Best all around laptop for the price
This laptop is absolutely underrated. Bought it for a great price and at a discount (Keep a lookout for the occasional discount!) and this machine delivers. It has great storage space, great performance, and not too loud. The trackpad feels cheap but there’s really no other complaint for the price. I’ve downloaded FPS games off of Steam and it plays smooth with high settings. I’m also using the laptop for multimedia creation and graphic design programs. Solid personal work laptop or high performing college laptop on a budget.

Overall very happy
Computer runs great, runs my games well, and is overall very nice. Battery life is short, I choose to keep it plugged in while I use it otherwise itll die after about 2 hours of gaming. The fan is also super loud. Other than that, overall I am very happy with the purchase.

Powerful Laptop with Excellent Features
Dell has been making some of the best gaming laptops for years. This G15 model is following that trend. It comes with high end components but still manages to maintain a reasonable price point. Pros: - It has a beautiful Full HD display with a terrific refresh rate (120Hz) to improve the look and flow of your gaming experience. - As Dell owns Alienware, the Alienware Command Center comes pre-installed to help you manage/tweak your laptop performance from its convenient dashboard. - Performance can be boosted with the push of a button. The game boost button (doubling as F9) lets you enable or disable the feature with one touch. You'll hear the fans kick into high gear with thermal cooling helping maintain CPU/GPU temperatures. - With an RTX 4060 graphics card, you'll have no trouble playing any game in your library. I was able to play my favorite titles at high settings, getting terrific frame rates. The game play was similar to even higher end laptops that I have used. - The 1TB solid state drive allows for fast updates to Windows and quick boot times. Games also load far more quickly. If I had my way I would never use a hard drive again in my life. Cons: - Sound quality was good but not great. But like most laptops, you'll typically be using alternate audio options anyway. - Because of the power of this system battery life can drain somewhat quickly, especially if you are in high performance mode. You'll want to be near an outlet for any longer gaming sessions. - 1 TB storage can fill up quickly on a gaming laptop so be prepared to expand if you like to have many games installed at once. This is a terrific gaming laptop. The quality of components combined with its reasonable cost makes it an excellent buy.

A More Than Capable Budget Friendly Gaming Laptop
I was looking forward to seeing what Dell has done with their 1K gaming laptop with the G15. Even budget gaming laptops have become powerful now, but in order to keep the price low, manufacturers end up opting for a few components or features that are mid grade in order to keep it around 1K in price. Dell has packed quite a lot into the G15. The FHD 120Hz screen and the WiFi card seem to be where Dell was able to reduce some costs to get the G15 around the 1K mark. The screen is good as is the WiFi card, but both are more than sufficient to make my gaming experience with the G15 a really good fun experience. design/construction I like the construction of the G15 case. It's sturdy. The hinge for the screen I like as well. The hinge isn't as wide as the laptop which gives the impression that it is a 15" display sitting on top of the laptop as opposed to an impression that it is integrated/built-in. It has a full keyboard layout which I like on laptops as I do use the number pad often. Dell chose to offset the trackpad which I don't like. Dell isn't the only manufacturer that does this, but I would like to see the trackpad shifted to the center left to right on future iterations of the G15. The keyboard backlighting was helpful when in low light. This laptop has some weight to it. When you add the weight of the large 330W adapter that it uses, it adds up to a lot of weight. This isn't a problem for me but I wouldn't want to be carrying this around plus the power brick daily in my laptop backpack. According to Dell, the G15's 86 Wh battery will get me up to 6hrs 31 minutes of runtime. When running an FPS, battery life was less as I expected it to be. Running an office app and a browser, I was getting reasonably good battery life for a gaming laptop, but I wouldn't buy this for office apps. I use it for gaming, photo editing, and video rendering. When gaming and video rendering, I get much less battery life. This should be expected given how much power the CPU and GPU require in order to run a game or video rendering software. Screen/GPU The built-in screen is a 115.6" FHD display. I found that it isn't as bright as an OLED or similar display, but was more than adequate for my use. My use of standard apps was a good experience with the display. The brightness of it allowed me to see apps without a problem in both low and bright light. The screen runs at up to 120Hz which helps with games such as an FPS. Battlefield 2042 looked good on the display. The onboard GPU is an Intel UHD GPU and the discrete GPU is an NVidia RTS 4060 8GB. The 4060 supports G-Syc so it worked quite well with my 32" gaming monitor which also supports G-Sync. It was enjoyable to play BF 2042 on the G15. I didn't experience screen lag or any video related glitches when playing it. Internal Hardware The G15 came with an Intel Core i7-13650HX. This is an up-to-date CPU and is what I expected for a 1K gaming laptop. It was more than enough to play all of my games on without causing lag or other problems. Regarding the RAM, my G15 came with 16GB of DDR5 RAM. The RAM is good, but I would have liked to see it come with 32GB. 16GB of RAM is now on the lower side of things and games run much smoother with 32GB. It comes with a built-in webcam, however, the webcam is only 720p. I don't record video of myself while play a game and screen recording the game, but if I did, I would have to use a different camera as 720p just wouldn't be sufficient. I like the 1TB NVMe SSD. I found it to be fast enough that game load times were reasonable. It's good to see that Dell has a 1TB SSD option. The laptop also has a WiFi 6 AX201 WiFi card in it. This is not a WiFi 6E card which I would have liked to have seen in it, but this is more than sufficient to play multiplayer games. I didn't have lag problems when using the G15 to play BattleField. The only problem I experience with the WiFi card was that when downloading BF 2042 and other games, the laptop heated up quite a bit. I was getting up to 500Mbs transfer speeds which shouldn't have caused excessive heat. Nothing was running that would have added to the heating as I checked all processes running at that time. The transfer speeds were decent and it isn't often that I'm downloading 70+GB of games, so I don't expect that to be a problem. Ports Dell has added into the G15 three USB 3.2 gen 1 ports, a USB-C 3.2 gen2 with display port support. I would like to see next versions of the G15 come with an additional USB-C port, but as it stands I like the updated USB-C port included. It also has an HDMI 2.1 port. It's good to see that Dell is staying up-to-date on I/O ports with the G15. Lastly, it has a 3.5mm headphone/mic port and an 1GB LAN port both of which are on the left side of the laptop. The LAN port has a spring loaded part the moves down when connecting a LAN cable. Time will tell if it causes a problem, but as of now, I like it. It allows the LAN port to have a more seamless integration with the angled part of the bottom edge of the laptop. I found the spring to feel strong, so I'm not worried about it failing. Conclusion The Dell G15 is a good 1K gaming laptop. With the CPU and GPU that are in it, it hits the mark for a budget friendly gaming laptop. I would like to see Dell step up to a WiFi 6e nic and add in 32GB, but a manufacturer has to weigh price vs capability. I'm very happy with my G15 and I believe you get a lot for the price.

Laptop Vs workstation
Dell Gt15 was incredible plenty of computing power, easy connectivity to wireless, and great graphics. I thought the wife would have troubles using a mobile device but she took to it easily and now prefers it over the work station.

Well powered gaming laptop
So far it has been able to run every game I play, Warzone, GTA, and the likes. Very good laptop especially on a sale. Wish it was less plastic-y but still feels quality. The power brick is huge and heavy and so is the laptop it self coming from a non gaming laptop.

Great Budget Gaming
I want to preface this by saying that i'm not the most tech savvy person but this laptop has been incredible. It can run pretty much any kind of game with little to no issue at all. I tested it using the highest quality SEUS Shaders for Minecraft and it handled that great. Also ran 3D programs very well too. I really love that you can have different performance settings per game that switch automatically once you open the game/app. One downside is that you're pretty much forced to always have the laptop plugged in otherwise the battery life depletes FAST. And with how heavy/large the laptop AND the charger is you might have to buy a lap desk like me if you don't have an actual desk. It physically hurts trying to have this thing on your lap for an extended period of time. Other than those flaws I'd say it's still really worth getting especially with how inexpensive it is.

Budget friendly Alienware!
Had spent some time with my new Dell G15 : -CPU: i7 13th gen -GPU: Nvidia RTX 4060 -RAM: 16GB -Memory: 1TB SSD -And a maaaasive power supply(330w), the biggest i have ever seen in laptop so far! *Right off the bat this laptop screams Alienware, it's very edge, a little bit clunky(6.2lbs), with a very gaming characteristics every way you turn it! I like that they matched the cooling fins with the orange from the G logo from the side! *The keyboard feels good and it is backlit(orange), the trackpad is medium size with a somewhat grip to it(i wish they would've made it little diferent texture allowing my finger to glide better.... but for an everyday use it's totally fin since mostly i would be using my mouse for gaming! *The screen is good for a gaming laptop. Very accurate on colors with 120hz refresh rate. That gets just bright enough to let you enjoy most of the content. This laptop it's very well equipped and it's a good deal for the price. It won't break the bank and will offer very good performance in a nicely designed body, very very similar to an Alienware. Oh i almost forgot about the "G key" is located at the top middle of the keyboard and will activate the Boost Cooling Mode on demand i think that's pretty neath since this machine can get warm when you put those components on load! In the end the Dell G15 it's a good gaming laptop that suits well the gaming enthusiasts, offering good performance in a nice body(with decent speakers,screen and battery) for a price that would satisfy most of us that look to obtain some great performance without breaking the bank!

Solid FHD performance with Alienware cooling tech
This gaming laptop has a quite spacious screen estate and it is quite substantial in terms of dimension and weight. Gaming laptop used to be ginormous and this laptop, though it is still big being a 15-inch laptop, it’s not as huge as the 17-inch model. Having said that, however, some other gaming laptops can be as small as 13-inch, weight much less and thinner than the 15-inch gaming laptop. The 15-inch class gaming laptop gives us a great balance between performance, excellent screen estate and portability. At the outset this laptop is an able desktop replacement performer with its Intel i7 13650 HX processor, Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU, 16 GB DDR5 RAM, and ample of ports. It supports Wifi 6 and BT 5.2 and it has excellent port variety including USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 with Display Port, HDMI 2.1, and even RJ45 to connect your fiber network directly to your laptop, which makes the laptop viable for some competitive gaming. The maximum RAM is 32GB, which means user needs to replace existing Rams with 2 x 16 GB DDR5 RAM. There are two M2 storage memory slots, which is nice if you want to add more storage in the future. For now, the 1 GB slot should be enough if you play 5-6 AAA titles every now and then. The design is unmistakenly Dell/ Alienware and I would say that it borrows the design so much from Alienware since Dell owns Alienware. The laptop is solid and the overall appearance is actually more like a business laptop instead of looking like a gaming laptop. There’s no fancy LED, other than the illuminated keyboard, and there’s no smooth texture of an Alienware laptop to give a strong gaming laptop impression. The Dell actually looks like a normal business/ professional laptop, which makes it very much suitable to use in the meeting rooms. For those who are into gaming, however, you can still quickly tell that it’s a gaming laptop judging from the design of the cooling system. In fact, if I don’t see the Dell branding on the laptop, I could be mistaken that it’s actually an Alienware. According to Dell, the cooling technology is inspired by Alienware and I can see that clearly as the laptop sits on the desk and I compare both my Alienware R16, that is slightly larger, with the Dell. Having such an advanced cooling system in a laptop is important as nobody wants to lose frames when playing graphics intensive games over a long period of gaming session. The laptop also comes with Alienware Command Center, which again makes a stronger impression that this is actually an Alienware in a Dell body. The laptop comes with a huge and heavy 330 watts power brick, which is quite sad since Dell sells a slimmer and much lighter 330W power adapter. The supplied power brick is the same one with my R16 Alienware. The huge power brick makes the laptop somewhat undesirable to carry around as a home and work laptop so purchasing a slim 330W power brick would become a necessity for that purpose. Setting up the laptop is just like any other Windows laptop. I updated the firmware and Windows automatically imported the settings and apps from my other PC. There’s a firmware update that I performed. I’m quite unpleasantly surprised that after installing a firmware update, I experienced a couple of blue screens. It could be that the firmware was not stable or it’s just Windows thingy, I’m not sure. After installing another firmware update, which is quite surprising that there would be another firmware update in the first place because the laptop should have been updated to the latest one without requiring multiple updates, the laptop is now stable without experiencing blue screen anymore. Being a PC laptop, it’s not the most energy efficient laptop out there. The laptop supports Nvidia Optimus, which makes a MUX switch pretty much unnecessary provided that we have set accordingly the programs that require discrete GPU. Gaming on the battery is possible, however, expect the battery to drain really fast but to be fair nobody do serious gaming on battery anyways. The battery is rated by Dell to last more than 6 hours; however, this figure is only achievable when the laptop is running non graphics intensive app exclusively. Also, it’s important to remember that this is a 15-inch class gaming laptop so don’t expect it to be an allrounder that has great battery life. So, how does it perform as a gaming laptop? It performs quite well. Let’s talk about the screen. The FHD screen is matte and works at 120hz, which should be enough for most gamers. AAA title runs smoothly and colors are vibrant enough. The 120hz screen does a great job in smoothing the visual. 1080 resolution still gives you plenty of detail on the 15.6 screen. A pro gamer, however, would likely look for a laptop that has RTX 4080 or at least 4070 class GPU and would appreciate greater level of detail. This laptop, which has RTX 4060 is suitable for gaming at FHD resolution and it performs well within the spec. Graphics at FHD resolution and RTX on, is still smooth. Cyberpunk 2077 in high quality, with ray tracing’s medium setting and DLSS auto, performed smooth. In the benchmark, average FPS is 70.33, the highest is 105 FPS and the lowest is 25, which is more than playable. At the given parameters, graphics are definitely better than console in terms of quality and performance. I reckon that overall performance is actually on par if not better than my desktop class PC with RTX 2070 Super, which is not at all surprising given that my gaming rig is about 4 years old now. Audio performance does not disappoint, it is loud enough for gaming and the microphone works well so this laptop is all good for multiplayer gaming. I also like the Alienware style cooling system and have no problem with it. Overall, I’m happy with the laptop because it has the specs that I want and it is basically an Alienware machine in a Dell package. So, who is this gaming laptop for? Anyone who wants to game and looks for a desktop replacement. With the purchase of a slim power adapter, this could become a great home/work laptop, as well.
