It is not a "gaming" laptop if it cannot play games at a decent framerate.

More Dell marketing gimmicks.

This is a consumer grade laptop that is capable of playing "some" games.
 
Pretty good device considering the cost. Sub $1000 USD is a range that's hard to pull real "gaming" off at 1080p, too many cost related constraints. $1200~1500 and higher is where you can fit in the more expensive dGPU's required to do high FPS gaming. So considering that, Dell has done a very good job of providing a "good enough" device for people on a budget.
 
looks like it would be more than capable at medium settings rather than high/ultra.

and if the $900 is too expenasive, they offer it for $799 with a 1 TB 5400 HDD and a base 1050. again, a medium settings gamer, or older systems, which is pretty decent for the cost
 
I debated grabbing a 15 gaming as a poor mans alienware, but opted for the 13 and 15 Alienware systems for the children instead. 17% off made it the best bang for the buck I could go with and with 4 year accidental damage coverage, I want them to be able to be worth gaming in 4 year still. Pretty sure the Alienwares will be able to in none VR settings, I had my doubts about the 15 gaming.
 
looks like a solid choice. Won't be able to play most games at high or ultra like a $700 desktop would but it can at least PLAY the games if you can live with reduce quality settings and or 720p res.
 
Would be nice if the benchmarks included Maxwell 860M/960M models as well as Nvidia 750M models for those looking to upgrade from the previous couple of generations.
 
so basically it can play every game you throw at it if you dial back from ultra/high settings. i havent played any of my pc games at high or ultra since i started gaming on pc in the mid 90's. this is more than sufficient for the price point, congrats dell
 
Nice review!

I just bought this laptop and a 3.5 inch harddrive drive will this work or will I have to return it for a 2.5 inch?
 


You need a 2.5 drive - the 3.5 drive is for desktops.
 
I picked up a prior model a while with a 4GB GTX 960M, i7 6700MQ, for a simple personal laptop that actually had some power. It was $799 with a 1TB Seagate hybrid and 8GB DDR3. Added another stick of DDR3 and swapped in an old MX200 SSD I had sitting around and it makes a good machine for under $800. Much lower than that and there isn't a lot in the 15.6" range that has a 1080P screen still even if you aren't looking to run games on it all that much.
 
Be aware, I have been told by theDell reps on the online chat that the screen is now IPS it's an absolute lie.
I have contacted Dell online chat to ask them if the display was TN or IPS on the 15th of march 2017, they answered me they are now all IPS, I was happy and purchased. It took 11days to receive the laptop. Just after I unpacked I noticed the display was a TN and in top of that a faulty TN! I had vertical lines even in the BIOS.
The customer service is in India, they speak a really bad English, it's super hard to understand a single word.
They admit the Dell rep online did a mistake the display is still the same bad TN, they offered a refund but only after they received the product back in their warehouse, that's another 10 days.
My experience with Dell is a total disaster, the display of the Inspiron is so bad it's hard to watch a movie, don't even think about video editing or photoshop. And the customer service is a disgrace.
