I used always go for dell just because of its trust and brand and it’s sleek design but it’s seems to be simpler othee thannSpeakers are loud enough and give a clear sound experience. It is light weight machine. Battery is good too if you are not gaming but this is a gaming beast for this price range. Resolution is awesome. ppts and excel work as well as programming on this laptop is smooth. but fan is badly placed but I love this genuinely.
