What Buyers Say

Dell G5 15.6" G5587-7866BLK-PUS Licorice Black 2018

72 out of 100 low confidence 7 reviews

Users are largely satisfied with this Dell G5 5587 gaming laptop, praising its strong gaming performance, solid build, and good value for the price. However, overheating is a significant and recurring issue, with many describing it as "cooking like an oven" and requiring workarounds like propping it up. The small 128GB SSD C: drive and the pre-installed SmartByte software are also common complaints, though these are seen as manageable by more tech-savvy users.
