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.

First gaming laptop
The laptop runs very smoothly. However, after owning it for a week or so, I found that it has trouble restarting without freezing on the dell logo. I can get by this by rebooting the laptop, but this is kinda annoying, I'll definitely try to look into troubleshooting this issue.

Full wattage 4060!
This gaming laptop is basically the Dell branded version of their higher tier award winning gaming brand laptops in disguise at a price point that knocks it out of the park. Specifically a wolf in sheep’s clothing so to speak. It even uses Dells own Alienware command center for all the controls you could want as far as performance, lighting, sound, fan speed and all. It even has a built in overlay for games you can hit a control shift Y and bring up your current fan speed and cpu/gpu temps which is really nice to know of sometimes when your really cranking. One thing that really impressed me with this is the fact that it runs a FULL 140w rtx 4060 in here which the past two years is almost never this high of wattage. Granted wattage doesn’t make as significant a difference as it did on the 30 series gpus it still gives this machine an advantage vs some others that are only running the same graphics chip at 80w for sure. Being able to reach benchmark scores into the high 10k low 11k range in time spy bringing it into reach of other much more expensive 4070 powered machines. This HX cpu is also extremely performant for the spec and power draw able to score over 20k multi core on the R23 benchmark and 1900 single core. With these big chips you’d expect two things, heat and power consumption with loud fans. So because you can use Alienware command center you can set your preferred profile which on silent mode means the fans actually don’t even spin and it’s actually silent while on performance or even G turbo mode the fans are loud but oh my the thermals are incredibly good!! Even maxing out the cpu and gpu at the same time 100% it can manage to keep both in the 70c range which is extremely rare in gaming laptops these days. Now it does use a very large power brick which is 330w but the fact it’s running full wattage makes total sense to have and can be thought as a large benefit. I should note on battery power in silent profile web browsing I was comfortably able to do so for a good 6 hours without fear of battery being dead with the large 86w/hr battery this is also a really good stat for a gaming laptop. The chassis is an excellent dark grey and black with orange backlit keys and orange rear vents which really pops and looks very good. It is a full plastic build including the trackpad but it’s not the type of plastic to where it feels cheap it’s all quality feeling and not creaky or anything and the trackpad feels almost Teflon coated it’s so smooth. The display is FHD and a little on the dimmer side at only 250nits and this is the only real drawback for me and why it’s not a 5 star review. The resolution is a great fit for this gpu but the brightness doesn’t get bright enough in certain situations for me when working in front of my living room window. Note that I can still see it but in direct sunlight it’s just on the verge of being difficult to do so and just 50-100 nits brighter screen would be a perfect solution here but alas you can’t have it all at this price point. That brings me to the price and thoughts here overall. I don’t think that there is another budget minded gaming laptop that is this good of a value out there today. There is heavy competition at this price point by almost every brand out there but Dell really just gives you a little of everything then makes this thing shine with extreme performance with good thermals you can’t find in any of the others. You can’t really ask for more, making this lead the pack in the budget machines category imo. Great laptop for a budget gamer to a college student to even the hardcore gamer looking for a good machine for the value as it can suit a wide variety of uses perfectly well even if it’s not primarily gaming. This edges out every other laptop in its price range and gets a good recommendation from me.

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.

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!

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.

CAPABLE MACHINE!!!
The Dell G15 stands as a formidable contender in the gaming laptop arena. The laptop offers excellent performance with great specs but takes a hit in some areas. So, let’s go over what this laptop has to offer and what could be improved upon. Configuration: DIMENSIONS: 1.06 H x 14.07 W x 10.80D – 6.19LBS DISPLAY: 15.6 in FHD LED Display VRAM: 8GB GDDR6 CPU: Intel i7 13th Gen13650HX Processor STORAGE: 1TB (EXPANDABLE) PCIe NVMe SSD RAM: DDR5 16GB (EXPANDABLE) WLAN: WIFI-6 PORTS: 1 X HDMI 2.1, 1 Headphone/Microphone jack combo, 3 USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, and 1 USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port with DisplayPort BATTERY: 6 CELL 86WH – Up to 6.5 hours Processor and Memory: The G15 is powered by the 13th Gen intel Core i7-13650HX processor which has 14 cores, 20 threads and can turbo boost up to 4.90 Ghz. The 13th gen i7 processor is a multitasking powerhouse. I experienced seamless transitions between gaming, streaming, and productivity seamlessly. The 16GB of DD5 ram ensures that your laptop can handle even the most demanding application with ease. Combine the processor and memory in this unit with the GeForce RTX 4060 and you have yourself a top-notch gaming machine. I tested out multiple AAA title games and it was a smooth and beautiful gaming experience across the board. Display: The G15 boasts a 15.6 screen with Full HD 1920x1080 120Hz LED display. The display itself is bright, clear and the colors are pretty good, I personally feel that the FHD resolution feels a bit dated for a gaming laptop of this caliber. Unfortunately, there are no options for a higher resolution display for this model. Design: Even though I am always a big fan of being able to upgrade my laptops, I guess they come at a price, and this is where this laptop takes a hit. The G15 comes in a Dark shadow color which gives it a sleek look, but this thing is massive and heavy. Coming in at almost 6.5lbs and with a massive power brick, this isn’t a laptop that you can game on or watch movies on your lap for extended periods and gets a bit cumbersome to carry from place to place. The laptop also struggles with heat management, often becoming uncomfortably warm during extended gaming sessions. STORAGE: This laptop offers a storage capacity of up to 1TB. While this is generally sufficient for most users, the storage space is expandable if you choose. In conclusion, Dell G15, while offering some impressive specs and delivering a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience, falls short in terms of design, portability and heat management. A laptop should not feel like a chore to carry about and the heat coming off this thing was bit much for me. However, if you prioritize raw performance at a competitive price point and don't mind the bulkier design and don’t plan on gaming with this on your lap, it's still a capable machine.
