• Reviews around keyboard (3.99 of 5)

    Dell Inspiron i5577-7342BLK-PUS,15.6" Gaming Laptop, (Intel Core i7,16GB,512GB SSD),NVIDIA GTX 1050

    • I love the red accents and backlit keyboard.
    • Keyboard is good, and looks sharp with the red backlighting
    • Keyboard is fine, however I wish it was a bit lower down on the base, there is a lot of free space that feels odd on your wrists if you are not sitting at the correct height to type
    • I am not a fan of the darker keyboard even though it is backlite, it takes some getting use to.
    • Specifically, I bought the version with the 500GB SSD and 16GB RAM, and then I added a 2.5" HDD that I bought elsewhere, which allowed me to use the SSD for programs and the HDD for storage/docs.***The biggest pros include: 7700HQ processor, NVIDIA GTX 1050 video, near-full-size keyboard with num pad, non-glossy screen, drive bays for both SSD and HDD, plus ease of one-screw disassembly and access to battery, memory, and SSD/HDD (disassembly would be sooo painful if I instead were to buy the competing Asus VivoBook such as the M580VD-EB76... which I seriously considered FYI).***The biggest cons include: large form factor (the laptop footprint is much bigger than the size of the screen), Windows 10 Home (let's face it, the Home version is trash... and if you don't know that yet, you will soon), flimsy hinges (so flimsy I feel guilty opening and closing the lid), flimsy back panel (thin and weak), flimsy gills (the red-colored metal radiator gills are cute but are made of tin foil, quite literally... super-extra flimsy), flimsy body (so flimsy I can bend it visibly by using only two fingers of each hand to twist it in opposite directions), no video out except one HDMI port (you will need to buy USB to VGA Video Graphics Adapters to extend your desktop, which are $30 to $35 each - by the way, I recommend the ones made by Pluggable brand), and finally, with Windows 10 Home edition this PC is simply NOT cheap.***One last tip: people who say that the sub-woofer on this laptop makes it sound awesome are either deaf or have really low expectations or working for Dell - ignore them and accept the fact that the sub-woofer is going to suck, and all subwoofers sized like a penny always suck
    • Full keyboard is nice
    • The look and feel of this laptop is great, the laptop boots fast, runs smoothly, the screen colors are ok, the keyboard feels sturdy and the trackpad works nice, the only issue I had so far is the additional software added to the os, it's very intrusive, the included antivirus is specially annoying, constantly crashing full screen apps for no good reason and windows is constantly downloading and installing unwanted apps

    • What I like the most about this laptop is it's performance/price ratio, the keyboard is awesome (although the pad does faults at times) and the excellent design that combines "work" with "fun" which makes it appropriate for more business-y meetings

    • A terrific computer, fast as I expected, and reasonably priced for a gaming machine.
