  1. Question

    Darrell Johnson

    Lap top locked up. Making a buzz sound.

  2. Question

    Josh

    Is this Dell any good for gaming in 2020?

    • Dan

      It has very basic graphics, so the laptop isn’t generally good for gaming. At least not for 2020 blockbuster AAA titles. But, it can run lighter games like League of Legends or Minecraft quite decently.
