after a reasonable number of repair attempts have been made, or if the repairs are not completed within 30 days, the consumer is entitled to request a refund. Both are true in case. Therefore I should be able to request a refund and return the computer. However Dell refuses to offer a refund because the computer was purchased from a retailed (Amazon),and amazon won't do anything since it's out of the "product service" period. Purchasing this computer was an extreme frustration to me, I had two month long trips that I was planning on using it and had to leave it home, it was a waste of money. Look into other brands.

This is an excellent computer for podcasting, zooming, and even some gaming activities. As advertised, it is not for high end gamers. You guys need a gaming certified system. For everyone else, this laptop is great. Read more
I’ve had this specific version since Oct 19, 2019. As an upgrade from a Dell XPS 13. Very mixed feelings. I do a lot of photo/video editing daily. The fingerprint reader is Lightning fast. The screen is beautiful. Love the keyboard. Adobe apps run decent on this. I’ve also tried gaming, awesome, fairly surprised at how good it is. But on the other hand, this thing can easily feel like an oven and sound like a train. I have to put a cooling pad and even a normal fan pointed towards it to avoid it getting to that point. Which means if I don’t have the cooling pad with me when I travel, I’m very limited to how much time I can be on it. The battery only lasts me about close to an hour. And when I charge it, it heats up like crazy too and unusable pretty much. If it wasn’t for this being an oven apart from a laptop, It’d be such a great system. Regardless, I work with what I have and make the best out of it. I’ll be moving on to a new Apple MacBook Pro laptop soon. Read more
