I wish I had known how great this is for gaming before I bought my oldest son a $2,000 gaming PC! I bought this laptop for my youngest, and he loves how he can do any gaming he wants to! It’s super fast, the battery lasts a long time, and it’s sturdy! Do NOT get a Chromebook for gaming. They’re perfect for schooling/web browsing/streaming, but they are NOT compatible with Steam, Minecraft, etc. This Dell is the perfect gaming laptop, at an awesome price!
