Was on dell chat did initially look for a refurb none available so the base machine was 2049 Asked what deal they could do told a small porky and said a friend had this system with the specs initially offered it to me for 2999 but haggled told the guy I would think about it and get back to them then he offered. Me this one couldn't say no been pondering wether I should have opted for the qhd screen as ra ad some good reviews
 
Well I get the 14 days return would think the screen should be ok for gaming using 4K screen does that have an extra drain on gpu performance. Didn't see option for extended warranty
 
Seriously doubting my purchase starting to wish I had gone for qhd screen will try gow4 and see how it performs don't really wanna send back as great purchase for price but for this sort of money will send back if gaming is not as I hope it will be are all 120hz screen g sync Re the graphics better than on Xbox one which I have been using my current Alienware is 6 years old so had good use out of it hoping this one will last as long
 
well got laptop few error problems setting up with call to dell seems to be running ok. cant hear the fans but not actually played any games yet. did a bios update and heard the fans at full speed man they are loud. anyone know of a free benchmark program I can dl for free to stress test this machine
 
since Wednesday I have had 6 occasions where I have started the computer to be met by a blue screen saying your computer has ran into a problem and needs to restart there is a barcode picture next to it anyone know what this is as really thinking of sending this back as should be working perfect
 
Dell collecting tomorrow very good service gutted going back to my 7 year old dell difference is night and day well when I get refunded will start looking for another brand
 
Well dpd failed to collect the laptop really furious as had someone stay on all day waiting for them sent email to the lady I had been dealing with she has offered me a 15% discount plus an extended 1 years guarantee plus an engineer will come out and set the computer up hopefully without any errors don't know what to do.
 
Rebooked for Wednesday collection seriously considering the offer got a few day to think about gonna restore from factory one more time and see what happens
 
Well a second no show for collection of the laptop. 2 days wasted waiting in. Spoke to the service rep I have been dealing with and asked what she could do for me if I keep it, offered me a 25% discount plus extended 2 years warranty. Said ok, so should get a 400 refund and 3 years guarantee
 
that's what I thought. refund coming to me for around £400 quid so paid around 1400 all in with service plan. gonna reformat tonight and start fresh hopefully wont get that bloody error message again
